He's more about what's politically possible than in changing what's considered possible.<BR/><BR/>We've kind of gone there before, but I do not expect the GOP to even consider playing nice with Obama. It's not who they are. The president will need a COS who's a scrappy fighter with experience dealing with Congress, and Emanuel fits that bill. If it turns out that he has turned over a new leaf I will be severely disappointed. But if John Boehner is having fits over this appointment, I'm in favor of it.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879674319068543589noreply@blogger.com
