White House Insider: Pelosi and Obama at War
NewsFlavor ^ | October 7, 2010 | Ulsterman

Nice to see you again – so you indicated you were given the “green light” to shed some more personal details regarding past events involving members of the White House and Congress. Who gave you that green light?

I won’t say anything more on that specifically beyond simply stating that this individual is no longer burdened by the requirements of their position at the White House. So yes, I was told I could speak more freely now, and that is what I intend to do. I’m happy to do it in fact. And I’m happy to see some more people quietly coming forward also.

Well, you do realize that what you are describing points a very possible finger at Rahm Emanuel, right? He has just left his position at the White House.

That is your position, not mine – and don’t expect me to clarify it.

(snip)

Rahm Emanuel left the White House willingly, but he was also under strong suggestion to leave. He has not been a dominant figure in the West Wing for some time now.

He was the White House Chief of Staff – how could he not have been a dominant figure? He has been marginalized. Pushed aside. Even his direct access to the president was reduced more recently. It happens. There is always an ongoing fight to gain the ear of the president. Rahm lost that fight, and now he is gone. If he hadn’t left, I am certain he would have been forced out, which would have been no easy task because the guy is a fighter.

Who marginalized him?

Good question.

Thank you – but do you have the answer?

Sure… (clears throat) It was mainly three people. Valerie Jarret, David Axelrod, and Michelle Obama.

I posted emphatically on FR weeks ago that Rahm didn't resign, he was thrown under the bus!

But everyone wanted to buy the canard that he quit because he wanted to be Da Mare of Chicago. Now this article bears out what I was saying.

Furthermore, Rahm will never be mayor of Chicago despite the media hype going on in the Windy City at the moment. If the current mayor isn't for ya, you're a dead lake smelt....and he ain't for Rahmbo.

“My ties to the 2008 Obama campaign feel more and more these days like a dishonorable victory.”

I totally agree with you. That is why Hillary took the Sec of State position to set herself up.

Yup, you did.

A couple questions ...

Why did RE (or Axelrod?) float the mayoral trial balloon back in January?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2421418/posts

And, who or what caused Daley to not seek reelection?

I don't think anyone can answer your first question....YET.

As to why Mayor Richie Daley is not running again...in my opinion, it's a combination. His wife has cancer of the bad kind. Being mayor of one of the world's major cities is all-consuming in the time department.

Plus, Chicago is desperately broke...and potentially volatile consequences lie ahead in this diverse and heavily-unionized city.

Probably a minor, but telling event in the political career of the Mayor is the fact he couldn't bring the Olympics to his city. He was emotionally invested in the effort. When it fell apart, I think, to some extent, so did he, inwardly at least.

It sort of took the wind out of him. It was to be a capstone to his political life and also to the Daley dynasty. His father would have been proud of him....but it was not to be. Nor would another run for the mayorality be in his future.

Hum. This guy throws a few bones and a lot of juicy tidbits. But still what is he really revealing of any importance? That is confirmable that is.

Probably the most important thing he does is lay the groundwork that it's OK to come forward.hhhm? Wonder if he's for real or just a stimulus?

Though not confirmable, though bolstered by those jumping ship, what is revealing is the depth of infighting within the party.

Think about Pelosi’s position...She had to (possibly was forced to/blackmailed) manipulate the paper work so he wouldn’t be found out...and she may end up doing time for it....A good reason not to want to cooperate any more....He11 yes I’d be angry at him, myself for getting in that position....What are her options for getting out of it? Not many...alive.

But consider this, she does know how she covered Obama’s ass in Hawaii with that second certification which was her certifying FOR Hawaii that Obama was constitutionally eligible to run for POTUS. Is she mad enough to reveal THAT?

Turns states evidence and stays out of jail, she'll give them everything....If they give her some kind of protection.

Problem is it's like she's dealing with a mob, but doesn't know who is friend and who is foe....She'll be lucky to come out with her life and that may be her biggest fear....So she plays the game the puppet master tells her to play.

Think originally that being third in line for the POTUS went to her head. She knew BO was not eligible and Biden would be removed too...Just isn't going to happen on her terms. POOR Nancy!

Worse than that, it would bring Hillary into direct conflict with Mooschelle. And I KNOW who would win that one. Hillary can dance circles around Michelle intellectually. Maybe thats what Obama is MOST scared of, cause that moose is gonna take that loss out on someone... who ya think that would be? LOL

I don’t know. Nancy knows that whole shebang. Everything. She also knows that the White House cannot be trusted, she got screwed, bad. It will cost a LOT of loyal progressive sheep their jobs, which destroys her power base. She HAS to be pissed as hell at the betrayal.

If Nancy told all, in lew of prosecution, just saying, Obama would literally be out of office by the end of the day. Talk about Revenge.

I think the temperature in D.C. just got about 20 degrees colder, and you know that old Klingon saying, Revenge is a dish best served cold?? LOL

Butter for your popcorn?

Rahm
Pelosi
Hillary

Not prudent to turn one’s back on any of them, IMO, and it looks like RE gave “insider” the green light to expose more.

If true, will Pelosi be the October surprise?

http://newsflavor.com/politics/world-politics/white-house-insider-obama-battling-severe-depression/

Just prior to the midterm elections, a significant figure within the party is going to break out and talk publicly to the media about much of what has and is going on both at the White House and Congress

FLASHBACK:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/michelle-obama/6215367/Michelle-Obama-favoured-Joe-Biden-over-Hillary-Clinton-as-vice-president-book-claims.html

Author Christopher Andersen reported that Mrs Obama favoured Joe Biden, the president’s eventual choice.

“Do you really want Bill and Hillary just down the hall from you in the White House?” she reportedly told her husband. “Could you live with that?” Mr Obama later thought of the masterstroke of appointing the woman he narrowly defeated as his secretary of state.

Maybe.... These people do not play nice, and they do not care about consequences when cornered. They are out to protect themselves and their power base. Nancy got screwed out of hers by Obama. Even if by some act of satan the democrats retained a majority in November, she is going to lose her seat as Speaker.

Is Nancy pissed enough to take Obama out of the White House?? After all, she is the one who put him there, she CAN take him out.

It destroys her position AND, she loses this:

I think Pelosi IS probably mad enough AND realizes that at this point, the wheels are in motion that if she doesn't come clean, Rahm or Stenny will...and she's afraid that she then may go to prison (horrors and "no effin' way."). And it's all why Obama's fleeing to the other side of Earth November 3.

And could it be that the insider is in fact Alexrod (or Gibbles?) himself? (Or is that crazytalk?) I think that within the inner group of Rahm, Axelrod, Valerie and The Wookie, there HAVE to be alliances/confidant pairings within them.

Naturally those alliances would split along the lines of the later-come Chicagoans/milder SELF-advancing Marxists (Rahm and Axelrod,) versus the hard-core America-hating Marxist ideologues (Valerie and Wookie.)

I think the closest confidant to Obama has always been Valerie--she's basically his sister--his ONLY family and lifelong Anti-American Marxist/Arab. They are of ONE mind. She has been kept in the shadows all along by design--soas not to get found out too soon their TRUE, Marxist-America ambitions.

By default the other true (but dangerous) Obama confidant with allegiance is The Wookie: Longtime fellow-Marxist and immune-from-testifying-against-spouse cards-holder. The Wookie is in for the long haul with Obama as long as it benefits herself. And SHE knows the TRUTHS--meaning SHE never has to worry about being thrown under the bus--she DRIVES The Big Red Barry Wookie Bus...with prosecutorial and "mom-protecting-her-daughters" impunity.

It's a Wookie World--she truly IS the most powerful woman in it right now. And I think she's soon to see...in her gold-doblon-adorned Wookie Rearview Mirror...a HUGE multi-car pile-up...including a completely totaled and car-B-Qed Barrymobile. She gives one final look in the mirror to be sure before a big Wookie-smile spans her face...then she puts the peddle to the metal as "I Like Big Butts and I Cannot Lie" blares on the radio.
