Well, the honeymoon didn't last long.
The Republican National Committee is blasting President-elect Barack Obama;'s choice of Rep. Rahm emanuel as his new White House Chief of Staff.
"OBAMA's BROKEN PROMISE," screams the headline on a statement from the RNC. "After promising change, Obama selects hyper-partisan wedded to special interests as his Whiote House Chief of Staff."
Said RNC spokesman Alex Conant: "Barack Obama's first decision as president-elect undermines his promise to 'heal the divides.' Rahm Emanuel is a partisan leader who played a lead role in breaking Washington. The White House needs a chief of staff, not a chief campaigner like Emanuel. Our nation will be ill-served if Obama runs the White House the way 'Rahmbo' ran the Democratic Congress."
For me what matters is the Nation. I don't care if, under President Obama, the White House is turned into Crack House. What is important, is that the affairs of the Nation are taken care of! What I would advise, is that there be a ban imposed on Monica Lewinsky, for hers would be a disruptive presence!

The duties of the White House Chief of Staff vary greatly from one administration to another. However, he/she is responsible for overseeing the actions of the White House staff, managing the President's schedule, and deciding who is allowed to meet with the President. Because of these duties, the Chief of Staff has at various times been dubbed "The Gatekeeper" and "The co-President"
Rahmbo will run an efficient and effective White House staff, just as he ran an efficient, effective and cost effective Presidential campaign for President Elect Obama.
Bipartisanship will be the President's call.

We'll be lucky if Obama, Reid, Pelosi don't turn this country into a third world country........or another New Orleans. That's what an all Liberal government is likely to do.

To albinard,
Dems should not bring up the Nazi Party. Aren't the Nazi's the ones who killed people for the sake of convenience as well as religion? (Kind of like abortion and the new culture of death, for the young old and invalid.)
