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...

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.
