Just about every story written about Rahm Emanuel since Barack Obama selected him to serve as White House chief of staff has described him as the tough Chicago operative who became the consummate Washington insider. But how sensitive will the bulldog at Mr. Obama’s gate be to New York interests?

Nobody can doubt that the Republicans in the Senate will obstruct as soon as that seems politically safe. Right-wing pundits, from Rush Limbaugh to the Wall Street Journal editorial page are already egging them on furiously. But is there enough muscle behind that filibuster threat to block Mr. Obama’s mandate?

Steve Kornacki - National
Something funny happened last week: A liberal Democrat from Chicago, running on a ticket with a liberal from Delaware, won the White House by a comfortable margin. And while Barack Obama did actually win three states in the South, his triumph should do away with the notion that a “Southern strategy” is essential to the Democratic Party’s long-term viability at the presidential level.
Syndicate
What?
I think you were meaning to draw GW. Obama is trying but there ain't no way one (black) guy is going to kill the whale by which I mean corporate cronyism and a banking system that is based on gullability.
Change
They forgot all of his loyal fans adoring him.
No, This is about as much
No,
This is about as much time as Barack Obama has ACTUALLY spent doing SENATORIAL duties in his 3 plus years in office. THIS is to be the LEADER of the FREE WORLD. Lets hope not!
Barack Obama - rolls up his sleeves
Yes,
This is about as much time Senator Obama has ACTUALLY spent doing Senatorial duties in his 3 plus years in the Senate. He has spent over half his time in the SENATE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. Is this to be the LEADER of THE UNITED STATES. Let's hope not!
