The president needs a Chief of Staff who can be utterly practical and gets things done. That’s Rahm.
Obama’s job is to bring people together, lead, find compromises, and to a large degree – agree with everyone. He then needs a Chief of Staff who takes all that and makes the decisions that upset many, which is necessary to actually accomplishing things.
I think if the Dems win big it would almost assure Reid and Pelosi stay in their leadership positions.
I would love to see Rahm as speaker though. He would be the highest ranking Jewish government official ever.
You’re right, Nancy’s not going anywhere. But, maybe 4 or 6 years from now Dems will need someone to step up to Speaker or Majority (or Minority) Leader. I think he’d be great there…but if he goes into an Obama Admin, that’ll never happen.
Also, if, god forbid, dems ever lose the presidency (snark alert), a strong Speaker like Rahm could be our version Newt 🙂
but it’s freaking hilarious. Back from the primary season.
I’d never seen it. Thanks.
“Rahm Emanuel even makes me anti-Semitic”
Freaking classic.
Pelosi will stay
but Senate leaders just don’t get booted…especially after what is shaping up to be a successful election. Plus, I don’t see anyone lining up the 29 or 30 anti-Reid votes they’d need to oust him. Durbin’s not going to do it, Reid supported him as Senate #2. Hillary would be good, but I doubt she’d make a move to oust him. That’s really what it comes down to: who’s going to push for him to be replaced?
Somewhat ironically, it actually might help him get reelected in 2010 if he’s not the Dem leader…
But it would create a power shift in the House, and that could be a good thing (or a bad thing…). Chief of Staff is something Rahm would be good at. Sure, he’s partisan, but compared to some CoS appointees he’s not way out-of-line. But in the end, he can get things done and he can actually work with both sides of the aisle.
I think a lot of people were putting Durbin or Daschle (?) in that slot, but Rep. Emanuel’s got the chops for the spot, too.
…I seriously don’t
How could you forget the dynamo that is Josh Bolten?!?! 🙂
…I haven’t heard any new songs from him in a while.
