Obama Appoints Foul-Mouthed Freddie Mac Crony Chief of Staff

Started by cordblomquist · 8 months ago

Obama has appointed as his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, a former director of the failed government-backed mortgage giant Freddie Mac, which had to be bailed out by taxpayers.

Looks like you might need to keep close eyes on them and stand up and raise 'CAIN' if they do anything illegal or Un-American. Can't rest on ur laurels. Repubs should have learned at least THAT by now.

"Birds of a feather flock together." A leader devoid/of questionable character is going to have followers who are devoid/of questionable character. If people thought partisan rancor was bitter under Bush, we haven't seen anything yet!

If you people believe that there is a sickening liberal bias in mainstream media, then you must believe there is a sickening conservative bias in media that stands opposed to the mainstream. This article is fraught with it, completely inaccurate, taking quotes and using them out of context, and just another sore-loser bash at Obama. Vague comments like "Obama and Manuel have close links to the failed mortgage giants...." are ridiculous. What does "close link" mean? It makes it sound like Obama was in the company and him and Emanual, single-handedly fleeced millions of investors. Get a grip! If you actually believe that Obama is this bad of a person, with no scruples, then you would be out in the streets, not on a bullshit-shilling website like this, trying to make yourself feel better about losing.

Repubs lost completely on their own, and now that "their guy" isn't going to be in the White House, they are doing the same thing mainstream media has been doing to Bush for years. For shame, and good job just fanning those flames and trying to widen that chasm. Grow up...both sides. It's the "true believers" on either side of the spectrum that are ruining this country, because they stopped using their brains. We need a return of moderate, intelligent, thoughtful, and honest statesmen in this country. And neither side is giving us that.

I noticed they changed the inflamatory title of this (and some other) posts. It was titled "Obama Appoints Foul-Mouthed Freddie Mac Crony Chief of Staff" I guess that's their attempt to move more towards the center!
