There would seem to be a wiring flaw at the very core of this administration, and its not the President of the United States. Time and again key tasks are not completed, whether they be positions filled, or candidates vetted. Schedules kept, or principals informed. In any event, these are responsibilities of the President's Chief of Staff. Significantly, while he is regularly mentioned by the press and ALWAYS focused by the cameras - these are the rare factors which substantiate that the man is in Washington, but leave untold whether or not he has been of service to this president and the American people. The smug Mr. Emanuel - he of the profane, expletive and obscenity-laden diatribe for all persons with whom he disagrees - he has benefited from the press this time by being supposedly subjected, on EVERY media outlet, to Sarah Palin's call for President Obama to fire Mr. Emanuel. Mr. Emanuel is so full of himself he has yet to realize that this President is faced with the most threatening political and policy issues encountered since Franklin Delano Roosevelt occupied the White House seventy five years ago, in the Great Depression, also brought about by self-serving Republicans. The self-serving Rahm Emanuel, he who served in the Israel "Defense(?)" Force, should re-chart his service to this country, the United States of America, so as to include, finally, an end to America's sixty-year-long financial and foreign policy support for the Israeli expropriation of centuries-old Palestinian lands and structures.
