Can that man be serious?
He is not worried that we are going to bolt?
What is it going to take to get through to our President that Rahm is his worst decision, and he needs to cut his losses sooner than later?
I am beside myself with anger when I read things that drop from his lips. I was angry when Obama chose him, but now I am truly incensed. IMHO, he is the reason why Obama is not doing such a great job on much of anything.
He is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Rahm Emanuel: Don’t Worry About the Left
http://blogs.wsj.com/...
By Jonathan Weisman
Turn off MSNBC. Tune out Howard Dean and Keith Olbermann. The White House has its liberal wing in hand on health care, says White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
"There are no liberals left to get" in the Senate, Emanuel said in an interview, shrugging off some noise from the likes of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) that a few liberals might bolt over the compromises made with conservative Democrats.
What a slimeball.
Update:
I have felt a huge sense of urgency regarding HCR, because I know so many who need this to happen NOW. So, I have been working very hard to do whatever I can to make real reform happen. I have been on the same roller-coaster as the rest of the country, with one day the public option would be in and the next day it would be out. Along the way, I was always reading that Rahm could care less about the public option. I took that personally. Last week I thought we would get Medicare, and then we are told No again. A huge letdown again, and now I am really angry and disillusioned too.
So, when I read the the WSJ and what Rahm said about the Senators...I took it personally, because those progressive senators represent me too. Maybe WSJ sensationalized it, but my feelings were and are sincere. When he disses the senators I love, or thinks politics is better than policy...I take that personally too.
In short. I can't take it anymore and I think Rahm is doing a terrible job, and this post was about those observations I've had about him since January.
I reiterate: Rahm is a slimeball.
