Rahm Emanuel, 'Center to Center-Right'?
By Tim Graham (Bio | Archive)

Beware the tendency for media liberals to paint the new Team Obama as a surplus of centrists. Just after 8:30 on CNN's American Morning, Frank Sesno declared that Rep. Rahm Emanuel, projected as Obama's chief of staff, is seen as "on the center to center-right." But that's not what his congressional voting records suggest.
Emanuel's American Conservative Union average since joining the House in 2003 is a 13, with a 4 in 2006 and a zero in 2007. The Americans for Democratic Action voting index is even more emphatic: Emanuel averages out (by my math) to a 96 percent liberal score.
His ADA scores: 95 percent in 2003, 100 percent liberal perfection in 2004 and 2005, 90 percent in 2006, and 95 percent in 2007.
Just a few days ago, Sesno noticeably announced in the same morning slot that "The era of Big Government is back." Emanuel's record matches that sentiment.

Barack did not select Emanuel because of his voting record (Btw: President Obama will NOT be as liberal legislator Obama.) Barack picked Emanuel because dude is an a$skicking behind the scene operative (who has been LARGELY credited with helping the Dems reclaim control of Congress in 2006) from CHICAGO whom he can TRUST to do WTF a President Barack Obama needs to get the job done.
Yawl might not know. But the rest of America has only gotten a taste of how we do it in Chi Town. |

True. But you should have heard Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity ranting and raving about Emanuel. Since he does not meet their right wing litmus test, they had nothing but negative things to say about Obama's first senior cabinet appointment. You can only expect continued relentless shrill personal attacks and vitriol from these two rabid ideologues. |

Ntfs,
Really. Who give a flying duck fuk what those clowns think? Hell, if their words meant anything McCain would have won.
All Barack has to do is succeed and that will eventually expose just how useless, irrelevant those crackas really are. |

Look, up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, NO, it's a bunch of hot air.

Rahm is the Democratic version of Dick Cheney. Every Administration has to have its henchman. |
