Defusing the Rahm Bomb

So maybe the time Rodney King was hoping for has arrived at last. Maybe now we all can just get along.

Witness The New Rahm in action. Obama at a meeting earlier in January with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others complained to Emanuel about his tendency to loudly crack his knuckles. “At which point,” The Times reported, “Mr. Emanuel held the offending knuckle up to Mr. Obama’s left ear and, like an annoying little brother, snapped off a few special cracks.”

Now all questions aside about the propriety of doing that to anyone, much less the President of the United States, can you imagine Dick Cheney or Karl Rove doing that to former President Bush? What do you think Bush’s reaction would have been? I, for one, wouldn’t rule out him decking the offending party.

Obama’s reaction was not reported, but I’m sure it was in keeping with “the cool, collegial and deliberate culture of Obama World.” “No Drama Obama” remember?

I'd love to really crack those fingers for that enemy combatant pos/cos.

Oh please. Bush wouldn't have reacted that way at all. And it depends on the meeting: a lighthearted meeting Bush woulda laughed.... if it were a tense serious meeting, the offender would have taken the request to heart and stopped.

The point is that bo has no power. He doesn’t even have the power to stop his Chief of Staff from annoying him.

We all have power. Just use it.

What Rahm was doing was telling everyone in the room that bo is NOT in charge.

The joke is on the obots who think they can post garbage like this and get Freepers to come to bo’s aid against big bad Rahm. LOL!

Obama's cool exterior in the face of Emmanuel's seeming insubordination is nothing but a cover for the cold fear he had to be feeling as Rahm's intent was to remind Barry who is really calling the shots in the Oval Office. Rahm is there as an enforcer for the Chicago bosses.

Here's Rahm pledging allegiance to the US on inaguration day.

Waddda ya wanna bet the frickin little twerp did not raise his hand to salute the US flag that day.

N-i-c-e take.

I think the pained expression on Obama's face in that first hour in the Oval Office, as Rahm leaned over him, was VERY telling.

Obama knows Rahm continually tries to overshadow him .......Enamuel arrogantly stands with his hands on hips for official pics---just so he will stand out from the crowd. And it is a message----"you guys will have to deal with me--not Obama."

The knuckle episode is illustrative of a seriously disturbed sociopath. Pres Obama gets mega-attention, so Rahm cracks his knuckles to assure everyone and himself that he is The One. The guy NEEDS to be in the limelight.....he needs ego-boosting at all times.

It's nauseasting to think this guy was in our Congress. This two-bit guy is sophmoric....even without wearing his tutu.

Rahm has put out so many versions that it appears he is attempting to coverup his true activties in the IDF. Could be the Mossad does not allow public disclosure of their activties?

HERE'S THE LATEST VERSION OF RAHM IN THE IDF---Rahm never served in the IDF he volunteered for Sar'el, which is a three week, civilians-assist-the-IDF program, where they live on an IDF base, wash dishes, repair machinery, do laundry, etc.

RAHM GAVE OUT THIS VERSION EARLIER--- He was a civilian volunteer assisting the Israel Defense Forces during the 1991 Gulf War, repairing truck brakes in one of Israel's northern bases.

RAHM ALSO GAVE OUT THIS VERSION---During the 1991 Gulf War, Israel was asked by the United States not to militarily respond to the Scud missiles that Iraq was hurling at them..........and Rahm was in Israel to assist them in not responding militarily.

==============================

SOB STORY Obaba can settle these "Islamic smears" ONCE AND FOR ALL. Unbelievably Obama has not responded to the "Islamic smears" Rahm has had to endure (sniffle). Here's some helpful hints (depending, of course, on which version of Rahm's story Obama believes): Obama should obtain copies of Rahn's paychecks paychecks to demonstrate that payments to Rahm were NOT coming out of the IDF military budget. Cause if they did, that would wipeout Rahm's US citizenship (sob).

Ever-helpful Rahm orchestrated the Arafat/Rabin Oslo handshake on the WH lawn.

Here's a helpful suggestion for Rahm:

At the (ahem) "next" WH peace table confab, Rahm should invite the guy with 289 wives-----he takes a wife everytime Israel goes to the peace table.

This coming from the man with “The Plan” for our youth. So nice to see he wants to lead America's youth by example.

Emanuel is a loose canon and therefore a liability. Fortunately, Zero is too naive to realize this fact.
