Rahm Emanuel

Has it been confirmed yet? I can't keep track. But, if its true that Rahm Emanuel is Obama's pick for Chief of Staff, I'm not sure I like it. I'm feeling cautious about it.

I will read additional articles to get a more complete picture of Mr. Emanuel. At this point I wonder if Rahm Emanuel's focus is keeping Democrats in office and fundraising?

That reminds me of the Republican policies I don't like. I want a governing party, not a politicking party.

On the other hand, I want to trust Barack Obama.

And really, I'm just trying to anticipate something that I know nothing about. What do I know about the ways of Washington? I'm being hyper-vigilant as well because I don't want to look at the Obama presidency through rose colored glasses.
