Rahm Mulls Obama WH CoS Offer: Commitment to Public Service Versus Commitment to Family

re:These are all important issues that should be addressed. 46% of the population didn't vote for Obama because of these:

- flag lapel pins
- birth certificate
- the pledge hand position
- Ayers
- Wright
- Mrs. Obama's pride in America
- Muslim
- alleged socialism
- marxist
- communist
- 'manchurian candidate'
- Khaladi
- race
- celebrity
- journey overseas
- voting 'present'
- unamerican

Then 46% of the population is stupid and must get their education from viral emails. It must be too much to ask you to do some research so go to snopes for factcheck to get YOUR information right.

I sometimes forget to check the !@#$%^ Websters which includes ridiculous made-up words like "irregardless" just because people say them. A good word has been lost through misuse but I can't blame Barry for that.

You win on a technicality.
====================

:P

I can't stand when people say "irregardless". :)

Anyway, I hope he takes the job.

SORRY , DIDN'T CATCH THE MISPELLED WORDS

ASL MOST DEMOCRATS IF THEY LIKE ABORTION, THEY WILL SAY NO ! THE PROBLELM IS THAT THE EXTREME RIGHT WING OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WANTS TO CRIMINALIZE IT AND THE REST OF THE HUMAN RACE WANTS TO EDUCATE THROUGH HEALTH INITIATIVES AND MEDICAL TECKNOLOGY HOW TO PREVENT PREGNANCY IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND GUIDE AND HELP GIRLS WHO WOULD RATHER CHOOSE TO BRING A CHILD INTO WORLD , TO ASSIST THEM IN THIER STRESSFUL TIME TO GIVE THEM ALTERNITIVES OF KEEPING OR GIVING WITHOUT GUILT.THE GIFT OF A CHILE TO A CHILDLESS COUPLE ..
THE MAGIC WORDS ARE EDUCATE, PREVENTION, GUIDE, ALTERNITIVES AND GUILT !
I AM QUOTING ANOTHER BLOGGER NOT KNOWN BUT VERY PROFOUND..

Tina -

I think you've confused "issues" with paranoid conspiracy theories. This is precisely the kind of "cultural warrior" stuff that drove moderate Republicans and Independents to Senator Obama.

Obama will have one or two years to get meaningful legislation passed. Already the wolves are regrouping. Economy and trade issues are first, then healthcare and tax restructure. If he succeeds to that extent he will have done more than Bush has done in eight years. Rahm is an enforcer strongman who can defend against the attacks soon to come.

This shows the quality of the man. The fact he is considering his family and how little time he would be able to spend with his kids, shows he is a balanced human being, not a too-ambitious, self-centered politician.
Whatever jobs he does, I'm sure he is a great public servant.

Emanism - I don't know how you came to the conclusion that "I" didn't ask questions. But then, I'm not surprised.
I'll just say.. you know what happens when one "assumes".

You can blame everything in this world on President Bush if you want. I don't care. What you CAN NOT do - is tell me tthat "I" have to be an Obama supporter. I do NOT believe he is going to be the "great uniter". But since this is the GREAT United States of America - I am free to believe that. You are free to believe otherwise.

Some have not given President Bush one ounce of RESPECT - do not for one second believe that we will forget that - EVER.

Please just take the damn job. America and Obama need this guy, he needs to say yes or no now

Doris too bad u didnt ask enough questions of the idiot who is leaving now. I think Obama is anything but a really exceptional gifted politician. That he is. I dont mind asking questions. Nothing wrong with that at all. They should be fair though. It seems the last guy did not let anyone question him and look what we got. I think Rahm should take the job but I understand the family issue. Thats a big issue with some folks and they should weigh it out. Its a tough job and requires a lot of time away from family. I think he will take it. He is a centrist. Well help Obama keep both extremes in check.

Rahm should just say "no." He obviously has reservations. You don't leave a President hanging. Frankly, Obama ought to withdraw the offer and move on to someone willing to commit 150% when asked.

RAHM, WHAT MORE COULD YOU DO FOR YOUR KIDS, THAN HELP SAVE THE FREE WORLD? TAKE THE FREAKIN JOB, ALREADY!

For Palin Disaster:

Her lack of general knowledge is unfortunate but then again she is a quick study. I notice that in his acceptance speech, Obama said, "You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead." So the Harvard summa cum laude does not know the meaning of "enormity."

Maybe there's a problem with the education system but no one will know because it's more fun to demonize Republicans.
======================================

He did not use "enormity" incorrectly.

Also, I think " a lack of general knowledge" is a bit more than "unfortunate". We expect more out of our own children, our own college graduates, prospective employees, etc.; should we not expect more from someone running for high political office?

matteroffacts - it never ceases to amaze me how some people believe that President Bush would pass something just to "get back at" the democrats.

I'm SURE he's just sitting there thinking of things he can do that will hurt the USA (yes that is sarcasm) Too bad you all see him as hating the United States and yet someone who isn't proud of the US and is friends with known terrorists gets a pass....

RCE - where was I? I was wondering what in the heck Bush was doing! I am not a "blind" follower of any party. I do not accept any politicians word at face value. I KNOW they will lie.

If any of the obama worshipers were honest, they'd see that Bush was NOT worshiped. People are treating obama like he is a god. I shudder to think how they are going to react when he fails to give them everything he's promised.

So Rahm Emanuel the Israeli asset will be "in charge" of the WH. That should ensure that President Obama gets unbiased advice on Middle East policy, right?

It's ironic how Obama is labeled "The Messiah" by Republicans when they have been worshipping George W. Bush for so long. Have they not taken a look at the President they nominated for twice? The one who felt the War in Iraq is actually
"GOD'S WILL!"

Wake up people. George Bush was the one on the messianic mission for eight years. It will be nice to have someone for president who understands the separation between church and state once again.

Errr...Isn't it unpatriotic to criticize our president?

Get used to being in the minority.

I also see nothing wrong with questioning what our president does, but where were all of you ######## when George Bush was president? Where were all of you standing when he made all his critics out to be terrorists? Where were all of you when criticism about this ill begotten war was deemed unpatriotic? Sneering.

Hope we can work together in the future, but all of you Republicans have to understand that calling the current president a "Messiah" solves nothing.
