You may have heard that White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, got his hand slapped a bit yesterday. MoveOn stepped in quickly.
“The goal is to have a means and a mechanism to keep the private insurers honest. The goal is non-negotiable; the path is” negotiable, the newspaper quoted Mr. Emanuel as saying.
But Mr. Emanuel did not get the last word. Within hours, the chief of staff was big-footed – all the way from Moscow — by his boss, Mr. Obama, who is in Russia prior to the meeting of the “Group of Eight” economic powers. The White House issued an official statement declaring that Mr. Obama remains committed to the public option.
Is this the beginning of the end for Mr Emanuel? What do you think?

Help Daniel
Poll fail it doesn’t work.
And that’s not the first time I’ve heard that!
It’s working now. Sorry!
He stepped on his pee pee, but he isn’t going anywhere. If reports are accurate, he’s far to valuable to the President and his policy agenda to let go over a PR mishap. Hell, Sec. Geither survived his extremely rocky first few months at his post. Have we forgotten http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOYAuk809fY ?
He’s too volatile to last more than one term. But he is vicious enough to last one term.
