Well, losing in November is the one thing that will not blamed on Bush.. So go ahead Barry, blame the Rahmulan and enjoy your lame duck status..

Yes he will go after the Nov debacle and the official tale has already been set as "they were insufficiently hard line leftist" and had they been so they would not have lost in the elections.

Prepare for yet another veer leftward from obama.

"If Obama and his inner circle think Emanuel's departure will solve their problems, they are in for a rude awakening."

Now they'll really flip left. Won't make any difference. Come November, Barry will be a lame duck.

Makes sense. If Reps take the House in November Darrel Issa fill be flinging subpoenas at Rahm & other rats.

I can still see November from my house.

Emmanuel is the muscle in the Obama crime family, like Clemenza in The Godfather. Obama will be lost without him.

Rahm is an old-school Chicago apparatchik. He views power as a means to reward friends, cronies, and supporters, and to punish enemies.

He found himself alone in a White House mainly populated by True Believers, people who actually believe America is the source of much of the world's trouble, and if only capitalism could be destroyed, one world government, all-powerful but benevolent and loving, would naturally emerge.

The real problem is that for all his defects Rahm knows how things get done in DC from all his years there. Who will be the next Chief of Staff? If it's another far-left sycophant, we're in for serious trouble, because the CoS basically runs the day-to-day operation of the government.

It's going to be very interesting to watch this play out. Rahm Emanuel is a Chicago politician, and he's going to play by Chicago rules.

If he leaves the White House, he'd better take several pieces of incriminating evidence with him to use as insurance. He knows too much - and certain people on the White House staff KNOW that he knows too much. They'll want to make sure he doesn't talk, and the best way to do that is to make sure that Rahm can't talk to anyone, ever.

I think one or two of Obama's friends might be willing to counter Chicago Rules with Molotov Rules. Rahm had better make sure that if he has an Unfortunate Accident, the equivalent of Monica's blue dress will come to light. And he'd better make sure that Obama's cronies know that.

One problem: nobody elected Emmanuel to anything, they won't be satisfied with a flunky.

What will Obama do after his brain leaves? He'll spend the next two years vetoing attempt after attempt to repeal Obamacare. He'll have to fight over budgets as the new House of Political Amateurs attempts to defund the EPA, education, energy and all the rest of the useless bureaucracy.

The real question is how bad November will be for the Democrats. Obama isn't helping. Between the moritorium on drilling and the flotilla of warships on their way to Iran, he's really trying hard to give us all $7 gasoline by Election Day.

We found out from Hillary's interview in S. America that the DOJ would proceed with a suit against Arizona, so it makes perfectly good sense that we should garner most information from the foreign media.

The current media works for the WH.

FWIW one of my friends has postulated that RE will leave to rejoin Hillary when she checks out of this regime to restart her Ozark Long March to the Whitehouse.

Is it that Emanuel is out at the White House,
or that Emanuel is IN the Out-House?.....
but I digress.
