PHOTOS - Bad Ass Chief of Staff - Rahm Tells the GOP to Make Joe Wilson Apologize - Sept 2009

[PopSixSquish]

Now I know that Rahm isn't popular on this forum but I think this might have been the highlight of his career in the Obama White House.







He's fucking pissed and I think the GOP congressmen might have learned a few new words that night...

1. Don't mess with him

He's Chicago guy..

[Gman]

2. THAT is why I love the guy!

He'd just as soon drag 'em outside and beat the shit out of 'em. And they know it.

[Number23]

32. I didn't love him but I damn sure didn't hate him (and truly don't understand anyone who does)

But I knew his name and rep before he took the job and thought that he would be great for the CoS position and I've seen very little that has convinced me otherwise.

:thumbsup: to Rahm and whatever his political future holds for him

[lamp_shade]

3. I love the guy and will miss him terribly. I'm very sad today.

[DoBotherMe]

5. Me too ...

sometimes an ass-kicking is necessary and he looks like he could deliver! Dana ; )

4. Kicked&Recommended!

One of my favorite pics:dem: You tell em Rahm!

Rahm seems to be saying "Don't fuck with the President!"

Oh! I just noticed he was talking to that ASSHOLE Ryan.

WASHINGTON — The White House strengthened its stand against health care coverage for illegal immigrants Friday, and a pivotal Senate committee looked ready to follow its lead.

(...)

The issue has caused heat on talk radio and at congressional town halls, too. So on Friday, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs sketched a new position that goes even further than some conservative critics had demanded: Obama will oppose letting illegal immigrants buy insurance through new purchasing exchanges the government will set up – even from private companies operating within the exchanges.

"Illegal immigrants would not be allowed to access the exchange that is set up," Gibbs said. Verification requirements are "something we'd work out with Congress," he said.

Currently illegal immigrants are barred from government-funded care except in certain emergency cases, but many buy private insurance and there's nothing to prevent them from doing that. That would change under the White House's proposal, which is certain to alarm some on the left.

White House officials contended that the policy didn't represent a change of position for Obama, but it's one he apparently hasn't articulated in the past. In his speech Wednesday, Obama said only that "the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally."

7. Yes, when Rahm used his combative nature to take on Republicans he was at his best

But not when he was attacking people on his own team.

[sadbear]

8. I wish he would have directed his talents to more progressive pursuits

Just imagine if he were progressive.

13. These pictures are hawt!

Love how he's alone in the pit of snakes. Say waht you will about Rahm, he's the kind of guy that you can throw into an alligator pit and come back in a few hours to find him sitting on a pile of luggage.

15. Well Put

:hi:

[katandmoon]

14. Wow! He actually told off a REPUBLICAN instead of Democrats? Yeah, pin a fucking medal on him.

Good riddance to him.

[11 Bravo]

19. He has told off a shitload more Repugs than Dems. Sorry he never scratched ...

your particular itch, but I would share a foxhole with Rahm anytime.

[AtomicKitten]

16. These photos epitomize Rahm Emanuel and illustrate why he was chosen as CoS.

I wish him well in his new endeavor.

[yowzayowzayowza]

"You make that dipshit, cornholing cocksucker apologize to the President, or I'll rip your balls off and shove them down your throat, you graymeat jerkwater bouffant motherfucker!"


Oh, how I wish I could have heard what he actually said! B-)

[NYC Liberal]

24. LOL!

That probably isn't far from it!

[JNelson6563]

33. Perfect!

:toast:

[niceypoo]

22. He isn't talking about Wilson in these photos...

...he's making jokes about 'the libruls'.

[dave29]

23. Shows the difference between our CiC and Rahm...

When Obama dealt with a similar incident (Joe Lieberman bad mouthing him and advocating for McCain during the election) he grabbed Lieberman's hand, would not let go, but walked him to a corner instead of publicly humiliating him.

25. I definitely see the word 'shit' escaping his lips in the last photo

"And you, you piece of shit....!"

I like it!

[Whisp]

26. I know it's unpopular here to like this guy, but I do.

I liked his scrappieness and his lack of nuance. A bulldog barker finger pointing ball of aggression. Good opposite to the cool and diplomatic Obama.

[Arkana]

27. "What was that he called my mother?"

[Starbucks Anarchist]

28. Awesome.

:rofl:

[denimgirly]

29. Would this be the 1st and ONLY time he's gotten angry at the right?

Seems all his anger had gone to kicking and demoralizing the left.
Odd imagery...must be photoshopped or something.

[Whisp]

31. phfffftttt!

whatever.
keep on trying tho, I'm sure you are pulling people to your side by the hundreds with that attitude.

[tomm2thumbs]

30. the GOP is raising Paul Ryan to be their would-be Reagan

but raised by wolves does not make one good President

just another wolf
