When he said he was psyched he didn't have to run again, was he referring to US?

[jsmirman]

Did he really mean, "after this election, I'll never be beholden to the progressive wing of my party again"???

1. I've already gotten into some small degree of trouble today for quoting Rahm Emanuel on "the left"

So I shall refrain from repeating the quote.

Suffice it to say that Rahm is not overly fond of leftists and he and Obama are quite simpatico it would seem.

5. I am not saying I know how this is going to turn out, BUT

I am very disturbed by what I hear so far.

2. Beholden?

I don't think he feels beholden.

[TDale313]

3. Honestly don't know.

However, I heard a lot of "Wait until his second term. He'll be free to do what he truly wants to do."

I think they were right. They were just wrong about what that was. (Even though he made it pretty clear that he found it courageous to screw over the "liberal" wing of his party.)

[jsmirman]

4. That's exactly what I'm wondering.

6. But he will get a pension of $400K per year.

Where have I heard that number before?? $400K ???

[jsmirman]

9. Ha!

7. Keep shoveling the crap.

You'll either end up in a hole or bury yourself. Don't forget to take your Magic 8 -Ball with you.

[jsmirman]

8. What

[FSogol]

10. +1 Spot on.

11. If he wants to shovel an endless supply of crap he only needs to follow you around.

That's also how he'll find his magic 8-ball.
