| Rahm Emanuel expected to quit White House |
| 2010-06-21 |
| Thrown under the bus as scape goat for the White House political buy off's? No more Jews to get in Obama's Israeli agenda? A pre-November exit would not help the Dem's, who already are in trouble, so I am sure a sweet deal was made for him to hang out until after November. This way he gets to take the fall ... Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, is expected to leave his job later this year after growing tired of the "idealism" of Barack Obama's inner circle. Washington insiders say he will quit within six to eight months in frustration at their unwillingness to "bang heads together" to get policy pushed through. |

| #20 More like a warning from Rahm that either he gets some back-up and others start swinging baseball bats at a few skulls, or he's out of there. And I bet it costs him a fortune mailing out all those dead fish. |

| #16 Rahm is going to be mentioned a lot in the Blago trials and it won't be pretty. The connection with Blago was substantive, continuing and it involved 'favors'. |

| #15 Keilor tells wonderful stories of the grounded self-sufficient mid-western folks in Lake Woebegone yet he publicly sides with those who disdain such self-sufficiency in favor of having the government run our daily lives. When he started adding the 'liberal slant to his radio shows many years ago, I stopped listening. Still read his old books, though. |

| #14 Deacon in #7--- You know Obama is in trouble when Garrison Keilor makes fun of him. Hopefully, this is a positive change in the tide, and not just mudflats for a while. |

| #13 This is a pre-under the bus leak based on the Blagojevich trial in Chicago. Rahm will have to testify there, tapes have been released to Blago's lawyers, the plot thickens. |

| #10 So who's going to pull the string which comes from Obama's back now? Jarrett's one of the major 'manipulators' already as is Desiree Rogers. See 'interactive' map here. |

| #8 When Obama was elected I didn't sleep that night out of fear of this clown or perhaps Islamist mole being president at a time Iran is trying to get nukes. So right or wrong I was relieved when I learned about the nomination of Rahm Emmanuel as a sign there would be some adult supervision during this presidency. Right or wrong I fear Emanuel's departure means Obama has decided to throw the mask. |

| #5 Ah, yesh.....the old "my family needs me" BS when you are getting forced out the door. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that Axelrod was/is Jewish, too. They haven't all been thrown under the bus....yet.....) |
