Wasn’t it Rahm who said “never let a crisis go to waste.”? Well, now we can add never let a White House departure not become an “Oprah moment.” When Rahm brings up his parents am I supposed to want to hug him? Is this political theater devised to manipulate us or are our leaders such wimps that they need to share their feelings on the national stage? In any case, I can see Al-Qaeda using footage from the W.H. announcement as part of a recruiting video with the title “Are you kidding? We’re fighting these wussies? “

Obama should never have had a man with dual citizenship in such a high position. He is conflicted on some key issues, and this has caused a lot of resentment.
Let Rham run Chicago, and show Daley how to stop crime before it eats the city alive.
Obama needs Howard Dean. Howard got him through the election - so maybe he would be good for the next couple of years. Ideals is what we need, what the country needs, and someone who is willing to stand up for his convictions with the President.
Go Howard!
