Emanuel: White House not ‘amateur hour’
Washington Times
Defending the White House in the wake of Sen. Judd Gregg’s withdrawal as Commerce Secretary, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said it is not “amateur hour” and that the Obama administration is still doing better than President Clinton was at this point.
“Some may call it amateur hour. Having been in two separate White Houses, I’m more than — and within our third week given this set of accomplishments — measure them up,” said Mr. Emanuel, who served as a senior adviser in the Clinton White House from 1993 to 1998.
Mr. Gregg, New Hampshire Republican, withdrew his nomination nine days after it was announced. The senator cited “irresolvable conflicts” over their conflicting positions on the economic recovery bill and on operations for the 2010 Census.
Mr. Emanuel said winning passage of the $789 billion recovery spending bill — Congress is rushing to beat a weekend deadline for getting the bill to Mr. Obama — will overshadow the bumps.
“I think the president has always indicated there will be days where there are setbacks, days where there will be disappointments, but as long as we’re moving forward those will be bright days not just for us but in fact the American people, he said. “Let’s be honest: will the economic recovery or Judd Gregg be a bigger discussion point a week from now?”
Wild Thing’s comment……..
BAWHAHAHAHA,,,,oh dear…HAHAHAHAH
LMAO ah poor baby, he does not like being told NO. And in such a public way too. Well a big ole Neaner Neaner on you Rahm you jerk.
“White House not ‘amateur hour’”
OH ok …Try “Year of the commies…”
They control the house, senate and the white house. and the are still having trouble getting bills passed. the ones they do are only done through lies and deceit. Add into that how many have had to pull out due to not paying taxes, corruuption ( Richardson pay to play) etc. hahaha
Make my Friday Rahm and thank you ever so !
Heh Heh, Gibbs looks like he’s thinking “Dear God please just get me away from this a$$hole. I’ll just click my heels three times, there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home…”
Bombs Away Baby:
! Community activist is president
! No valid birth certificate
! No valid birthplace nor age
! Voted “Present” in the U.S.S.R. Senate
! Denies his white mother’s race by calling a zebra black…
Doing better than Clinton at this point ? Yea, I suppose when we haven’t heard from Hillary in over a month that is saying something. But the ‘Felon’ was handicapped he was married to that skank.
Doing better than Clinton at this point,…Thats suppose to be a comparison …Unbelievable.
Finally, a member of the Senate Republicans can attest to what it is like to actually grow a pair. At least for now.
As darth says, a symbolic bi-partisian stooge for the democrats.
JohnE PFC U.S. Army, LMAO he sure does look like that.
drstrangeloveb52isok, telling list, and all good points too. Time travel back to years ago and someone saying all those things would be the person in the Oval Office I would have thought they were crazy.
Mark, hahhaa yes some comparison.
Mark, exaclty, I would think when one of these on our side stands up to Obama and his ilk they would feel good about it, even with the attacks. Like Rush says, when he is being attacked he knows he is speaking the truth.
