Chief of Staff Draws Fire From Left as Obama Falters


The Wall Street Journal

".....But they are directing their anger less at Mr. Obama than at the man who works down the hall from him. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, they say, is the prime obstacle to the changes they thought Mr. Obama's election would bring.

The friction was laid bare in August when Mr. Emanuel showed up at a weekly strategy session featuring liberal groups and White House aides. Some attendees said they were planning to air ads attacking conservative Democrats who were balking at Mr. Obama's health-care overhaul. "F-ing retarded," Mr. Emanuel scolded the group.....

Many in the party, particularly in the wake of the loss last week of a Massachusetts Senate seat, contend that the White House should chart a centrist approach focusing on the economy. They point to polls showing Mr. Obama's approval rating among independent voters has dropped by nearly 20 percentage points since early last year.....

The unrest among liberals comes at a perilous political time. Party strategists worry that anger on the left could depress turnout in this year's midterm elections and cost the party congressional seats and state governorships. The most recent Wall Street Journal/NBC survey found 55% of Republicans "very interested" in the November elections, compared with 38% of Democrats......"

First of all I want to say awesome blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I've had a hard time clearing
my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy
writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend
to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any ideas or hints? Thank you!

I comment whenever I like a post on a website or if I have something to contribute to
the conversation. It's triggered by the sincerness displayed in the post I looked at. And after this article "Chief of Staff Draws Fire From Left as Obama Falters". I was actually moved enough to post a thought ;) I actually do have some questions for you if you do not mind. Is it simply me or does it look like like a few of the remarks look like coming from brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are posting on other places, I'd like
to keep up with anything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list all of your communal pages like your
linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
