Now that Barack Obama has won his bid for the White House, Americans should get ready to learn some inconvenient truths about him and the folks surrounding the president-elect that media have safely hidden from the public in order to promote his messiah-like image.
First out of the gate were revelations about Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), the Obama supporter and Congressional Democratic Caucus chairman Obama has tapped to be his Chief of Staff (please see my colleague Jeff Poor's November 6 report on this subject).
On Friday, ABC's Brian Ross reported that Emanuel was on the Board of Directors of the failed financial institution Freddie Mac, a nice little tidbit conservatives on radio and in the blogosphere felt was important during this campaign, but for the most part mainstream media outlets didn't care about...conveniently until now

The New Politics of Hope and Change -- jackboot mafia-style thugs to run things.
I am not sure the millions of "I told you so's" will take away the pain that will be the fuhrer's administration.

Since Dick Morris mentioned that Rahm Emanuel studied ballet, I just can't get the "twinkletoes" picture out of my mind...

:o And the economic downturn will continue...The same people who put us into this mess are going to take over the entire US.

A very scary thought indeed!!!! It gets worse by the day!

Yup, and all the Obama Defenders will sit there looking like stumps trying to blame it all on President Bush :whatever:
-
^of course. We're screwed. And yet again, history will only have begun on Jan 21, 2001. I'm so sick of these fools.
-
The "Bush's Fault!" meme will only work for a short while after he's gone, rest assured.
And if the GOP doesn't take this and hammer the 'Rats with it, then they're even bigger pussies than I thought.

Well the GOP website has balls. Too bad it's not being shouted from the rooftops (or covered by MSM - which is more likely the case) :whatever:

"Emanuel's Reputation For Political Ruthlessness Earned Him The Nickname 'Rahmbo,' An Image Reinforced By A Legendary Episode When He Sent A Dead Fish To A Pollster Who Displeased Him." (Janet Hook, "Meet The Powers Behind The Democrats' Strategy," Los Angeles Times, 7/5/06)
Emanuel Calls Himself A "Vince Lombardi Democrat," Because He Believes "Winning Isn't Everything. It's The Only Thing." "Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), earlier this year called himself a 'Vince Lombardi Democrat.' It was Lombardi, the Hall of Fame football coach, who said, 'Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing.'" ("Chairman Rahm," The Hill, 12/14/05)
Emanuel's Political Style Was "Honed In Chicago" And Has A "Reputation As A Political Street Fighter." "But his political style--honed in Chicago and on the presidential campaign trail with Clinton--isn't gentle or uncertain. His reputation as a political street fighter inspires respect and more than a little fear." (Naftali Bendavid, "The House That Rahm Built," Chicago Tribune, 11/12/06)
"[Emanuel] Was Also Zealously Partisan. He Had Once Owned A Consulting Business Devoted To Finding Skeletons In Republican Closets." (Edward McClelland, "The Legend Of Rahm," Salon.Com, 5/8/07)
Emanuel Told His Staff That Republicans Could "Go F--- Themselves!" "'I'll tell you this,' Emanuel shouted out to his staff. 'The Republicans may have the 72-hour program. But they have not seen the 22-month program! ... Since my kids are gone, I can say it: They can go ---- themselves!'" (Naftali Bendavid, "The House That Rahm Built," Chicago Tribune, 11/12/06)
Emanuel Even Told Then-British Prime Minister Tony Blair Before An Appearance With President Clinton: "This Is Important. Don't F--- It Up." "Mr Emanuel is reputed to have walked up to Tony Blair before the prime minister's first public appearance with Mr Clinton, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. 'This is important,' he told Mr Blair. 'Don't f--- it up.'" ("Former Ballet Dancer Turned Political Fixer," The [London, UK] Guardian, 11/10/06)

Well, look at it this way - things will get so bad that the media won't be able to spin or ignore it or blame it on the Republicans. We'll be back in power in 4 years.

You might want to sit down before I tell you this.

By which time we will have a Depression worse than '29 and no 2nd and 1st Amendments.

I hope you're right, but I just spent the entire weekend with my Mother and my inlaws who have bought into the BDS-inspired memes, wholesale. "Bush has created such an enormous mess that Obama is going to have a very hard time turning it around."
All. Weekend. I was redy to stick a fork right through my eye and deep into my brain, for some relief.
Blech.
