They have an agenda and they spin.

2. They are in very different places, with different perspectives and different goals.
Truth is, you shouldn't be just taking anyone's word for it one way or another.

But Rahm, being part of the White House, sees things from his non-insider point of view. He may be getting different answers from people than Harkin is. He may have different expectations than Harkin does. And his comments might have a different goal in mind than what Harkin does when he makes his statement (for instance, Rahm might be saying it to ramp up pressure - in fact, that's a likely answer; Harkin might be trying to ease some pressure).
