Rahm Ripped for Abandoning Obama

Chicago mayoral hopeful Carol Moseley Braun slammed rival Rahm Emanuel for "abandoning" President Obama after "pushing policies that led to the biggest Democratic Party political loss in 27 years," the Chicago Sun Times reports.

Said Braun: "He left the president holding the bag... If Rahm abandoned the president of the United States, what makes anybody think he'll stick by regular Chicagoans?"

2. LOL

Oops. Fixed. Thanks.

3. Wait a minute. The liberal candidate is angry Rahm left the President?

facepalm

[rhett o rick]

7. No Dave. She is angry that he still thinks he deserves to be mayor. She thinks he should shoulder

the responsibly for taking the popularity of Obama that Howard Dean built and trashing it in 2 years.

[dave29]

14. So only Dean and or Rahm are responsible for the success and or failure of Obama?

I'm getting seriously lost in people's pet personalities here

[rhett o rick]

17. Oh how you love to put words into other people's mouths. Here's some words you can quote

"Fuck Rahm and his DLC horse".

[pacalo]

13. Rahm's experience in campaign strategy is part of it; the fact that he was

wrapped up in his own ambitions instead of the country's needs was another point.

4. It sounds a lot like she's saying OBAMA's policies

(many of which were pushed by Rahm) were responsible for the biggest Democratic Party political loss in 27 years.

[DCKit]

5. She's not wrong.

But anything that gets Rahm out of the White House is good in my book.

[Carolina]

24. out of the white house, out of public office

anywhere in the nation PERIOD... In that sense I agree with Carol

Obama chose Rahm and other DLC scum, but let Carol kick him to the curb as a loser/diserter/has-been that he is by any means possible!

[femrap]

6. Go get him, Carol!!!! nt

[rhett o rick]

8. Thanks a lot Rahmbo for the lousy midterms. Not that you care. nm

9. Good for Carol MoseleyBraun!

Rahm needs to go away

[QC]

10. Rahm played an integral role in the 1994 losses as well.

He's got quite a record.

[JVS]

11. Nice

[HereSince1628]

12. Sweet.

Go Carol, give the Rahmster a shellacking!

[bigtree]

15. she was a disappointment

I don't know where she has room to talk.

[indepat]

16. Rip his arse evermore into political oblivion

:applause:

[Mimosa]

18. Braun is right on this one

I predicted Rahm would be about as much help to Obama as Iago was to Othello.

[Blue_Tires]

19. ttt

[joeybee12]

20. Rham-doh! is incompetent, only ability is being able to fool people into thinking

he's competent.

[tritsofme]

21. It is easy pickings for Rahm if this is his main competition. nt

[janet118]

22. When Obama picked Rahm as his Chief of Staff . . .

I was overcome with nausea. Emanuel is a shill for the Democratic Leadership Council which is the main hangout for Blue Dogs. This so-called "centrist" organization caves in to Republicans and big money before they even ask for anything. Rahm should change his name to DINO.

That said, Obama chose him and Summers and Geithner and the rest of the crew that gave us no public option to keep insurance companies in check and refused to cap bonuses for financial institutions that took bailouts. Yuk. What was he thinking? Now the rats are jumping ship. Go figure.

[Warren Stupidity]

23. I sincerely hope Rahm gets an ass kicking. nt.
