As you know President elect Obama ran on many promises, and top among them was building bi-partisan support. Leery republicans had questioned Obama’s radical associations, but they were assured over and over that these were people who held no influence in his life. They were among thousands of other people that he only had the most distant contacts with, so not to worry! He was billed as a man of the people, out to build consensus..strong on bi-partisanship! Sounded good and you elected him.
Republicans are fond of saying, watch what they do, not what they say. So what did Obama do? Well, his first move was to appoint Rep. Rahm Emanuel to be his White House chief of staff. Emanuel is known by his colleagues as “Rahmbo” – a nickname reflecting his reputation as one of the most ferociously combative figures in Washington.
Stay tuned; I’m sure Obama’s actions will reveal his true agenda very soon, even to the most naive. The Obama Watch begins!
