Only the faces change

No matter how you rearrange President Obama's inner cir cle, it still smells like a rot ten Chicago deep-dish pizza. The latest topping on this moldy pie is a possible chief of staff slot for Wall Street banker/lawyer/wheeler-dealer William Daley, brother of outgoing Chicago mayor/machine politics mastermind Richard Daley -- whose retirement paved the way for former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel to become a Chicago mayoral candidate. Phew.

The White House is reportedly looking to manufacture a "pro-business" aura with Bill Daley, who holds a "corporate responsibility" executive office at JP Morgan and once headed the US Chamber of Commerce -- the latter, a left-wing hate object and Obama punching bag leading up to the last election.

But the Chamber is too often a fair-weather statist lobbying organization. It supported the TARP bailout, the auto bailout and the pork-filled stimulus package, all of which have redistributed money from taxpayers and small businesses to politically connected special interests.

Daley has about as much real experience creating jobs as Obama -- which is to say, less than a thimble full.

In 2009, the head of Chicago's Sanitation Department implicated Daley in a hiring-corruption scheme tied to his brother's mayoral administration. The official was convicted; Daley shrugged off the federal probe. "Even if it happened -- and I'm not saying it did -- things were different. There was nothing illegal about that stuff."

Instead of distancing himself from the favor-trading Wall Street fat cats who've earned the ire of both anti-bailout Tea Party activists and anti-corporate liberals, Obama remains indebted to the worst kind.

No matter what they do it is not compatible and can not coexist with the Communist Manifesto. The Bill of Rights eventually puts the Kibosh on the communists. All they can do is destroy the economy and rot out the moral foundation of America until it collapses in to chaos. They then hope to rebuild the country on a new fundamental. A combo of Mao and Mother Teresa. They think the only reason communism fails is because geniuses like themselves were not in charge.

The ironic point of this is that after quitting his W.H. job,Emanuel is going to get his butt handed to him in Chicago's rat primary.

His skin tone not being dark enough.
