Comments on: And The Beat Goes On… Rahm as Chief of Staff http://firedoglake.com/2008/11/04/and-the-beat-goes-on/ Firedoglake weblog Fri, 17 Feb 2012 06:25:30 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: henrythefifth http://firedoglake.com/2008/11/04/and-the-beat-goes-on/#comment-1713578 henrythefifth Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:10:09 +0000 http://firedoglake.com/2008/11/04/and-the-beat-goes-on/#comment-1713578 <p>The problem w/ Rahm as CoS is that a lot of people on the Hill dislike him. In addition, people hate working for him. He’s maniacal and burns through staff. Won’t do much for morale in the White House. Sure, great he’s outta the House, but sucks if Obama’s first tap is a former Clintonite who led the charge for NAFTA. How is that change again?</p> The problem w/ Rahm as CoS is that a lot of people on the Hill dislike him. In addition, people hate working for him. He’s maniacal and burns through staff.

The Sweetie and me live half a block off College Avenue and there are still cars driving around beeping with folks hanging out the windows yelling, and people on the sidewalks are cheering and hugging and crying (outside the bars & restaurants mainly). A car drives past and folks on the sidewalk cheer at them. We’ve never seen anything like this, ever. We will always remember tonight. Always.</p> It’s true, Mary.
