Rahm Watch: “White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, widely expected to leave the White House to make a long coveted run for Chicago mayor, could make an announcement on his decision as soon as Friday, a source close to him said,” the AP says. “Emanuel has not made a final decision, said the person familiar with Emanuel's thinking, who spoke on condition of anonymity for that reason. The dominant factor at this point is the impact the move and the campaign would have on Emanuel's wife and three young children, who live with him in Washington, the source said. Should Emanuel leave the White House, President Barack Obama is expected to choose an interim chief of staff. That's likely to be Peter Rouse, one of Obama's senior advisers in the White House and his former chief of staff in the Senate.”
The latest Washington Post installment of Bob Woodward’s new book covers the Obama-Biden deliberations to not let Afghanistan become another Vietnam.

Obama agenda: Trying to rekindle "the magic"
______________________________________________________________________________________
Impossible. "The magic" simply was voters believing the lies of Obama and the other progressive lefitsts.
We know better now.
Specifics please, Madison. Please give us one provable lie. And who is this 'we' you are talking about? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?
simple Matthew,
I will Close gitmo down within the FIRST YEAR i am in office.
"Obama's 2 step plan: pump enthusiasm and trash Republicans"
Obama and the MSM refuse to accept that most hard working citizens OPPOSE his POLICIES, EXECUTIVE ORDERS, CZARS and REGULATIONS
But they keep CLAIMING The problem is Obama's MESSAGE or SPIN
Madison, be as angry and partisan as you want, that is your right. However, do not project your feelings on everyone else. You do not represent any more than you, yourself and you . . . okay, I guess it's okay to claim the knowledge of three people's feelings.
Madison- my husband, both my daughters & their husbands we are all hard working middle class Americans, and we are very happy with President Obama and anything he can do to make the repugnants miserable, so you are mistaken today, and probably were yesterday too.
Plain and simple, the truth is that the Republicans won’t ever solve the problems. There are those of us who would really like that to be different but the reality is that their ever solving, not just giving lip service and a lot of subterfuge to disguise and then rationalize, is impossible. Their focused and disciplined commitment is to their personal and political ambitions at any cost, which totally occupies them with being ‘puppets’ for Special Interests and the influential, powerful and extremely wealthy few who they feel support and enable them and who literally ‘pull their strings’. Their actions for the last ten years totally substantiate that and leave no doubt; they clearly demonstrated their unity in supporting all Bush-Cheney did in placating and patronizing Special Interests and the select few while giving the people only apathy, the costs and an abundance of subterfuge, and since, in again being irresponsible and arrogant in withholding any cooperation and instead faulting and obstructing everything to ultimately be serving only Special Interests and the few. They are tied into and dependent on those who ‘pull their strings’ and who ‘call the shots’ and who even pick the candidates (by their ‘puppet’ qualities instead of by their qualifications). The Republican Party has been totally consistent and the resulting frustrating futility and the significant cost for the average American has been totally obvious to anyone who can just avoid being swayed, manipulated and conned.
There are those who claim to be ultra-conservatives and who greatly benefit from putting their substantial power, influence and money into controlling the Republicans’, both Tea Party and regular. The resources they make available, both overt and covert, and the commitment they demand really make it impossible for the Republicans to deviate. The creative subterfuge and the organized, sponsored and extensive efforts they undertake to sway, manipulate and con public opinion are impressively offensive. John Dean (a self-proclaimed Goldwater conservative and past member of Nixon’s staff), in his book “Broken Government”, recognized the extent of the cancer when he said that the Republicans “with their current mentality were simply incapable of responsibly governing”. All we have to do is look at recent history to see where the majority, including the total middle-class, consistently looses ground as only the very wealthy gain under Republican control. It is a shame but unless we recognize reality and actually become offended by the insult of the constant deception and of being taken for granted and then totally reject them, we could be returned to ‘more of the same’ which just favors the few and caused all of the problems. That is what everything they say/do is attempting to accomplish, whether Tea Party or regular, a return to ‘more of the same’, where once more there would be the subterfuge to maintain the status all over again.
Very interesting use of the words –magic. things appears & disappear in thin air, visual illusion, make you think it is real but not real and has no substance. Just about sums it up what we have seen in the last two years.
