Who did you quote there, Sarge? The use of quotation marks indicates that you quoted somebody but I don't recognize those words.

Did you read the link? If so why not discuss a bit instead of all the flaming? I am ready and willing to discuss it all with you but you don't even mention the words in the whole thing.

Emmanuel may or may not be the best choice, but to claim that he doesn't know how to navigate in Washington after being Clinton's Assistant to the President for Political Affairs and then Senior Advisor to the President for Policy and Strategy, a Congressman and Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is facetious at best, or just plain stupid at worst. I tend to vote for the latter.
I wonder which of the four people mentioned in that article will be the first to go. I think that I have seem more about Emanuel being first but then not from the duties you mentioned which he sure did do for that last Dem President. The man did those jobs quite well but I don't know that any of them prepared him to be the main political advisor of Obama. I wonder about the others one of which is nothing but a very accomplished liar who runs when he can't handle the deal. (Gibbs)

Again, I agree with you about Emanuel and the way he performed before.

That is the way of the lefties, to ignore looking at the links but to always attack the messenger but seldom discuss what they didn't read. How can they do it when they don't read what you give them.

I'm sorry but I just can't make out anything you tried to post there.

hussein obama and his crew came into office with blinders on. They are one sighted in their target to change/destroy this country. They want chaos, they need chaos to achieve their dream of destroying the economy. It is a Chicago mafia type thug route. It is by hussein obama faviorite book, Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.

They will go forward with their plans no matter what the pople think. Look how the left wingers comtinue to support him with blind obediance even when he lies to them. It is astounding!

When information is presented intelligently as a supposed fact with something credible to support the fact then there can be a discussion. Commentary with virtually nothing is not credible.

Here's an example of commentary worth discussion. Notice news reports, not assertions, are linked to support the author's points. Also, the title of the opinion is misleading it is not ALL about Palin, so don't get excited about it.

Op-Ed Columnist - Palin’s Cunning Sleight of Hand - NYTimes.com

As it is, the article only takes quotes from phrases, not entire conversations or even sentences or about what the discussion was about. Anybody can bend a phrase to mean anything they want.

Time for me to go to bed and punch a clock in the morning. Good night.

You must not have read the article. Sen Bayh with his very telling comments.

The FACTS, like these;

Quote:
More than a year into the Obama administration, with healthcare yet to be reformed, Wall Street banks continuing to pay huge bonuses and Guantanamo Bay prison still open, that mood of hope has turned to disillusion. Obama’s policy of engagement has yielded no progress in the Middle East or Iran; the war in Afghanistan continues to exact a big toll in lives and dollars; while the heaviest snow in Washington for 90 years seems to have stymied any hope of climate change legislation.
Can you dispute any of these facts?
