“When I first started assembling this administration, I knew we were about to face some of the most difficult years this country has seen in generations. I needed somebody at my side who I could count on to help get the job done,” Obama’s voice is heard as saying.
“There was no candidate for the job of chief of staff who would meet the bill as well as Rahm Emanuel. That’s why I told him that he had no choice in the matter. He was not allowed to say no.
