...and I think Obama picked him purely to get the Israel Lobby off his back. I'm sick of Israelis in high positions of power in our government. He's a fucking pit bull. He has ignored right and wrong to do shitty things for his party or for his other country too many times. Goddammit.
Yes, yes, I can see the advantages of having a pit bull as your number one, but we did NOT choose Hillary as our candidate, and this asshole is one of the prime reasons we didn't.

And if you don't believe me, check this out. Israel is going to pound on Obama and not let up. Emanuel is the cross he can hold up against the pressure. Except, Emanuel is also the constant threat of completely untenable pressure and maybe worse....
I don't put anything past him. If he could help formulate and embrace so whole-heartedly the vicious Democratic "strategy" of keeping Iraq funded in order to keep it *'s war, simply so they could run against him instead of the candidate in 2008, among a million other perfidies, he's capable of anything.
So, far from taking the strong and lucid line on Israel, Obama is flat out placating them.

You can bone up on his character/temperament here:
And there's the story of how, the night after Clinton was elected, Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting "Dead! . . . Dead! . . . Dead!" and plunging the knife into the table after every name. "When he was done, the table looked like a lunar landscape," one campaign veteran recalls. "It was like something out of The Godfather. But that's Rahm for you."
... You don't earn the nickname "Rahmbo" being timid.
Aaaagggghhhh....

Oh, oh, and here and here for a coupla doozies that pretty much fill out my gripes about him.
It's goddam like he was put in there to keep a leash on Obama.
