You know Rahm is a good pick. Because Repukes are freaking out all over the place

[Thrill]

Rove and Scarbutt yesterday. I heard Brad Blakeman on XM whining about this as a slap in the face to Repukes. Saying Rahm is a pitbull, that is always getting in the face of Republicans

[billyoc]

1. Well, there's no doubt that the R's hate him.

[dennis4868]

15. of course they hate him...

he brought them down in 2004...

[billyoc]

18. Oh, that was '06.

But yeah, he was the chair of the DCCC.

[dennis4868]

20. yep....

2006....

[mrcheerful]

2. Pukes lost they need to get over it

[CJCRANE]

3. I remember him from the press conference

after the House Repubs bailed out on the bailout bill. I thought he was good.

[Lex]

4. Everyone Bush picked was a slap in the face to Dems, so the Repubs can kiss it.

5. Rahm Emmanuel is DLC, repigs should be thrilled with him. nt

[wyldwolf]

25. narrow minded approach to things

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

6. He's always getting in the faces of Republicans

to move them further to the right.

7. But Obama hates Jews!

How can he pick Rahm Emmanuel?


gotta add:
:sarcasm:
cuz some people just have no ear for it, otherwise.

14. So much for Obama being a Muslim terrorist...

...or at least not a very good one, if his chief of staff is a Jew, particularly one who is the son of an Israeli-born zionist and who once served as a volunteer in the Israel Defense Forces.

21. It's all some twisted conspiracy, I tells ya!

[nutshell2002]

23. Rahm Emmanuel IS Jewish

[southpaw]

24. Duh!

[The Stranger]

8. Tell me again why they broadcast that an offer was made before they knew whether he'd accept?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

12. I suspect that Rahm is the source of the rumor.

:shrug:

[LosinIt]

9. Prima Donna?

Doesn't the fact that he came out and announced that he had been asked, go against the way that Obama likes to run his ship? He should have kept it under wraps until he could say yes or no.

[spanone]

10. at least this pitbull isn't wearing lipstick

[peace13]

11. The odd thing is that Rove has been crawling all over my Democracy for eight years

and the rethugs never asked me how I liked that.

[codjh9]

13. Yeah, my mantra is pretty much 'if they hate it, I like it!' :^)

[Alter Ego]

16. Rahm will be good because he's Obama's doppelganger.

His archnemesis, his opposite, if you will.

Rahm's hot tempered and not afraid to bash heads together and he'll get our agenda through Congress. He's being put in a position where he doesn't make policy, but plays Enforcer to the President. Bad cop to Obama's good cop.

[treestar]

17. How much slapping in the face did they do?

Repukes have no right to complain.

[TheWraith]

19. Rahm will be a great watchdog on Capitol Hill.

I suspect that's a big reason Obama chose him: between Rahm and Joe Biden, he's going to have sheriffs keeping the entire Dem majority honest. Obama knows that his biggest threat is from Dem congressional incompetance, infighting, or corruption.

22. He's knows the hill and he knows how to get things done, he'd be a good manager.
