2. EXCELLENT!

He'll make a great "bad cop" with Congress.

4. Rahm is sketchy looking.

I like it.

[Avalux]

5. Good News! He is perfect for the role!

:toast:

6. Hmm... ex-Clinton aide, right?

I have been worrying about Obama being Bill Clinton II, so this does not ease my mind.

[goodgd_yall]

7. The right-wing thinks he's one of those scary leftists

That alone makes points as far as I'm concerned.

8. I can't decide if I like this.

On one hand, Rahm is further to the right than Obama, substantially so.

On the other hand, he's an asskicker extraordinaire. If anyone is going to get the job done, he will.

Another thing, doesn't this send a clear message that Obama is going to pursue his agenda pretty aggressively?

[THUNDER HANDS]

11. I think Obama was looking for an iron fist

and nothing more. I think he's going to set the policy and Emanuel will be his enforcer.

9. This is a HUUUUUGHHHH "F U" to the right wing. Seriesly!

I'm thrilled!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce:

[The Wielding Truth]

10. Yay, that is good.

:toast:

12. I think President Obama sent a strong message with this pick

The message is "don't fuck with us". That's why the GOP is flipping the fuck out. Rahm Emanuel looks like a major asshole, one you don't want to get on the wrong side of. He is very knowledgeable about the WH and the Hill. He will stand up to Obama and tell the truth. He needs folks like that around him. Not ass kissers.

13. Brian Sussman freaked out last night

KSFO dimbulb Sussman said that picking Emanuel was a big 'F U' to the Republicans. Now he's motivated to spread hate throughout Obama's presidency. Nothing like a retard leading the retarded.
