Yeah, right. The hypocrisy. Obama picks a guy to be his chief of staff who knows how DC works and how to get things done.

No doubt, the right would have been satisfied if he picked a complete DC outsider who has no idea how things work in Washington.

But, I hadn’t seen anything on Fox (I guess you are up to date on Fox?) but ABC news is reporting the “entire board was later accused by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) of having “failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention.” after Freddie “misreported profits by billions of dollars in order to deceive investors between the years 2000 and 2002.”

Incompetence by Rahm? Certainly.

Change? Don’t make me laugh. This guy is part of the problem. To make him part of the solution is a joke.

To ignore it, or cover it up as you are trying to do is also part of the problem.

Nothing. You’ve learned nothing, which is why you remain a Republican.

God damn it. You are a fucking retard.

Republicans say, “Elect Obama and America will be attacked! FEAR!!!!” (They actually used this attack against Kerry.)

Biden says, ‘There will be an attack within six month of an Obama victory.’

Can you not see the difference?

One is using fear for political gain, the other is saying something they believe to be true, even if it is politically damaging.

Shut the fuck up, SaveFarris. You don’t know what you are talking about, therefore, your opinions don’t matter.

“But doesn’t the selection of Emmanuel go against what Obama said earlier this year about change when he specifically talked about the “Washington insiders”?”

No. Now shut the fuck up, Jay. You too don’t know what you are talking about, therefore, your opinions also don’t matter.

You should have figured that out after the Harding debacle. You should have figured that out after Hoover, and Nixon. For the love of God, please figure it out after W leaves office.

See what I learned in the last 8 years?

Jay’s a bit of a slow learner.

The analogue would be Karl Rove as Chief of Staff instead of Andrew Card. With this and the Biden pick, Obama is now 0 for 2.

By that logic, McSenile never even got in the on-deck circle. And Putsch has been hitting them out of the park – for the other team.

You clowns weren’t too big on logic and facts and stuff when you were driving the bus. Now it’s twice as sad. But quite funny…

So much for pathos!

But, SpiderJ, don’t'cha know that breaking promises he didn’t make is all Obama does? Like that promise he didn’t make about public financing which he went and broke anyway?

He has now made one appointment and you’re whining about broken promises.

Thank God Obama rushed this Bill Clinton Cronie into the White House.

Change, you should have counted on!!

Actually, my comment is ABOUT THE HYPOCRISY!!!!

See what I learned in the last 8 years?

Emmanuel has been part of the DC culture for nearly 25 years. This isn’t to say that he wasn’t a good choice by Obama, but this is just another example of action going against the rhetoric.

Insert obligatory, “Well what about ___________” now. Sorry fellas. It’s your turn to be on defense.

Little history too people: Mack McClarty was Clinton’s first Chief of Staff.

Good luck getting her prepped for 2012. Surely by that time she’ll have some sense of who signed NAFTA, what the Vice President’s job is, and what magazines she reads.
