2. K&R.

[robo50]

3. I'm with you! He's a disaster.

He has turned Obama into a wuss.

[marylanddem]

8. Yet Obama selected him. Hmmm....

[wial]

81. did he have much choice, politically?

Rahm is high functioning and practical, he's just a non-visionary who takes credit for the work of others. Like his brother. His presence in the White House does mollify a certain paranoid power bloc in Washington, but it's not in America's interest to keep them happy all the time since their fear of the Holocaust being repeated drove them quietly insane a long time ago -- vis the neo-cons, vis Lieberman. Vis Kissinger, repeater of Holocausts in his blinkered zeal to prevent them. Oh what a world it would be were Chomsky to have had Kissinger's power instead.

[dae]

131. Your first sentence...truer never written.

Maybe one day we can swap stories.:toast:

[babylonsister]

[rpannier]

138. Me

I can use a job like that with the pay and perks

You never said plausible ideas

[pundaint]

141. Grayson

[BonnieJW]

153. Grayson would tell O the truth

and we can't have that.

[dkf]

5. He was hired to sheperd legislation through congress.

What a mess he has created. We should have known from his tangling with Howard Dean that he doesn't know what he is doing.

[invictus]

24. +1

[WhiteTara]

51. oh to the contrary

he knows exactly what he is doing. He is a republican with Democratic titles.

[defendandprotect]

102. Exactly . . . Rahm has accomplished what he set out to do . . .

destroy the Democratic Party to keep it from being used in any positive way

for progressive and liberal causes -- least of all for any real investigation

of what has been going on -- and to PREVENT CHANGE!!

[Hell Hath No Fury]

53. Uh --

you don't know Rahm very well, do you?

He is doing exactly what he was hired to do.

[The Green Manalishi]

151. If he were on the Republican payroll

could he have done any better for them?

[BanzaiBonnie]

6. And get his brother out of there too

10. Rahm DLC Rahm DLC Rahm DLC, ah enough aleady. Broken records.

[jgraz]

16. And yet, he still has a job

So, apparently, not enough already.

[Hello_Kitty]

27. You'll hear it until the truth sinks in. eom

[Individualist]

33. and then some.

:thumbsup:

[Ken Burch]

111. IT's repeated because it's the truth.

Rahm has never been on the side of the people. He's a man of the suits and the suites.

[LiberalEsto]

11. Amen!

But it'll never happen.

[peace frog]

12. Go tell it on the mountain

then drive on back to the valley, cuz Rahm ain't going nowhere.

K&R nevertheless.

[Tesha]

22. He can be replaced now or he can leave with the rest of the Obama administration in 2013.

Which would you prefer?

Tesha

[peace frog]

38. Doesn't matter what I or you or any-damn-body prefer

Rahm will not be asked to leave the Obama administration.

[Tesha]

42. Then expect to lose in 2010 and 2012. (NT)

[peace frog]

43. You know best, I'm sure

I bow to your superior prognostication.

[Tesha]

45. You ought to; I've been right about many recent elections.

(More than the Democratic Loosership Council has been.)

Tesha

[peace frog]

48. Feels so damn good to be right, doesn't it

but I believe the correct spelling of the term is "Losership". You're welcome.

[Ticonderoga]

149. How can a word that isn't even recognized as a word

have a correct spelling?

[peace frog]

152. Tesha, is that you?

Guess not.

[FiveGoodMen]

49. I know that's what I'm expecting.

[howaboutme]

60. Do they care?

What is most important to our politicians? Is it how well the USA does, or how fucking well their little special interest lobbies do? When Americans say we want all lobbies shut down and especially those that operate and control our elected officials is when this just might end. We are seeing movement in that direction. But we need public financing of elections to speed it up. Never ever shut down your aggressive criticism of the status quo thinking that some may disapprove.

[emsimon33]

69. Then we lose big in 2010 and 2012

a blood bath...the highest loses in election history

[LWolf]

[mod mom]

13. Rahm, the former INVESTMENT BANKER is a major part of the PROBLEM! FIRE HIM!

[Yurovsky]

121. I wonder ...

how much he "earned" as an investment banker??? Sad to say it but you don't get into the inner sanctums of power without serious $$$, regardless of how you "earned" (read:stole) it.

And that "moderate" outreach/expansion in recruiting new house members in 2006/2008? How's that working out for us???

Yeah, R.E. needs to pack his crap and get back to the Windy City... NOW.

[BP2]

14. Whoa! That's not the party line. We're suppose to point fingers at Martha, and reward those who

helped hand us this defeat.

You're not playing the game at all well.

[Hello_Kitty]

29. And at the dirty hippies on the internet too. eom

[tango-tee]

15. K&R

No comment necessary.

[tekisui]

17. Fire Tim Kaine, too!

[Tesha]

23. If Kaine had any honor, he'd resign. (NT)

[emsimon33]

70. We need Dean back or we will continue to lose and lose BIG

20. All of the Emmanuels.

Summers. Geitner.

And dump Kaine at the DNC while we're at it.

[Jakes Progress]

26. That would be a good start. nt

[Skidmore]

28. I e-mailed the WH a little while ago

and asked that this be done. Rahm, Zeke, and Geithner. Make them go.

[Hello_Kitty]

30. Larry Summers too. eom

[Ignis]

31. Tar & Feathers might send a stronger message. (nt)

[kjackson227]

32. Yep... ~Sigh~

[Captain Hilts]

[bvar22]

37. Fire the ENTIRE DLC White House "New Team"

The DLC New Team
Working Class Democrats Need NOT Apply

(Screen Capped from the DLC Website)

I would make an exception for Hillary.
She appears to be doing a good job as long as she stops pushing "Free Trade".


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone

[Jennicut]

40. I really only have an issue with Rahm and Summers.

Is Napolitano DLC?

[glinda]

39. yes. he is a failure.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

41. And Geithner. And Somers. And McCrystal.

[Major Hogwash]

44. No, just replace him, and "let" the GOP think he is still running things.

Sort of how Bush was still let in to the White House when Cheney was running things.

[Hubert Flottz]

56. Stone the bastid!

[howaboutme]

57. Couldn't agree more

Rahm Emanuel has always had one foot catering to Wall Street and the other catering to others with interests outside the USA. That is not good news for either Obama or for those of us who are American citizens looking for major and honest change. Rahm was Obamas's first big mistake. The next was the appointment of a tax cheat and Federal Reserve lackey - Geithner.

[Geek_Girl]

58. Amen

63. The end of an error.

[MrMickeysMom]

64. Please don't stop there...

How about Lawrence Summers and Timmy Gitner?

While they're at it, Robert Rubin, too.

[kohodog]

66. PLEASE!!! Use the wayback machine and fire him one year ago today.

And take Axelrod with him.

[arthritisR_US]

72. don't stop there, add to that Geithner (sp?). n/t

[vssmith]

87. A few other too

I knew this admin was not going to be one I would like the minute Obama began picking his cabinet and advisers. Rahm, Geithner, Summers etc. And no names like Bill Bradley, Krugman, Stiglitz, Galbraith, Brooksley Born, Elizabeth Warren or Howard Dean. Shame shame shame.

[arthritisR_US]

89. wow, your list of who should have been in his cabinet pretty much

matches my own! :fistbump:

[begin_within]

74. He may be have to be carried out of there kicking and screaming.

That type doesn't go quietly.

harmful or misleading products to the town folk ?

Oh, K & R Dude(t) :)

[billymayshere]

88. Big K&R!

This rotten SOB needs to go! He threw us overboard a long time ago. I wish Obama had made a better choice. Does it really make a difference though? You know he will just put another "new democrat" type in there.

[pjt7]

91. If Obama fires Rahm & Geithner

& replacec them with competent people who are intresetd in restoring fairness to the citizens of this Country.. I re-support Obama & make sure he get's re-elected.

[defendandprotect]

98. We should have made more NOISE when Obama began assembling this corporatist team!!

and when Obama eloped into the White House with Rahm--!!

[LWolf]

100. Some of us did, and were drowned out by the

"he hasn't even been inaugurated yet, wait and see" crowd.

[defendandprotect]

101. We should have made more NOISE when Obama took on this corporate team!!!

And especially when he eloped into the White House with Rahm!!

93. If I have a wish in one hand and shit in the other, guess which one will fill up quicker?

Rahm's not going anywhere. He'll gnaw off another finger to keep from being pulled away from his position. And Obama will just go along. The guy's Rasputin. And my party has a sac the size of a raisin.

[Ken Burch]

113. Remember what happened to the regime that wouldn't get rid of Rasputin:

That's the bottom line.

109. I Agree With The Above

That said replace Rahm with Howard Dean. Replace Geithner and Summers with Max Keiser and Dylan Rattigan, and Sibelius with Nader. Then we'd really see the big issues (War, Bankers and Health Care) fixed for real.

124. Yea, yea

I'll check in with you in 6 months. I fully expect Rahm to still be there.

I applaud you conviction, and if you want to hold some sort of protest, I'll be there, but...

I really don't think Obama is going to have to unconsciously flex his pinky finger more then twice to ignore it, no fight involved.
