I was not as happy with the appointment, Rahm is famous for a few things,  
One he is the top ranking member of the machine, Chicago's famous political  
machine. Two, he sent a dead fish to a pollster who's poll results he didn't  
like, a symbol well known in the Chicago politics/crime scene (often the same 
 
thing)  as a warning that one will soon be sleeping with the fishes. Three,  
when asked about cooperating with the Republicans said "the Republicans can 
all  
go F*^% themselves". Fourth, he was board director of Freddie Mac during the  
time the books were cooked. He does get things done though, and was Pelosi's  
recommendation for the position...

I swore  no politics out of me, but I am curious, and I don't think my
comments will  be too controversial...
What do y'all think of Rahm?

His appointment  was a pleasant surprise for me.  From what I understand,
Rahm is a  'centrist' Democrat.  Remember how I was worried that with
Obama being  Dem and Congress being Dem there would be no brakes?  Well,
I think  Rahm just might be Obama's brakes.
While some are talking doom and gloom,  actually, I am feeling a lot more
positive about President Obama and the  future.  I am still on the right
of center, but just liberal enough to  like a little tug to the
left...for  balance.
