Ever notice how President Obama is both the greatest president ever AND a puppet of Rahm Emanuel?

If I were new to DU, that's the message I'd get.

1. He's a versatile guy!

:kick:

2. He cant be both? lol

I fail to see how those two things are mutally exclusive. Ha ha.

[MadBadger]

3. Well he's also a socialist/corporatist

4. Emanuel IS a master at that, isn't he? Glad you agree (nt)

[zipplewrath]

5. No

But if you think Rahm has no influence, nor any down right authority, there's something more than chocolate in your brownies.

6. He is also a brutal, ruthless, Chicago thug and a naive, wussy, creampuff.

7. Funny how a disciplined and consistent ultra-moderate is only depicted by extremes, isn't it?

It's very simple: all good is his doing; all bad is the work of rogue subordinates.

The bulk of human effort is spent in a terrified certainty that the world really isn't complex and nuanced; ask any libertarian. Relax. Join the party. Get a tat. Say "awesome" as every third word. Have hope.
