Re: Obama picks pro-Israel hardliner for top post (4.00 / 3)

See also: How Rahm Emanuel Has Rigged a Pro-War Congress, article from 2006.

The author concludes:

The question arises. Who is Congressman Rahm Emanuel? From what does he derive his power?

That was the [good] question, then, and it remains the same, today.

Re: Obama picks pro-Israel hardliner for top post (none / 1)

Rahm presumably got rewarded for bringing in so much money for Obama's campaign. It really bugs me about the choice that by being Obama's first choice of personnel, he seems to be saying that he valued that help higher than the grass-roots campaigners.

A benighted individual who perceives an illusory distinction between serving his nation and abetting the criminals who govern it.
