While I certainly don’t share the dominant point of view in the progressive blogosphere that everything negative in the Obama administration is the work of Rahm Emanuel, I can note that it is less than helpful for the President’s chief of staff to be speaking at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce right when the Chamber is doing their damndest to throw a monkey wrench into the President’s agenda. This news of course comes down right as the President is focusing on small business – the actual business of small business and not the climate change denial and basic rejection of reality that the Chamber embraces.
