Zionism is deep within the American bloodstream. We need an entire Blood transfusion.
People need to see that supporting Israel is not a positive, they are not friends now and never have been.
It is scary to have leaders in such high positions say that they back Israel 100% and the average American thinks nothing of it. Infact if a peson does not back Israel 100% they are considered an anti-semite to some degree.
Even to be critical of Israel is looked at in a bad way. Imagine, If Obama did not say that he supports Israel in whatever they do, how much he backs them and that this 'special relationship' will last forever, he would never of won.
That my friend, is scary. That needs to be looked at.
I agree with you, i didnt like to here about the 100% backing of Israel but i do believe that Obama is a politician who like all politicians will say things to get elected. From some things he has said in the past i think he will be the most pro-palestine president ever... check out this article http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=8435
Emanuel is a Natural-born US citizen. Are you disputing that?
I think who he is and what he does speaks far louder any piece of paper with letters on it.
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
You keep insinuating that he is somehow un-American.
I believe his loyalties are far more geared to Israel than to America. This is readily apparent just by looking at who he is highly associated with, and how those groups think as well.
First item on the list is to drop bombs on Iran. Obama's picked up the slack and has personally said he's all about ramping up the war on Afghanistan. Syria, and Pakistan are smoldering at the edges....enter Russia and missile shields.
I'm just sitting here watching PNAC unfold, as people keep making excuses for everything under the sun....it's surreal.

Thats what I hoped for. I mean he had ties to the chicago palestinian community, he has his own diverse background.
But when you factor in his continued views (so it seems) and his latest choice for chief of staff. The true reality starts to makes its way clear.
All the hope in the world it seems, will not change the fact that the American stance on Israel will not change. Even if Obama were to show more respect for the people of Palestine, his strings will be pulled by the puppet masters to keep him dancing for it's Zionist audience.

Emmanuel should be extremely suited to running the White House.
I have no doubt about this. He will be the ultimate Chief of Staff.
But this instantly turns Obama's "reaching across the isle" rhetoric bullshit. It also means change in Iraq specifically and the Middle East in general is nothing but empty rhetoric.
People keep saying give Obama a chance, let's wait until he's in office. But his first critical decision looks to me like he put a partisan, hawkish, pro-Israel, Clinton rerun in power. Yay for change!

This pick defines Obama's strategy, and the culture that will be found in the White House. I think it was an astonishingly poor pick for the "unifier".

but sometimes it is just to obvious to see through the bullshit campaign promises, and realise what you have is just another bought and sold politician who will do one hell of a dance to keep the unrefined masses at bay while rich assholes continue to worship owls naked in the woods and play.
In short,
its not a blinding hatred for Obama, the person, that drives these responses, it is a simple inability to be "wooed" by a political system which has proven itself at great length to be a foe of the people.
And Obama is very clearly a representative of that system.

so what's he supposed to do, let Sean hannity pick his Chief Of Staff? To the victor go the spoils
so what's he supposed to do, let Sean hannity pick his Chief Of Staff? To the victor go the spoils
Oh, please. Try to have a little perspective. His rhetoric talked about uniting the country. His rhetoric talked about bringing a fresh perspective. And I think I heard something about change, too. His choice reflects none of this. Sorry if you can't see it.

This thread is good example of what the next four years will be like. Show the hypocrisy of Obama, and then the blind sheep respond. Obama is infallible.
This is almost certainly going to be true.
However, I (as anti-Obama a person as you'll ever meet), am going to give him a pass on this one. Of course this reeks of croneyism ... you expect Obama to name a complete stranger his Chief of Staff?
To the victors go the spoils, and all that jazz.
everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do
Is it a common thing to appoint staff before you're officially sworn in?
This first Obama choice seemed rather sudden and top priority.

Yes, he has to have his entire cabinet put together before Inauguration Day.
Exactly. The transition team has to get things ready to go so that on his first day of his presidency, Obama is ready to hit the ground running. The first pick is usually Chief of Staff since he's the guy that will help Obama shape the rest of the staff.
I have no problem with him selecting a Chief of Staff at this point, only with the guy he picked.

Wikipedia: On the night of the Clinton election in 1996 Rahm Emanuel was so angry at the president's enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign, Rahm Emanuel grabbed a steak knife, and he began rattling off a list of betrayers. And as he listed their names he shouted, 'Dead! Dead! Dead!' and he plunged the steak knife into the table after every name.

Obama’s first appointments have confirmed the grimmest suspicions about the new regime.
The naming of the vicious thug Rahm Emanuel as the new Martin Bormann of the regime has caused much consternation, even among the netroots or nutroots crowd over at the Daily Kos.
The naming of the vicious thug Rahm Emanuel as the new Martin Bormann of the regime has caused much consternation, even among the netroots or nutroots crowd over at the Daily Kos. Rahm is a former member of the Israeli Defense Force whose ruling passion is that he is a warmonger. In 2006, when Rahm ran the Democratic congressional money machine, he made sure that only warmongers committed to the open-ended prosecution of the Afghan and Iraq wars could get any Democratic Party financing for their races. Many contests were lost as a result. A tragic case was that of grass-roots antiwar activist Christine Cegelis of Ohio, who was defeated in the Democratic primary by Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran who advocated endless hostilities there. Duckworth lost to the Republican by several points. If the $300,000 Rahm gave Duckworth had been shared with anti-war candidate Bob Bowen in Florida, a Democratic seat could easily have been added. Rahm is also a product of the filthy and corrupt Illinois bipartisan Combine, which I have described in my books.
A co-chair of the transition team is Valerie Jarrett, who served as Barky’s travelling schoolmarm during the campaign. Jarrett also comes from the Daley wing of the Illinois combine. She has provided graft and related support for Michelle Obama’s foundation-funded operations. Jarrett is also an integral part of the Chicago housing graft community, a region also inhabited by Barky’s original godfather, the convicted felon and thief Tony Rezko. Jarrett is discussed in detail in my Obama biography. She is joined on the transition team by John Podesta, a Clinton-era retread who worked for Sen. Tom Daschle, the senator from Citibank, the biggest employer in South Dakota. Podesta also worked for Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, a close personal friend of Weatherman terrorist bombers Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
Another Daschle-Citibank retread is transition co-chair Tom Rouse, who was the chief of staff for Daschle when he was the weakest Democratic majority leader in recent memory, surrendering to Bush on point after point. Chief strategist remains David Axelrod of the corrupt Illinois Combine, who was taught his mindbending skills in the infamous “1313″ Rockefeller-funded think tank at the University of Chicago.
BANKERS ONLY: NO VOICE FOR LABOR, RETIREES, SMALL BUSINESS, WOMEN
Obama’s transitional council of economic advisers is also notable. The dominant figures here are all Wall Street derivatives merchants and their quackademic apologists and politician clients. The key people here are plutocrat Warren Buffet, Obama moneybags and Hyatt heiress Penny Pritzker, Goldman Sachs-Citibank alum Robert Rubin, woman-hating thug and failed Harvard president Larry Summers, Google spook Eric Schmidt, and Roger Ferguson, the former vice president of the Federal Reserve board. The most obscene is Trilateral Commission bigwig Paul Adolf Volcker, the bringer of the 22% prime rate of 1981 and the destroyer of the US indsutrial base. What is truly notable about this list is that there is not one single labor leader. No Sweeney of the AFL-CIO, no Hoffa of the Teamsters, no UAW, not even the unsavory Andy Stern of the SIEU, all big Obama backers. Note the difference to the New Deal, when labor reps were indispensable. With Barky, only derivatives monsters and their stooges need apply. Also notable by their absence are leaders of women’s groups, small business associations, the congressional black caucus, retirees groups like the AARP there is not even a token face representing any of these groups, all of which have a vital interest in economic policy. Read the ill omens if you have eyes to see. The Obama regime is shaping up as of the bankers, by the bankers, for the bankers. This is not the FDR New Deal this is the Mussolini fascist corporate state. [bold added by me]
WASHINGTON ECONOMIC CONFERENCE: THE DERIVATIVES BLOC VS. THE ANTI- DERIVATIVES BLOC
We are also told that Barky has been on the phone to foreign leaders about matters of economic. Let us read the tea leaves: whom did Barky call? Here is the list: Australia, the British, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, and South Korea.
Notice now who is NOT on the list. Start with the great world powers who have been snubbed: Russia and China, both of whom are bigger holders of US Treasury bonds than most of those who are on the list. Saudi Arabia, who might have needed reassurance that Barky is not a commie, are also snubbed. Forget ideology, and behold the ineptitude. Most glaring of all is the lack of any phone call to a leading third world or developing sector country, other than Mexico, which is a branch of NAFTA. No calls were made to Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Nigeria, Algeria, India or a long list of other leading states. Nobody in Africa, nobody in south Asia, and nobody in South America got a call. Not even those who will be coming to the pseudo-Bretton Woods conference set for Washington later this month. The best we can hope for regarding that conference is that it end in a stalemate, dividing the world between a US-UK dominated derivatives bloc and a Brazil-India- Russia-China-South Africa anti-derivatives bloc interested in real physical commodity production, not fictitious capital.
Obama, in summation, is acting just like the abject puppet of the Wall Street derivatives merchants and warmongers which we have argued him to be.

The appointment of Emanuel raised eyebrows, given a brusque style that contrasts sharply with Obama’s cool demeanor and a campaign known for its lack of drama. Many observers say it portends a “good cop, bad cop” routine in the Obama White House. And some raise concerns about his sharp partisan edge. Emanuel ran the Democrats’ successful effort in the 2006 election to retake control of the House, after 12 years in the minority. But he has his Republican admirers.
“I happen to think that Rahm is exceptionally well qualified for that job,” said Ken Duberstein, who served as chief of staff under President Reagan, speaking at a Brookings Institution forum Friday on the transition. “He will run a White House staff that is very disciplined.”
William Galston, who worked with Emanuel in the Clinton White House, spoke highly of his former colleague’s skills. “Rahm is the most focused and persistent person I’ve ever met in my life, and by appointing him, the president-elect has signaled his determination to have his decisions carried out crisply and accurately,” Mr. Galston says. “Rahm, I think, will also be very good at riding herd on the jostling egos of the White House staff. He’s absolutely fearless, absolutely loyal to his leader.”
i'm sure it's that last part that has his critics really going nutty. well, too fucking bad. our guy won, yours didn't (and that means you paultards, too). get over it.

You act as if its some 6th grade pissing contest when in reality just by appointing a hardcore zionist it will very likely affect millions of Palestinian lives. Before you start with the "wait till he assumes office" argument, I did say "very likely". I will reserve final judgement till the time comes.

If you don't like to read opinions that are opposed to yours perhaps you shouldn't be on a message board. Over the past few days you have criticized everyone that has been critical of Obama like he shits gold or something.
I do not agree with his choice of chief of staff and I can say whatever the fuck I like about it. There is an ignore option if what is said doesn't suit you.
