President-elect Obama Makes His First Appointment
Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama
Soon-to-be-PRESIDENT Barack Obama isn't messing around.
He's already working hard to get things in order!
It was announced on Thursday that Illinois U.S. Congressman Rahm Emanuel will be the administration's chief of staff.
The LA Times reports that Mr. Emanuel previously served in Bill Clinton's White House and that experience will allow him to guide President-elect Obama on legislative strategy and the workings of the executive branch.
The newly named chief of staff is also known to be tough as nails and a guy who knows how to get shiz done.
Nice.
Interesting note, Rahm was the inspiration for the character Josh Lyman on The West Wing.
And, his brother is Hollywood super agent, Ari Emanuel, who inspired Jeremy Piven's character Ari Gold in Entourage.
Their momma must be so proud of her boys!

Re: State ziti – I dont think that you should use then N word.

Yay, typical Chicago politics at it's finest…..do your research on this guy and then get back to me and tell me how excited you are. Scary shit.
DUDE….FIRST THING……..BAN ALL SMOKING LAWS HERE…DIG IT?
AT LEAST LET ME SMOKE ON THE LAWN! SOMETHING!! HELP A BROTHA OUT!! I NEEDS MY MENTHOLS!!
As the ECONOMY TANKS…the BIGGEST two day drop in US history in the stock market! Everyone who has money is heading for the hills….good luck everyone…the shit just starting to hit the fan…enjoy your Obummer!!!!
Obama better not fuck this up. seriously… he will
Re: FAGS SHOULD BE SMOKED! – as unamerican and annoying as i think Obama is.. he looks pretty hot in that picture.
Re: FAGS SHOULD BE SMOKED! – ..l..
wow…shady president elect picks a shady chief of staff…. (this guy has 2 scandals under his belt already…)
OMG you guys are REALLY high! The stock market reacted to this election and had it's WORST TWO DAYS IN HISTORY….enjoy bloggin all you can if you can afford the internet connection when you're unemployed…..YAY BARRY!!!!
haha. this is gonna be sooooo horrible.
wow…..a product of both the chicago political machine AND the clinton whitehouse………tell me how this is change??
For all the people who voted for change, you do realize that this is someone who was part of the Clinton administration, right?
Did Barack mean true change or did he mean a change back to the 90's?
What a joke! I hate this f*cker already. It will only be a short time before Rahmbo is doing his old job of getting his boss hummers.
Re: tinye68 – DO NOT TALK TO ME, EVER!
I can't wait to hear all the whining from all of the Barry Osama Obama lovers when they realize what a HUGE mistake they made by electing this man with NO experience!! It's going to be FUN!!
All us gays should thank the 70 percent of black in California who voted fro Obama but voted YES on 8, along with the latinos. If Hillary ran, Prop 8 would have FAILED….so enjoy your new Obummer, and thank the bible-toting masses who passed the BAN on gay marriage. And I am gay, and it's sad that black people would vote FOR DISCRIMINATION!!!!!
That photograph is one of the sexiest things I have ever seen in my life.
Intelligent, powerful men with morals. Freaking HOT.
Re: texanatheart – no, what is going to be fun is watching you eat your words like the ignorant redneck texan you are. THAT, I can't WAIT for, cunt
Re: LuvBritt – How old are you? You DO realize that the Clinton administration was amazing. Going back to that would be great. I'm sure as hell that most people with a brain would agree that changing back to the 90s when Clinton was president would be great for everybody.
Re: mamajud – The change is hiring people who are competent and knowledgeable. BOOYAH.
Re: State ziti – FUCK OFF ZIT!
no….for real…..we need a smokin' area in the white house………..
Re: Moimeme – Sandwich?
I can't wait for him to take office. Do we really have to give Bush his last 70-some days? Can't we just pack up the u-haul now? And, I can't wait for all the nay-sayers to eat their words and choke.
PRESIDENT OBAMA!
Re: mamajud – love ya….can ya deal with a closet smoker?
and he's also had talks with hillary clinton about leading health care reform, which she already blew once — big time
Re: lefty lady stands with President Obama – YOU GUYS ARE SO BLIND….can't you see the economy is getting WORSE after his election, even the recycling place I went to said they lowered prices for aluminum for "the economy, the stock market and the election" I KID YOU NOT! Oh well, enjoy the Kool-Aid…and hope you keep your jobs!!! LMAO

Re: sweetpiece – i wasn't talking to you, im just saying. i might be republican but i wouldnt wish that on him or anyone and im just saying. he's had bomb threats hasnt he? i think you need to chillll outttttt.
only appropriate that the "Chosen One" would choose a biblical-named person….beware the "born of a Jackal"…. in the bush of Africa, no less!!!! Come on….his mother tried to board a plane in Kenya 4 days before he was "born" then "delivered in Hawaii" 4 days later…come on! SAD DAYS for America
Re: State ziti –
YOUR FUCKING WHORE OF A MOTHER PROBABLY DROPED YOU TO MANY TIMES ON YOUR HEAD (on purpose i'm sure) BECAUSE ALL THE SHIT YOU’RE SPEWING IS FUCKING RETARDED.
ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE BITTER WHITE KIDS WHO'S MOM DID THE BLACKS LOL. GROWING UP WATCHING YOUR MOM SUCKING BIG BLACK DICKS. OR IS IT THE FACT THAT YOU LATER FOUND OUT YOUR DADDY IS REALLY YOUR GRANDDADDY ** hilllbilly music playing in the background**
I THINK YOU A FUCKING HOMO WHO HAS A SECRECT CRUSH ON BARACK AND THAT'S WHY YOU CAN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM ON THIS BLOG!!! SMH LOL!!!
I'm like 10% sad that Rahm will be leaving us Illinois-ians. I met and spoke with him while I was living in DC and he is so smart! Obama made a great choice for his first appointment. I can't wait to see who gets his Senate seat, and who gets Rahm's House seat!
Already Obama's on the right path. I'm so relieved he's our prezzie and not McCain.
Re: sweetpiece – GOD YES PLEASE
Re: sweetpiece – Pop that zit, sweetpiece!
Srsly…do these guys know that Chief of Staff isn't the same thing as Secretary of State or Defense or even the Vice President? Probably not, seeing as they were Palin supporters, correct?
him hot
Hey SHEEP! Your Lord and Savior Barack Obama is nothing as he seems. He is a globalist puppet of the banking elite. His first choice for his staff is the son of a former terrorist. Brilliant you Obama dick suckers. Check out Emmanual's father: research the Stern Gang, the Irgun, the King David Hotel Bombing in Jerusalem.
Rahm was also an investment banker after he was done with the Clinton administration. Fill in the blanks, see the connections. Link that to the Banking bail out. McCain, Bush, Obama, Clinton, they are all the same. They are puppets, and you all are just busting your nuts all over them.
Idiots.
Horrible call, do you people supporting Rham realize he is the son of a psychopath who slaughtered innocent women and children? Rham shows signs of psychopathic behavior as well.
Appointing someone whose allegiance is to Israel and not America is not the way to start things off Mr. Obama!
Re: kendoll3000 – Keep drinking that meth spiked Republican purple drank, "my friend".
He also made 16M in 3 years working on Wall St (electric/utility funds) guess we now know why "electricity rates and going to go thru the roof"
He did serve in the Israeli army.
Hope all you Obama fans own your vote when the country really tanks…or a bomb drops on your house….
Re: Moimeme – just read the news, sweetie and lay-off the smoke….you are so out of touch it's really funny. CHEERS!
Re: State ziti –
YOU FUCKING HOMO COCK SUCKER !!!!!
i'd do 'em both!
Sure is off to a good start at "bi-partisanship"
That guy kinda looks like a thinner older George Clooney. He must be brilliant if Obama is choosing him. Go Barack! Put together the team to help bring this country back to greatness!
Re: State ziti –
I USE TO BE PROLIFE - BUT FUCK THAT YOUR MOM IS A BITCH FOR NOT ABORTING YOU !!
Re: kendoll3000 –
Such a good point! The stock market went up 300 points the day of the election. The next day after Obama won it dropped 500 points, and continues to sink. Obviously people aren't too excited about "spreading the wealth." Not surprising, Marxist policies don't have a reputation for being successful!
Re: State ziti –
I HOPE YOU GET ASS RAPED BY A BLACK DUDE!
I see some action in the White House. Should be an interesting 4 years. Congratulations.
Re: State ziti – Re: tinye68 – Re: kendoll3000 – Re: GA_Dawgette – You guys need to seriously get together and have a whining party, and shout i whole bunch of racist comments at each other to get it out your systems. Geesh, shut the fuck up already with this same BS every single political post. I have NEVER witnessed such ignorant shallow minded fools just spewing pure crap. Heres a tip: Go buy a roll of tissue and wipe all that crap running on the side of your faces.
hes sexyy
Re: kendoll3000 – Snarf. Keep believing that. I read ALL the news. And I get all the conservative strategy news as well. For balance. And YUKS!
Re: Locke – Holy crap! You are right and it took about 3 seconds to find loads of info on him. Why once again isnt this in the media?
Re: luvtoread – You need to read Lockes reply and look it up, you are in serious denial, not to mention blind
President Barack Obama should get a black and white dog for his daughters and name him "change"!! cute!!
Re: State ziti –
You fucking chihuahua …… you’re all bark and no bite. BITCH! YOU JUST GOT OWNED.
Re: jefdo – THANK YOU…some reasoning in a sea of Kool-Aid
Re: Realist1 –
Amen to that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: AlanaK – ha ha … and you need need to put some make-up on that sun damaged chest of yours and call it " youthful"
Now we know how he got all the celebrity endorsements, he had a straight connection with Hollywood!
Remember when he sent a rotting fish to a pollster? Classy.
According to Dick Morris this is a very bad choice. Rahm is called Rahmbo because he is only out for himself. He will push his own agenda. He has loyalty only to himself and not to Obama. This is a ruthless guy who will overstep his bounds. He told Republicans to go f themselves..really classy guy. He also sent rotting fish to a pollster he didn't like. This guy is ruthless and a very dangerous choice. Obama ran as an outside, but is hiring insiders to run the White House. Rahm was the highest fundraiser for Clinton and worked for the Clinton White House. So much for "change."
Do you not all understand that this is the end of our country….. I'm ashamed to live here
I also like how Ayers and Farakhan all voted at the same polling place at Obama… but of course there is no connection. They all love America. Yeah right. I looked forward to 4 years of hell with Obama the most inexperienced person to ever run the white house… who even 4 years ago so he was too inexperienced to run. Oh and Biden and the Clintons also agree with that. Watching a train wreck.
…and he used to be a ballerina! nearly went to the joffrey ballet…the man is very well rounded….how cool?
Re: jilly – It's not all over the news because the elite own the news. We see what they want us to see. That is why we had a choice between two puppets in the election.
Re: Luv2Skydive – wasn't emanuel a ballet dancer before he got into politics?
Change? Hire the same old same old. And so it begins.
Re: wahoowa96 – well, at least he's Jewish
robert downey jr. ?
Smart man, will do the right thing……
ALSO CAN I JUST SAY Rahm emanuel is gorgeous!!! prerez pls stalk him more more posts!! he's in his 50s but hot!! just saw some pics of him in the clinton era…WOW. ..even hotter now!
Re: kendoll3000 – idiot! Not the first time this has happened after an election (oh yeah just cos it was a bigger drop than other times, BUT HELLO THE ECONOMY IS FUCKED ATM fuckwit). Your a complete rtard, besides WHAT GOES DOWN MUST COME UP. Unless it's you, you incompetent fuck
what a hot picture! i'd love to watch these two have sex… white boy is whispering to obama: "yeah i wanna stick it in you and move it around…" and obama is all like "yeah, i want it. make me beg" and white boy is all "yeah i'm gonna make you scream like a bitch…" and obama strokes his hot thick black cock and moans "yeah daddy, just like that…" and white boy cums all over obama's face and obama licks it like he's starving- fuck…. i just came in my pants
Re: amason08 – Are you really ashamed? Hmm, are you being held down with shackles in your foot? Seems you can get the fuck up and go if it's so "unlivable" … You people DISGUST me. Any little thing that isn't to your "standards" seems to be the most horrid thing ever. I hope you and all your little like-minded friends get ran over by a bus while Obama is inside waving good-bye. Also, I would say the country should be ashamed of people like you not the other way around, chunky.
P.S. You look Horrendous.
good job obama already surrounding yourself with the shady chicago politicians….is that how you're gonna bring about this great change for america?
Re: Realist1 – LOL love the party idea - after all, our side won and we should be gracious…I'll spring for a vat of Mountain Dew if you donate a trough full of Cheetos….
A partisan hack picks another partisan hack. Change? Unity? Hope?
Yeah, right.
Re: Realist1 – actually i'm not racist and I would not like to be called one. what the crap everyone just chill outttt this is a website for crying out loud.
Re: tinye68 – Listen bimbo, I CLEARLY replied to a GROUP of you guys, so take what applies sweetheart. And just to add my 2 cents, when you speak of bombs and try and relate it to Obama or how shit is going, is OBVIOUSLY making a stereotype, just FYI on that.
Re: Penelope Palin – Sounds like an awesome idea. Actually, I'll donate a bomb and set it @ the meeting place so like that they can run even more wild with the "It's the end of the world and we are getting fucked and bombed" idea. LOL
When did this become a political website? Too much politics Perez, it's not a good look for your site. I didn't vote for Obama, but I am willing to give him a chance. Some people want to nitpick at any little thing. Give it a rest, at least for a little while.
Funny…I NEVER go in the sun!! Have you ever heard of "photo editing"?? It's pretty awesome…you should check it sometime!! Can't we all just get along??? OBAMA/BIDEN 08'
He is going to put together the best team…I have 100% faith in him that he will turn our current situation around completely…it will take awhile but he WILL do it…all you sore losers who can't seem to find the right attitude now that the election is over will all see in time. mark my words.
