Rahm Emanuel: Two Very Different Jobs.
Rahm Emanuel is Barack Obama’s first move as president-elect. Emanual is a no non-sense, help me or get out of the way type of guy. He is a
Chicago politician, who once drove a steak knife into a table, naming each person who he saw as traitors to Bill Clinton. With each plunged he blurted out; dead. Yep, this guy is tough, mean and he has conservatives screaming about how is this move representative of bipartisanship?
The fact is Rahm Emanuel was picked for Cheif of Staff for more than scaring Republicans; he was picked to control the left wing of the Democratic Party. Obama and Emanuel understand that if this administration, which was seen as the candidate of tax cuts, does not jump off the left wing cliff and watch Congress flip back to the GOP. Emanuel lived through this with
Clinton and his job is to ensure it doesn’t happen with Obama.
Having spent the last few years as a member of the House and the main conductor of the 2006 elections, Emanuel will control Nancy Pelosi and her band of lefties, because he must. Emanuel is not a lefty, regardless of his House record. He supported welfare reform and NAFTA, what Emanuel is, is a realist. He understands that being president and running for president are two very different creatures (the Obama agenda has already been removed from the web site). Look for Obama’s first 100 days to be full of tax cuts, economic stimulation package and a continued reverberation of “we are reviewing the situation in
Iraq.”
Sorry liberals, but Barack Obama will be in the same spot Bill Clinton was, smack down the middle of the road, looking for four more years.
