Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

Obama didn't say nuttin to nobody. Are we done here, or what?

Re: Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

Absolutely. Why shouldn't we trust an INTERNAL REPORT?

Re: Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

"Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?"

How many does it take?

Re: Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

I don't think people have been questioning Obama since about day 2. It's Rahm. He did have conversations.

Re: Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

Unless the first one is "hi, why are you calling? . . . I'll get back to you" and the second is "no fuckin' way", there's a problem.

Re: Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

Yes, but what did he know and when did he know it????

Kennedy declines to make financial disclosure

So much for the new transparency. Way to go Demos!

They did the most volume, and were the most highly levered, and did low quality after 2004. Far and away, they were the biggest contributors to the housing bubble.

Urban gridlock
 

Seattle refuses to use salt; roads "ice packed" and impassable by design.......that leaves many drivers, including Seattle police, pretty much on their own until nature does to the snow what the sand can't: melt it.

So much for efficient responsive goverment administration. Way to go Demos!

Fight For Obama Pork
 

Mayors country wide are preparing to fight for Obama pork/stimulus. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/...ork/index.html

It is probably more efficient to pay people to dig holes and fill them up than do some of these projects. What use is a 4.8 million dollar polar bear exhibit? Sounds as useful as burning money, which is a crime.

Re: Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

As observed on Fox News, according to Charlse Krauthammer, yes. According to Michael Barone, no. Apparently the latter is not afraid of being exposed as a total hack, or he really thinks it is important to know why the administration elect put forth several names and specifically why Rahm may have wanted to push Jarret (the implication is we should care if Rahm didn't want her in the White House).

Re: Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

What?? You must be joking. Couldn't the first be, "Hey, here are some people we like for the gig, but it's up to you" and the second, "yeah, maybe you want to think about this other guy too."

Those conversations are both (1) likely, and (2) don't present any issues.

ETA: Craig would have to be moron to issue a cover up report, especially when they have an easy excuse not to say anything (we don't want to interfere with the ongoing prosecution). Of course, he would hardly be the first such moron. But the report says Rahm doesn't recall any conversations with anyone about a personaly benefit for Blago.

Re: Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

Before we did. And why does it matter?

Re: Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

Imagine it was W we were talking about and extrapolate your answer.

Re: Rahm: one, maybe two calls. So what?
 

Rahm's from Chicago. He knows very well that either of those statements is the equivalent of a solicitation of bids.
