I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians. ~ Charles de Gaulle

Holy shit! His first choice as President is Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff?? The guy is a ruthless (albiet brilliant) shark!

Okay, I need to take a deep breath and put this in perspective. I guess I don't care if Obama makes a rotten choice for his White House Chief of Staff. I suppose it is okay by me for Emanuel to alienate, bully, and antagonize Obama’s staff all he wants. He won't be making policy decisions and he won't be a strategist. Whew!

I need to just step back and wait patiently to see how this unfolds. Let's just hope, for everyone's sake, that his Cabinet appointments do not mirror this one.
