Speaking John Fund Tuesday 2 March re the last days of Rahm Emanuel. The small mystery at the White House media center is why Rahm Emanuel has launched a flimsy self-promoting campaign for himself by calling up pet Washington journalists and boasting pf his successes. The other small mystery is why Emanuel is still the chief of staff after the catastrophe of healthcare. Watching a train wreck is fun. But this is such a slow-mo wreck that there needs to be a subplot.

The MSM knows who butters their bread, if they want juicy news bits they gotta play nice. Obama is their guy, too big to fail, in their eyes.
WHCOS is a very powerful position, especially in the hands of such an A+ personality. I suspect many at 1600 fear Mr. Emanuel.
Rahm will leave when he detracts more to 1600 and POTUS than he adds. Everyone knows they serve at the Pleasure of the President.
Rahm is from Chicago. The Chicago Democratic Party has two wings, the gangsters (the daley's) and the commies (the ayres'). He knows where bodies are buried.
My reaction to the WaPo story was out of the old testament:
Oh, yeah, by the way they are talking about "The handwriting on the wall." Nasty little detail there. The showing of hard sentences may be hard to replace for a President who's grades we've never seen and who mispronounces more words than George Bush (quite an accomplishment).
From the Post piece:
So, he knows where the bodies are buried, he's the house geographer, fluent in the "language" of politics, including ancient codes and ciphers. He served also "the father" i.e. Amarica's first black Presdent, Bill Clinton.A better modern day "type" for Daniel couldn't be found. True to his faith all the while serving the pagans while directing them into a future they had no understanding of.
There is no story here. The White Houses itself is in total sync – as is the opposition (the American people). Bottom line: Obama and his crew of clones have been unable to sell the agenda to the American public. They will continue to blame this one and that one – most notably anyone (excepting Obama) charged with getting the message out. They have yet to realize that the message itself is poison; that it’s not a matter of presentation or spin. It’s not even a matter of too little arm-twisting, knee-capping, pay-offs; insufficient bribes, hollow threats and the like. ‘Obama care’, along with a whole host of Obama proposals, is dead in the water because Americans simply do not want them. Period; end of story.
Americans have already decided they will only go so far. They will spend less and save more. They will buckle their seatbelts. They will demand that their children wear helmets when out riding bikes. They will try to stop smoking. They will make an effort to eat healthy. They will be less quick to judge others. They will clean up after their dogs. Etc. But they will not to consent to allow government – any government – to use them as patsies; to steal their freedoms, their inalienable rights, their liberties, their future – all, in the name of some hackneyed notion of ‘social justice’.
As far as the American people are concerned, Obama has already failed. They are resigned to wait this one out till the next act when they will make the make the change; without malice and in orderly fashion as set forth by Constitution. Until then, they will pay close attention to which of their representatives does what and how. They will know whom to vote for; who will represent their best interests. They will organize. And when the time comes they will choose decisively. They will never again fall for media hype; for good-looking, affirmative action types, for empty suits. This time they will look for such time-tested qualities as character, honesty and resume. Until then, they will sit on their hands and do what they can to bleed this administration of its ability to boast of accomplishment.
The underlying fear that Barack Hussein Obama’s vision for America engenders is that Americans will be subjected to a (albeit, benign) tyranny. They do not doubt that the tyranny that Obama’s clones envision is heartfelt; that their motive is the same as that of the Christian Crusaders (1200-1300 AD): to spread the saving grace of Christ throughout the heathen world. Obama and his minions too think that Communism will save America, the human race and ultimately the planet. They cannot understand why we would resist it.
We resist because it is un-American. And we are Americans, after all. We can think for ourselves. We know how to provide for our families. We can build and maintain a nation that towers head and shoulders above all others. We do not subscribe to a hell with only a single ring of ‘victims’. We do not need to be told how to spend every single moment of our lives. We do not need to be told what to think – even if it were someone’s notion of ‘our own good’.
A quote by C. S. Lewis comes to mind in this regard: "Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good… torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
