But then there were these words, from Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South Carolina and John McCain's frequent traveling companion in the just-completed presidential campaign:

"This is a wise choice by President-elect Obama."

Graham, praising Emanuel for "great political skills," continued:

I worked closely with him during the presidential debate negotiations which were completed in record time. When we hit a rough spot, he always looked for a path forward. I consider Rahm to be a friend and colleague. He's tough but fair. Honest, direct, and candid. These qualities will serve President-elect Obama well.

The Obama presidency - BACK TO THE FUTURE.

Tell me one more time about the two party system with distinct ideologies...

Or tell me about how the jews own and operate the entire system, whichever your desire.

More proof that the outcome of this Presidential election didn't matter a damn. Whoever became President, the PTB would be just as happy, whether they call themselves Democrats or Republicans.

And that is the charm, beauty and flexibility of the system in assimilating, neutralizing and absorbing and incorporating disparate elements to ensure that drastic swings are shockabsorbed through the system.

Like Bush, Obama will find his most effective measures are implemented via EO's. It's going to be hard for the GOP to oppose those since Bush was rather liberal with his use not only of those but of signing statements too.

It's going to be fun. The GOP will now rail against the "Marxism" of Obama, and his "abuse" of executive authority. That Unitary Presidency can cut both ways.

This happens every time there's a changing of the party guard. What the GOP defends in its own guys it criticizes in the Democrats, and vice-versa. In fact, we saw it in the campaign. McCain called Obama a "socialist," all the while he and Obama were in the Senate voting the same way for the same trillion dollar taxpayer gift to Wall Street.

IMO, McCain should have triangulated and come out against the Pelosi/Bush/Paulson bailout.

Go bombastic and tablethumping like, vellychek, differentiate, rail against WallStFatcats, cut the legs out from under Obama and his "change" mantra, bill would've prolly passed anyway, but he'd could stood out like BillyJack.

Hey, it's politics, you wanna win or what?

McCain's "JOB" was to look old and lose ... just like Dole. It's the Dem's turn to steal at will.

Nice summation of the circus.
