Tweety asking if Pete Rouse is the difference maker. Maybe Rahm sucked?

Food for thought.

Rouse has been Chief of Staff since October 1, 2010

1. Interesting point.

[Warpy]

2. Oh, come on Tweety, we all KNOW Rahm sucked

and most of us were clapping and cheering when his ambition got him the hell out of his office in the White House. Not only did things start to get done, but Gibbsie hasn't been shooting from the lip about the mean old liberals now that he doesn't have an adjacent office.

The mean old liberals were right again: an abrasive conservative really wasn't the best person in the world to have as Chief of Staff.

3. Andrea Mitchell has said Biden is the point man, so maybe with Rahm gone

it's more democratic -- Obama, Biden, Rouse? Nice blend of opinions/input.

4. I knew that picking Rahm would be a disaster from day one. He was in it for himself.

[Skink]

5. I want Rahm back if this is the new approach.

6. You want gridlock?

Well you just may get your wish yet. The Republicans won't want to give him any more legislative victories anyway. You just have to hope for their cooperation.

I like what he is doing so I am hoping we see a House and Senate that can get things done.
