Rahm: Bush and McCain Are Following Obama's Foreign Policy Lead
ABC NEWS

House Democratic Caucus Chair Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., today claimed that President Bush (not to mention Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.) are following the lead of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, in foreign policy.

"Who is leading who on foreign policy?" asked Emanuel in a statement. "The Bush administration is right to follow Senator Obama's lead by engaging in diplomatic efforts with Iran, cracking down on Al Qaeda, and supporting additional troops in Afghanistan. But in every case, it's politics first, policy second - first the Bush administration and Senator McCain play political games, and then they decide to do the right thing and follow Senator Obama's lead.............."

3. Rahm says something smart for once.
Good job, Rahm. Thanks.



He's actually been alright since after his little clash with Dean. He got on board.
