“I think Rahm is reflecting the true Obama.”

This is exactly correct. Obama is on the left of virtually every issue, usually on the extreme left. The only “moderate” feature he has is a calm, reassuring voice.

I think Rahm is reflecting the true Obama. The press did such a good job of hiding just who and what Obama is that I feel we can better assess this poor excuse for a president by observing those around him. He picked them because they are a reflection of whatever he really is.

Also, Dan, just what particular strengths do you think Obama has? I do not call reading well from a teleprompter a skill and besides that Obama has shown he does not even do that all that well.

Nawh, Dan… it worked just fine that way. Brilliant slip of the Freudian subconscious there.

Dan, did you intend to write “If the president wants to LOVE up to his campaign pledge of post-partisanship…” because, in this day of Hope and Hype, I think love up ought to replace “live up”.

It reminds me of all those JibJab documentaries of Obama prancing around the political stage on a unicorn, spreading love with a Pride colored banner held high.

But you’re right: this Emanuel is NOT “the promised of ages”. “Open the gates before him” and let’s all “lift up our voices” to get him and TimmieTheTaxCheat tossed.

Obama needs a detail man as his right-hand man. Not a partisan gunslinger with an axe to grind.

It seems to me that Rahm is exactly what Obama wants.

All that talk of bipartisanship was only campaign rhetoric. He wants to remake America into a socialist country.
During the latter part of his campaign he tried to sell himself as a moderate on the abortion issue. That too was simply a ruse.

With the cover of MSM and the strong desire of people to elect a well spoken clean black man as president of the US, he sailed into office.

His honeymoon is over, if things don’t turn around soon he may regret Rahm, right now, I think he is loving it.
