What's changed since the mid-terms? NO Rahm Emanuel.

You remember, the Administration's point(less) man.

2. Couldn't agree with you more!

That occurred to me a few days ago. I Wondered why I hadn't seen it discussed on DU.

3. It will be interesting....

.... to see what the "Obama insider" books report on the period immediately following Rahm's departure. I'll give you that.

4. Less four letter words. A few more three letter ones, like Win.

Yes, it may be a coincidence, but surely, Harry Reid was more effective without him.

[Major Hogwash]

8. That's a great signature you've got there.

I've heard that quote by LBJ before.
Pretty damn funny that he was being harrassed by the mainstream media in his day, too.

5. I'm starting to think Rham was the guy that stood up to these thugs.

10. Apparently not. nt

6. The Democrats threatened the GOP

With extra work. That is all that changed.

[Hippo_Tron]

7. I don't think that had a thing to do with it

What changed since the midterms is that the votes taken in the Senate were on things that had enough Republican support to get through. START, DADT, and the 9/11 responders bill were all relatively non controversial items. And on the tax cuts, Obama compromised because there were not 60 votes.

9. Funny...I noticed the same thing. Hmmmmm. nt

11. Next Chief of Staff...Blago or Daley?

I too am glad to see Rahm out of the picture, and I hope he loses in his race for Chicago mayor.

But wouldn't it be just like Obama to go all Chicago on us with his next permanent Chief of Staff?

12. For you, maybe, I live in Chicago!

13. He actually left sometime before the midterms.
