Emanuel Posting Could Mean War with GOP
Appointing former Clinton political pit bull and Congressional whiz kid Rahm Emanuel as chief of staff makes Republicans nervous.
And he will also appreciate Emanuel’s legendary reputation as a political pit bull. He’s relentless on the attack, piteous when exposing an opponent’s soft underbelly, and he has an all out desire to win.
How will Obama square his soothing words directed at Republicans on election night with this choice of a political assassin as chief of staff? This from a profile in Rolling Stone:
Friends and enemies agree that the key to Emanuel’s success is his legendary intensity. There’s the story about the time he sent a rotting fish to a pollster who had angered him. There’s the story about how his right middle finger was blown off by a Syrian tank when he was in the Israeli army. And there’s the story of how, the night after Clinton was elected, Emanuel was so angry at the president’s enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting “Dead! … Dead! … Dead!” and plunging the knife into the table after every name. “When he was done, the table looked like a lunar landscape,” one campaign veteran recalls. “It was like something out of The Godfather. But that’s Rahm for you.”
Only the second of those stories about Emanuel is a myth; he lost his finger in a meat slicing accident as a boy. But the question remains: what do Republicans think of this selection?
House Minority Leader John Boehner pulls no punches when he says, “”This is an ironic choice for a president-elect who has promised to change Washington, make politics more civil, and govern from the center.”
And the Republican National Committee has lost no time in going on the attack, beginning a list entitled “Obama’s Broken Promises” starting with the “Hyperpartisan Emanuel.”
You could probably write a book using all the stories and myths about Emanuel’s ferociousness, but some who know him best say he has mellowed a bit on the Hill and that he is an excellent choice for Obama’s chief of staff. For all his partisanship, he has successfully worked with Republicans when he was in the Clinton White House, most notably on the North American Free Trade Agreement. One Democrat said of him, “He’s got a deeply held set of views, but he also understands to get things done you have to compromise.”
But then there’s that strange dichotomy — a potential witches’ brew of a personality conflict between Obama and Emanuel. Senior Washington politico David Gergen dismisses any concerns that the two might have trouble working together, saying it could be an advantage for Obama. “They are obviously setting up a good cop/bad cop routine in the White House. … Barack Obama can be the good guy,” Gergen said.
A pragmatic centrist or an insanely partisan political operative? It is possible that before he’s through, Obama may have need of both.

Nov 6, 2008 - 4:11 pm 2. Jeff Tyler:Time will tell.
In the spirit of making predictions, here’s anouther one: MSM will go into a mea culpa mode on McCain and Plain — at least for a week or two (http://drslogan.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/media-mea-culpa-and-other-predictions/)
Nov 6, 2008 - 4:13 pm 3. The Historian:WHO IS PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA?
We have a President-elect but do we have even the remotest idea as to how he will govern:
http://greensrealworld.blogspot.com/2008/11/who-is-president-elect-obama.html
Nov 6, 2008 - 4:21 pm 4. LeighB:I am hearing nothing about a role for Hillary Clinton…anyone? Anyone?
Nov 6, 2008 - 4:40 pm 5. Stot:Leave this alone until something happens. Give Obama the benefit of the doubt for now.
Deal with what IS happening in places like Buscombe County where Malkin has a vid of a teacher basically browbeating a young student who supported McCain. The poor little kid was near tears. If Palin or McCain had a common touch (they don’t which is one reason they lost), they’d call the kid and thank her. Invite HER to D.C.
The school doubtless won’t be bothered to knock the teacher back to square one, so it wouldn’t kill you to stop worrying about Emanuel (oh I know, its so important to worry) and do something for this kid. Maybe email the school wondering what on earth they have as an educational philosophy. Ooops–I forgot: this is a blog for people that want to comiserate with like thinkers or lambaste some liberal who stumbled on the site. Not really do anything. No wonder McCain lost.
Nov 6, 2008 - 5:00 pm 6. Jeff:Rahm is the most intelligent person on the Hill when it comes to politics. He singlehandedly saved the Clinton presidency, and he carved up the Republicans in 2006. His only equal in the last years would be Newt Gingrich. Emmanuel ate Hastert for lunch. He chewed up the likes of Lott, McConnell and the other supposed conservatives that are marinating in the Senate.
I think in this case there are a number of reasons why Obama went to him. Axelrod and Rahm are friends. Obama can trust him. Rahm is connected to Daley, and the Chicago power brokers. Chicago pols are not idealistic-they are pragmatic. Emmanuel is there to balance the red meat liberal agenda of Pelosi and the House, against what really can be done to ensure an Obama re-election. Emmanuel would have been a far better Speaker than Pelosi can ever hope to be. As a conservative, I wish he was there. Pelosi is an idiot. Emmanuel is more center than either Obama or Pelosi, and has a network that he can call on to get things done. I see him as a Rostenkowski type Democrat. Rosty worked with Reagan in 1982, and I think that Rahm knows he needs to reach across the aisle to get stuff done-rather than ram it down the nations throat. The nation is center right-not center left. They get too bold and it’s curtains for the Dem majority in 2010.
Rahm knows what is at stake-they have a chance for an FDR reformation if they temper their agenda. Government intervention sneaks up on you. If they bite a huge bite of the apple, they will wind up spitting it out.
Tomorrow’s economic conference might have his stamp on it. If I were Obama, I would say, “The economy is in rough shape. We are getting briefed and up to speed on everything. We are putting all tax increases on hold until we learn more, and we think the economy is out of danger.”
Market would roar higher.
Nov 6, 2008 - 5:01 pm 7. Lifeofthemind:Obama is the hireling of Daley, although the younger Daley is himself not the independent force his father was. If the University of Chicago’s Departments of Anthropology and Sociology were not busy selling the reputations they inherited off in campaigns to promote this nonentity and tear down the memory of Milton Freidman then they could do the world some good explicating the links between psychopathic Marxists such as Ayers and Dohrn, the rentier children of Industrial Age plutocrats such as Pritzker and Crown (and Ayers again, he is a twofer) and religious profiteers from the poverty pimp and bigotry industries such as Pflegler and Wright and Jackson, corrupt representatives of foreign money and immigrant muscle, such as Rezco and unscrupulous but ambitious Ward heelers such as Blagojevich and Emanuel, in keeping the Cook County Democratic Party machine rolling.
Nov 6, 2008 - 5:02 pm 8. Lisa:Barack “99 Problems But a B**** Ain’t One” Obama’s first action?
To name Rahm “They’ll go back to their knitting” Emmanuel and Larry “Girls can’t do hard math” Summers as important people in his White House.
Nov 6, 2008 - 5:24 pm 9. cedarhill:Fighting for anything except more spending would be refreshing change even only after they have a boot on their neck.
Nov 6, 2008 - 5:59 pm 10. David:GO RAHMBO GO!!
Nov 6, 2008 - 6:46 pm 11. fred:#6 Jeff,
Pretty astute analysis of Mr. Emanuel, except that I disagree with you on one point. I think this is now a center-Left nation, not a center-Right nation. I used to be an academic Marxist years ago and I know how THOROUGHLY the socialists have penetrated and own the educational system and media in this country. Most of these kids coming out of HS and college are very well indoctrinated in the Soft-Left and many, in college flirt with or go over to the Hard Left.
Obama will govern from the Left, not the center. Do not underestimate Nancy Pelosi, who really is the most powerful person in Washington, despite her incompetence. And since Obama used to be a member of The New Party, an offshoot of the Democratic Socialists of America, he has more in common with Nancy Pelosi than you think. She too at one time belonged to the Democratic Socialists of America and had to give up her membership to become House Minority Leader.
Nov 6, 2008 - 7:30 pm 12. syn:Since Emanuel is a hard-core pro-Israel supporter does this mean that the next President of the US will be under control of the Zionists running the white house and the world?
Wasn’t “Neo-con Zionists running the White House” the main reason why the Progressive Left and their Buchananite allies Hated President George W Bush?
Gee, how does the Progressive Left-Buchananite feel about the next President of the US being like the outgoing President of the US?
Nov 6, 2008 - 7:34 pm 13. syn:“Chicago pols are not idealistic-they are pragmatic.”
What did Malone say about Chicago…”stinks like a whorehouse in low tide”
One of my favorite movies.
Nov 6, 2008 - 7:37 pm 14. Horace Wells:O need to find some consenus building moderate like Karl Rove!
Nov 6, 2008 - 7:59 pm 15. Someone75:Sounds like he’s the Karl Rove of the left.
Nov 6, 2008 - 8:06 pm 16. Juvenal:#12 Fred: I’m afraid you’re right. By the way, how does one “used to be” an academic Marxist? I always figured that was like la Cosa Nostra: A club you can never leave alive.
At any rate, how do we know that Emanuel is hard-core pro-Israel? I didn’t even know he was Jewish until yesterday, and quite frankly, someone who is strongly pro-Israel doesn’t really fit in with Obama’s key supporters, to put it very politely.
Nov 6, 2008 - 8:11 pm 17. P. Ami:The great flaw in the 24-hour news media, the one I think that metastasized into that which currently fawns over our new President-elect, is that their existence requires some sort of news that will draw eyes for 24 hours a day. While the blogosphere has a refreshing side to it, a grassroots appeal, it suffers from the same problem that CNN does, successful bloggers tend to need to push one opinion or another nearly every day. Few bloggers have the inside, the insight, the whit or the talent to make for interesting blogs when there is not much to report. Notice Yon only posts every so often? Notice the great talent and wide interests of Steyn? They don’t need to construct an opinion from stray ideas. The same cannot be said for many of the other bloggers. Hell, same goes for most of us commentators.
The election is over. Obama is now putting his team together. I personally like the pro-Israel stance of his first hire. I’ve seen centrist tendencies from Emmanuel. I have also heard that some Republicans are being considered for jobs in Obama’s cabinet. I could care less if there is a D or an R in front of a politician’s name. I simply want politicians who will work to strengthen the US, build up our economic possibilities, and who will work with allies while working to undermine our enemies with negotiations most often and destruction when required. Emmanuel seems to be that sort of person and to be frank I’m not so impressed with the Republican Party these days. It was the mostly failed policies of our current President and an arrogant, unconservative Congress that shoved all kinds of spending down the throat of the tax payers. When Congress was controlled by Republicans they too did nothing to fix the coming economic crisis. We all saw it coming for years and did nothing. If not for the profound respect for and opportunity given to the military I would have nothing good to say about the President. One could criticize the President for the condition of Veteran’s medical treatment and a stubborn adherence to Rumsfeld’s occupation strategy, so even on that end the President has been far from perfect. He proved himself incompetent more often then not. His heart may have been in the right place but I could care less at this point. I would prefer a President with bad intentions who is so incompetent that he succeeds then in having a well intended president too incompetent to explain to US citizens why it is we are right to fight our wars. Obama may yet stink worse then the fish Emmanuel sent the pollster but as of right now he seems to have made a good decision. Our fears that Obama would turn America’s back to Israel have now been shown to be, perhaps, a little overstated. Next step, lets see who winds up in the Treasury seat. Lets see what the man does when he takes the Oval Office. I will thank G-d if we have all been wrong about this man and find he is the leader we need. I voted for McCain and was hopeful that Palin would put him over top. McCain handled the credit crisis poorly. He handled the Palin attacks poorly. He couldn’t properly hammer Obama because he himself wasn’t that different from Obama, at least in policy ideas, and voted for the bailout. I voted for McCain but now I figure the real Obama will reveal himself. Lets see, we might all have been wrong about him. he just might be the right sort of opportunist. One who steers the country along the golden mean, the unwobbly pivot, the razor’s edge. That would be what we need.
Nov 6, 2008 - 8:42 pm 18. Judy, NYC:gee syn: “Neo-con Zionists running the white house”…i sure hope so, towel head lover.
Nov 6, 2008 - 9:14 pm 19. NYLiberal:No, it’s OK. Emanuel and Obama have long worked for the same pimps in the Chicago political/gangster organization. As Chief of Staff, when Ayers, Wright or some other anti-American in Chicago wants to issue orders to Obama, they’ll call Emanuel and he’ll pass them along to Obama, giving Obama deniability.
Nov 6, 2008 - 9:39 pm 20. SeanLA:There is also the issue of drugs. They can be delivered from Chicago to Emanuel’s organization/contacts and moved to Obama and Michelle much more covertly with a trusted operator like Emanuel who already knows what a lazy and corrupt guy Obama is but can deal with it.
the republican party needs someone like Emanuel. Someone who wants to go to the fight. If they can’t or won’t go to the fight, then there needs to be a third party who will go to the fight. Period.
I’m a september twelver, I’ll admit it, I followed Dennis Miller to the republican party.
And I have been very disappointed with its surrenderpendence. McCain conceded not five minutes after they called California. Weak, surrenderpendence.
the show `generation kill’ I hated, but the very last line of the very last show was great: In this country you have the right to say anything you want, and I have the right to bust you in the f***ing mouth if you disagree.
we need people with that attitude, or we need a new party.
`Good People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf’
-Orwell
I want the party that will put rough men to use for that peaceful sleep in the USA. Emanuel is not it for me.
Nov 6, 2008 - 11:28 pm 21. Ken Besig:In a very short time, no one will be worried about whether or not the White House COS is impossible to work with or not. The Russians, the North Koreans, and all the more so the Iranians, are going to give Obama military and security problems that not only is he congenitally and politically not able to deal with, his dithering and glibness will make them catastrophic. This is of course while he us busy burying the American economy with his tax and spend socialist handouts, not only worsening the plight of the poor and those “left behind” but actually creating a huge and new class of impoverished and jobless Americans who were once called the “Middle Class.”
Nov 7, 2008 - 3:57 am 22. Marc Malone:Rahm was selected not to fight with the feckless Pubs, but rather, to do battle with Congress. He will be Obama’s enforcer. He’s an honest politician: He stays bought. He will kneecap people in his own party, because machine politicians are not about the party or its agenda. They are true to the power structure and the specific individual(s) in that structure.
Nov 7, 2008 - 4:58 am 23. cfbleachers:I like this appointment, to a degree. Rahm is a passionate guy, there is no doubt. Occasionally, he morphs into Michael Corleone.
But, if we kneejerk every response to every move made by President-elect Obama, we mirror the very weak and lame posture of the folks who did the same to President Bush, (for 8 years), President Reagan, …virtually every Republican in the last 40 years.
I know some folks are spoiling for a fight and I understand the sentiment of wanting to bring it to them. But emulating the flaws and indignity of base behavior by leftists is simply not wise, not strategic or tactical, not effective (we don’t have an entrenched media in our pocket), and not honorable.
Pick the battles and argue them soundly, calmly, rationally and forcefully. Take the moral high ground and don’t surrender it.
Rahm Emmanuel has flaws, I won’t whitewash them. He can be strident and volatile. He can be intractable and unwilling to listen to another viewpoint. But he is more in line with Joe Lieberman than he is with Nancy Pelosi.
He is a brilliant tactician and he will not bend to the political whims of his own side, if they cross his line of principles. True, he is fairly typical of his party on social issues, but not on other issues.
His association with Freddie Mac is the only issue where he might duck or dodge, otherwise, what you see is what you get. And he is not soft on terrorism, he is not an apologist by nature of bad ideas or bad strategies. Honestly, if he remains true to form…the folks who will have the biggest headache with Rahm won’t be the Republicans. Trust me on this.
He is not a yes man. (this…unlike the fawning media and brain dead apologists who have surrounded the campaign, is good for President-elect Obama. He NEEDS to have someone who will tell him when an idea is imbecilic or a non-starter)
He is a tough opponent, to be sure…but, this is not one where we need to pick a battle. He will give them indigestion more effectively than the minority house can…certainly more often. If he sticks to his principles…he will pull the party toward the center on a ton of issues. This is a good thing.
I like this pick for everyone…Obama gets a real voice in his ear, the leftists get indigestion and America gets someone who is not prissy on security and defense issues.
Nov 7, 2008 - 5:13 am 24. Ross:I agree with Marc. The Republicans have been the Democrats jailhouse bitches for years now. Obama is not worried about them. He needs someone to help him break all the promises he made to Democrats while he was running.
If the Republicans were not pathetic they would have won this election. Just look at Congress’ approval ratings if you disagree. I don’t blame me friends who voted for the democrats this time. The republicans in Congress have not given them anything to vote for.
Nov 7, 2008 - 5:15 am 25. Ursa Major:I hope Jeff (Post #6) is right. We’ll learn this afternoon–maybe.
Nov 7, 2008 - 7:04 am 26. AJ:Classic Republican response. Prepare for “war” with the new chief of staff. It’s all doom, gloom, fear and conflict preparation on the Right.
Nov 7, 2008 - 7:49 am 27. AnninCA:AJ…..after watching the left-wing of the Democrats smear Palin with “Trig isn’t really her baby” stories and Hillary with nutcrackers for sale in airports, you really have NO room to talk.
Nov 7, 2008 - 8:15 am 28. AnninCA:I couldn’t care less, personally, about the insider politics and think this focus on who is his chief of staff is a distraction, nothing more.
Nov 7, 2008 - 8:31 am 29. morbshock:Rahm sounds like your typical violent left wing idiot. It always appears that the left are the first to condemn, complain,throw punches,or become insanely violent towards the right wingers with regards to anything. That’s just the type of the razor tipped left wing iceberg which really irritates me to no end. We all know if a right wing conservative politician acted liked Rahm and the other disorderly left, they would be forced out of their position with ridicule and slander.
Nov 7, 2008 - 10:02 am 30. Daily Pundit » Please Stop Pushing This Ridiculous Notion:I hate to say this but I think if things don’t work out with this new radical mentally disturbed administration, there will a revolution of sorts taking place in our country. Or, I can just be over reacting to this situation.

Nov 7, 2008 - 1:50 pm 33. Someone75:Marc Malone:
Man, I just couldn’t stay away. I enjoyed your comment about Emanuel being “bought”, but I’m wondering why you even bothered to point this out? It’s as if EVERY member of congress wasn’t operating under the thumb of special interests. Ted Stevens is a great example, but there are so many more.
Nov 7, 2008 - 2:24 pm 34. Barrett:cfbleachers, I hope you are right, but I don’t think so. Emanuel is there to bury the Republicans for as long as possible.
Obama is a narcissist and maybe a malignant narcissist – time will tell.
It’s time to recognize that the time for playing the game on the turf and terms of the liberals is over. RINOs are extinct.
McCain, like Bush, is not a conservative. He has been inconsistent or simply wrong in many policy debates. The only reason he got the support he did was because Obama is Marxist and views the government as central to all things.
Palin, who was not fully prepared for the national stage with a press corp just looking for ways to kill her, was a breath of fresh air simply because she has her values in order. She was also mishandled by McCain’s staff. Don’t blame her. She is a good person who made the case against Obama better than McCain did.
While McCain is a good man and a true patriot, he was not a conservative Republican.
In fact, there were few differences between McCain and Obama. Both are on the ridiculous global warming train. Both are wrong on illegal immigration. Both are wrong on taxes, even though McCain tried to flip-flop at the end. I could go on. Why else did he not go after Obama? He was right on the surge and foreign affairs. Given there have been no attacks on US soil, many underweighted the threat.
Again, conservatives have to stop trying to play the game as defined by the liberals. Be what you are, be consistent, throw the corrupt out of the party, make the case of why the liberals are wrong.
If you think Emanuel is going to be bi-partisan, you are nuts. He is going to try to eliminate conservatives from competing as long as he can.
The gloves are off. If you don’t recognize that, you will not find your way forward from here.
Nov 7, 2008 - 6:32 pm 35. joe:What else would it mean? The Marxist, Curious Barry, is going to impose fascism. Who better to impose it on a naive nation? Remember Hitler had Eichmann to implement his vision of the final solution and the future.
Nov 7, 2008 - 8:35 pm 36. schnargley:One of Rep. Rahm’s first duties is to help with the selction of a family dog for the Obamas that will reflect their vision for Change for America and the world. We have the exclusive.
Nov 8, 2008 - 12:13 am 37. BMoon:It is no comfort that Rep. Rahm is “pro-Israel.” Both he and Obama are true “transitional figures’ in the sense that America itself has shifted from holding absolute universal avlues and truth to relativism. They do not operate on principles but on “getting the job done,” whatever that may be defined as. Theses types are not even definable enough to be classified as “pro-Israel” or “pro-Muslim.” They are pro-Obama. They think automaticallly in terms of moral equivalence and pure pragmatism with no anchors or guiding overarching truth or principle. They are also statists – they believe the power of the state is supreme answer to mankind’s troubles.
Let us pray.
Nov 8, 2008 - 12:21 am 38. JAIL BUSH:obama won’t be worth anything unless he holds nuremberg trials for the hired killers and thieves that defrauded their way into the “government” perpetrated 9/11 (www.911truth.org) and made their exit with a 700 billion theft from the taxpayers. we will have no credibility until those scumbags are behind bars awaiting their execution.

Nov 8, 2008 - 7:19 pm 40. Scott:Rahm Emmanuel..yes,there were Jews in the Third Reich who would sell their own people to the Gestapo for a few more minutes of life…
Nov 9, 2008 - 9:58 pm 41. Rachel Peepers:My knee jerk reaction was to say that Scott was being too hard on, oh, my bad, he was talking about Rahm Emmanuel. I know Rahm.
He’s the kind of guy who wouldn’t fight to defend America if it were attacked even if his mother’s life was at stake.
He, my friends, is the Gestapo arm of the Barack Social Progressive Bunch. Scratch him and you don’t hit skin, you hit shirt, color brown. He’s the iron cross, the iron fist. The hatchet man. The enforcer. Not good. That’s not what we stand for. And Barack said he wanted to bring us together. Not with a guy like Emmanuel. No way.
Separately, I’d like to change subjects and say a few words about someone who I think is a great American, Mark Ames, world renown author who’s been writing about how much fun it was election night watching the weak kneed warriors at Fox sqirm when the brown eyed handsome man was collecting electoral votes at a hope-shattering rate.
The Fox boys started to play nice and put on their congratulatory hats while the rest of the conservative unwashed like myself got mad as the hatter (or is it hadder?).
Well, I submit to you that it’s only a matter of time until Barack’s grandiose speeches start ringing as hallow as the area between Sheri Shepard’s (of the View) ears. That’s worth getting mad about.
Only a matter of time until the impossibility of Obama’s campaign promises blow up in his face like a school boy playing with M-80’s on the fourth of July.
The worm will turn, and the only squirming that’ll be done will be Barack yearning for the days he was sipping chardonnay at Bill Ayers house of terrors.
Just down the easy street, coincidentally, is the house convicted criminal,and Barack confidant, Tony Rezko, sold Barack for hundreds of thousands under the market price.
However, it’s not the one that will come crashing down a few years down the road.
That one will be the house of cards that got Obama elected. The pack of lies that will one day be his downfall. “I never heard in 20 years Jeramy Wright make hate filled speeches. I didn’t know Ayers bombed buildings. I didn’t get a sweetheart deal from criminal Tony Rezko. I didn’t say Pennsylvanians were racist. I didn’t say I’d dismantle our hi-tech military and cut its defense capability by 25%. And never use nuclear weapons”. Lies. Lies. Lies. Made almost as famous by the music group, the Knickerbockers as Barack used them to make himself famous.
Michelle, the girl with a frown that’s wider than a mile made no mistake when she took early measurements of the new violet White House draps she’s readying for January 4.
But many American people, on election day, greatly miscalculated the measure of their man.
As the days pass, his hair will get grayer and his skin colder as the Barack guided tax and spend economy sinks faster than the Lusitania, May 7, 1915.
Democrats elected a man with a thin resume. An anorexic foreign and domestic policy.
Barack Obama is a collosal, lalapalooza of a mistake.
A man President Joe Biden said “should be rejected because the nation doesn’t have time for someone, though clean and articulate, that needs, weeks, months, maybe years, of on the job training”. Biden said “in the first three months of his administration, Barack’ll be tested, and he’s bound to make the kind of crucial mistakes John McCain would not”.
Futhermore, Biden pointed out that “mistakes from within are what economically could bring this country to its knees”. We can’t let that happen.
These are the exact words of Joe Biden, a man of inestimable experience talking about the dangers of electing the inexperienced.
Unfortunately, now is post election, the genee is out of the lamp. We squirm naturally because we are stuck with a man even Joe Biden recently went on the record for America admitting is light years from being up to the task.
Joe Biden has spoken. Now Republicans and Democrats alike must come together as one, and need to heed those warnings.
When Obama tries to stuff the court with reckless anti-constructionist supremes, we must join our voices with Joe and say no.
When Obama tries to put through taxes that will break the back of this running on fumes economy, we must join with Joe and say no.
When Obama tries to kill off shore drilling and nuclear power development, we must go with Joe and say no.
When Obama tries to emasulate our military who protect us from attack, we must go with Joe and say no.
The election of Barack Obama was a horrible mistake, but one that in time, can be rectified.
We are no longer red America or blue America but one America, albeit in a very precarious position in history. We elected the wrong President. If the mainstream media covers up his mistakes, we must unearth them. And make things right.
For a strong America is an energy independent America. A strong America is a military with an operational missile defense shield. A strong American is an America with a strong economy.
If Obama refuses to lead us down the road to success, and if his inexperience starts to run us into a ditch, we must retake the wheel as fast as we can, and chart our own course. If you’re not up to leading us Mr. President, as Joe Biden fears, then you must follow us and Joe, or get out of the way.
The white flag of surrender is not our flag. Ours is the stars and stripes, the red, white and blue. We want people around the world to like us, yes. But we insist they respect us.
Honor duty and country weren’t empty words to John McCain. They’re not empty words for Joe Biden. Barack Obama has a vocabulary that’s probably bigger than ours put together.
Unfortunately, he gives too little weight to what probably are the three most important words ever written.
Duty.
Honor.
Country.
Socialist we’re not and we don’t want to be. Divided we’re not and we don’t want to be.
United we Stand. Americans have always stood for what is right and just. Some would like us to forget 9/11. They call it a tragedy. Which it wasn’t. It was a cowardly surprise attack. George Bush won the war in Iraq. Protected us from further attack. Barack, we don’t want to take two steps forward and one step back. We want to move forward. The rest of the world never had the stomach to lead.
Without a leader freedom is lost.
With a leader like the United States, nothing is out of reach.
Nov 10, 2008 - 6:11 am 42. Amphipolis:No. The war with the GOP is over. The GOP lost.
The war is with moderate Democrats. This is a message to them. Obama will demand congressional cooperation, and woe to those who do not fall in line.
Watch what happens to those who supported Hillary. I’d rather be a Republican than a Hillary endorser.
Nov 10, 2008 - 6:49 am 43. mnotaro:Obama sure has a long road ahead of him…I think a lot of the public will be disappointed in the months and years to come after they realize the separation and the division that Obama and the elite socialist illuminati will bring into our country.
Nov 10, 2008 - 9:10 am 44. Scott:Well,Rachel,Hamas and Hezbullah are slapping their thighs with glee
Nov 10, 2008 - 9:48 pm 45. Dave:Emanuel makes Karl Rove look like a Quaker. He is a vicious, graceless ass that shows just how empty the Democrats platitudes of bipartisanship and decency really are.
Going to be a sad 4 years for America.
Nov 11, 2008 - 10:26 am 46. gwen:Can I make a very shallow comment? Rahm Emanuel is effing gorgeous.
That being said, I think Obama picked him to even out the Democratic brigade’s stance on Israel- in other words, Obama needs to balance it out a little, not to mention getting the pro-Israel support.
Nov 11, 2008 - 8:41 pm 47. Ms. Know:Obama promised changed, and that he would work with the GOP, but picked someone from the old left-wing illuminati administration that is tempered and failed with their team.
Nov 14, 2008 - 12:07 pm 48. moreDreabedaw:Hello. It is test.
Nov 17, 2008 - 7:23 pm 49. doggril:Jeff- The election of McCain would have proved that we’re a center-right nation. The election of Obama and the return of a Republican majority in Congress would have proved we’re a center nation. The election of Obama and a Democratic majority in Congress–that’s center-left.

Jun 15, 2009 - 1:51 am 57. UMDaryl:[b] AFTC is our BREAKOUT TRADE of THE WEEK!!! [/b]
Alternative Fuel Technologies CEO Has Accepted Invitation to Speak as a “Key Expert” in Washington, at the “Military Energy and Fuels Conference!”
[i](PINK SHEETS: AFTC) (Jun 18, 2009, 12:01 p.m. EST)[/i]
AFTC CEO James C. McCandless stated, “The adoption of DME and our Fuel Injection Systems on the Military Level would offer the private sector the satisfactory evidence that DME is a legitimate fuel. McCandless further stated, “It is the company’s ultimate goal to achieve series production of DME fuel systems for the global automotive market by 2011.”
[b]WHY AFTC…WHY NOW? [/b]
An Alternative Fuel Company that has a relationship with FORD AND ANNOUNCED YESTERDAY it has received a Phase 1 SBIR1 from the UNITED STATES ARMY to assess the acceptability of running jet fuel (JP-8) in a very high pressure (30,000 psi) diesel fuel injection system.
WOULD A COMPANY THE US ARMY HAS GIVEN A SHOT
BE WORTH A COUPLE OF PENNIES PER SHARE?
YES, that’s what we said! The stock RALLIED
[i][b]OVER 33% YESTERDAY AND ANOTHER 16% TODAY! [/b][/i]
And this was before this announcement…
In fact, the stock’s high was OVER 4 cents today!!!
Before we get you jump started on your independent research for the night, let’s just do a little math…
Although Pink Sheet Equities are “high risk” and “highly volatile,” they can be wildly profitable…
IF you step in around 4 CENTS and it HITS 8, YOU have DOUBLED YOUR MONEY…IF 8 CENTS HITS 16 cents…Like we said…Do the MATH!
We urge you to do your independent research, talk to your financial advisor, but we have PLENTY of INFO RIGHT HERE to BRING YOU UP TO SPEED on AFTC…
[b]WHO IS AFTC? [/b]
Alternative Fuel Technologies, Inc. is an innovative and aggressively managed organization engaged in the development and manufacturing of ADVANCED FUEL SYSTEMS for use with NEW AND ALTERNATIVE FUEL—DME or Dimethyl Ether.
(See: http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/aftc )…AFTC has already developed low cost, intelligent fuel injection systems for DME fueled vehicles.
[b]What is DME:[/b]
DME is GREEN—It is great for our planet..It’s a cutting edge, ultra-clean diesel fuel replacement…
DME IS INEXPENSIVE! It can be produced from abundant resources; including natural gas, landfill methane, coal and biomass.
AFTC is Fighting The War on USA Dependency on Foreign Oil: At current oil prices, DME can be produced and distributed at less than 1/2 the cost of conventional fuel. When burned in a diesel engine, all soot emissions are eliminated
As AFTC President Jim McCandless recently stated, “Economic and Political trends have converged to provide great opportunity in the area of alternative fuels and related technologies and we believe this convergence will continue to positively impact AFTC’s future growth potential.”
AFTC ULTIMATE GOAL: The company’s ultimate goal is series production of DME fuel systems for the global automotive market by 2011.
Further information on Alternative Fuel Technologies Inc. is available at: http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/aftc

Looking for information about which are the best teeth whitening tools to purchase?
It has been difficult to get the truthful information as far as I can see. this place tells you one thing and another place tells you something completely different!
Well, I thought the easiest thing to do is get real feedback from you people as you may have personal experience re this area.
Any feedback would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance people.
