Obama is too smart to let this happen - he's getting some bad advice

[tularetom]

from somebody he trusts. He has excellent political instincts but he seems to be abandoning them. Why would he do this? Somebody very close to him is misleading him.

I think I know who it is and it's time to get rid of him rat now.

10. Except there'll be no 'acceptance' of taking a fall for big $

A deluge of backlash and political vengeance, on the other hand?

Absolutely.

3. So, Emanuel is the Cheney of chief's of staff? I suppose it will take some time further...

for some to understand that Obama may have just been saying what he knew people wanted to hear all along

4. If you like a policy, credit Franklin, if you oppose a policy, blame Eleanor.

Just substitute 'Obama' for 'Franklin' and 'Rahm' for Eleanor.

There you go.

It's ALL Emmanuel's fault...NOT.

5. The Tsar is on the side of the people -- but his advisers are

keeping him in the dark. It's all their fault. And, btw, it's them Jews who are most to blame. Wait, where have I heard it before?

6. Someone may be taking the fall, but it definitely won't be Rahm

That's just not gonna happen.

7. The buck stops here

8. If he's too smart to let this happen, then he's too smart

to take bad advice. You can't have it both ways.

9. LOL.

Ridiculous. If Obama makes mistakes I am sure as a big boy he can handle the criticism.
