Reply #13: Maybe Rahm wasn't chosen for his views on issues but how he can get things done [View All]

And those things will have to be Obama's choosing. If Obama goes back on this election being about us, he'll pay the political price.

So Rahm really did have a huge decision to make. Obama is his boss not his protege. Rahm could be out of a job quick.

I understand that they have known each other a long time. Obama lives just south of Rahm's district.

If Obama has a completely different agenda from what we think it is, it'll become clear awfully quick. I'm willing to wait to judge this. At first, I really thought that Obama was moving to keep Rahm close enough to keep watch over his energy - and to give that energy something to do. Obama is the kind of guy who can outfox a fox.
