Rahm Emanuel the next president of the United States?

Who is Rahm Emanuel?

As many Americans celebrate the historic victory of Barack Obama this evening most will be completely unaware of the central figures in his administration who will direct and implement major policies and legislation changing the lives of every citizen. While the average voter may not give a moments thought to who the members of an Obama administration will be the Obama team has already selected candidates to fill those positions.

According to a well placed Democratic aid Barack Obama personally selected Rahm Emanuel to be his Chief of Staff.

A key figure from Obama’s hometown of Chicago will be Congressman Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) fourth ranking Democrat in the House. Rahm Emanuel joined the Clinton’s in 1991 directing the campaign’s finances. Following the campaign Rahm became a senior adviser to Bill Clinton and severed in the Clinton administration holding various titles. Rahm was one of the original architects of NAFTA and aggressive anti- gun laws passed by the Clinton administration.

Mr. Emanuel began his career with the consumer rights organization Illinois Public Action. In 1989 he served as a senior adviser and chief fundraiser for Richard M. Daley.

Rahm and Barack have a deep history together is Chicago politics. Emanuel has been instrumental is the rise of Barack Obama from neophyte Senator to the next president of the United States.

His father Jerusalem born Benjamin M. Emanuel was a member of the Irgun, a Zionist Militant organization in the 1940s. The Irgun bombed the King David Hotel occupied by the British and housing the British authorities of Palestine on July 22, 1946. The group planted a bomb in the basement of the hotel.

I think by picking an orthodox Jew Obama is trying to tamp down the Muslim trojan horse talk.

His father was Jerusalem born “zionist militant.” He himself was born here. Very successful family: doctors and such, real professions.

One good result of President Obama is there will never be a President Hillary or a First Dude Bubba.

Hillary should have worked harder to defeat the Messiah. She will fade into obscurity now.

Rahm Emanuel is just another Chicago machine politician. We in Illinoisistan are familiar with this sort of vermin. Time the rest of the country sees how the professional crooks work!

Rahm seems to fill most of the criteria for AntiChrist. After becoming POTUS, he’ll be unanimously acclaimed as the Leader of all Mankind and move his government to Jerusalem!

He's not the main problem. The main problem is all the low level political appointments to be filled with moonbats and Obamacons.

These are the people who will make your life hell if you cross their path, and they will be unchecked.

I also spoke to my son today who is in the army. I told him to lean on good NCO's and Officers who will help him. He is very worried about his career, and the military in general right now.

Given his politics, I find it very hard to believe that Emmanuel is an Orthodox Jew.

I think not. This works perfectly for Her Heinous with one of Bildo's boys minding the store. She wounded her biggest adversary in Sarah Palin and while Sarah and the conservatives gather themselves the way is clear to drop the anvil on Chairman Hussein's head at the opportune time, move Plugs temporarily to the top and take over the VP slot from where it's a simple hop to the Presidency just after the cutoff date specified in the 22nd Amendment so she can serve two full terms in addition to finishing out Biden's term. Not obscurity by a long shot.

That will be Rahm’s job...Rahm and B. Hussein will take good care of us all, I am sure...
