BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!

Um, living my life, and I pretty well knew what ROFF would generally
contain - a bunch of guilty white "liberals" gloating and congratulating
themselves on how wonderful they are for having voted for a black guy
who was gonna "change" everything and a coupla-three of clueless old
farts railing against it all. As for me, as I said, it changes nothing
and there is no way whatsoever to know what or how Obama might do, so
commenting on what he _might_ do is premature. He was an unknown
quantity on Tuesday morning and he'll be one until at least he is sworn
in. About all that I would offer is that he better be VERY careful
about what he does as neither he nor Dems got anything remotely close to
a "mandate from the people" (no, the "popular vote" total is not
terribly reflective if you analyze it). I hope he lives up to even half
his hype, because if so, he'll be a decent President. And to
quasi-quote a moderately well-known black comedian, "Obama, you're in,
brother...for God's sake, don't lose yo' damn mind..." His supposed
choice of Rahm Emanuel for CoS doesn't bode well.

And there you are,

Whew, thanks for that. I was afraid ... well, you know.

It's a brilliant choice if Emanuel will do it. There's no
better guy to play "bad cop" against Obama's "good cop".
Trouble is Emanuel wants to be Speaker of the House, he
wants it real bad, and he feels he's already served his
sentence in the West Wing.

I might disagree, as Emmanuel will keep the more-liberal House of Reps in
line, as Obama develops his program.
It might work like this: Obama's team develops an initiative, ole Rahm
steers it though house intact(ie: without Pelosi et al ****ing it up), while
Biden shmoozes the Senate. This may prove a very successful approach, time
will tell.

It will. My fear of Emanuel is that he seems like a Tom Delay, just
working it from a different angle, but concerned solely about the same
thing...himself.

Really? Tom Delay was indited for criminal acts. Delay and Abramoff
(currently in prison) were big buddies. Delay called the caged garment
workers on Saipan, a great capitalist experiment or something like
that. DeLay stole money from a fake youth charity to fund Republican
drunk-fests at the convention. DeLay set up the K Street project which
extorted millions from American and foreign businesses.

I don't recall you having any problems with DeLay's antics? Why would
you fear Emanuel, again?

Then you don't recall very well. I've repeatedly called Delay a sorry
piece of **** and worse. The fact that I was and am against Ronnie
Earle and his equally-smarmy trumped-up politically-motivated criminal
prosecution is another matter.

HTH,
