To What End Will Obama/Emanuel Use The Current Crisis?

[MannyGoldstein]

"Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it's an opportunity to do things you couldn't do before."
- Rahm Emanuel

I have no doubt that the Obama/Emanuel Administration is trying to make the most of the current Democratic identity crisis. I just read about http://news.google.com/news/search?aq=f&um=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=social+security+panel+obama">Obama naming a panel to curb Social Security. Any other fun things popping up on the radar today?

3. I think they want to throw Howard Dean under the bus,

but they haven't blamed him for Haiti or Afghanistan yet...hm, if only there were a way...

[jpak]

5. Invade Yemen, Iran, Honduras, torture & carpet bomb babies and privatize Soc. Sec. and Medicare

if what I read here on DU is true...

6. touch SS and there is gonna be a major problem

7. I'm a little concerned about what they're going to do on jobs

Given how strongly they've tended toward supply-side Reaganomics I bet there are some big fucking corporate tax cuts on the way.

8. Being the chess master that he is Rahm will surely use the crisis

but choosing whether that will be to the advantage of anyone but corporations is a quite a gambit.
