The Betrayal

“NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE”
by Sharon Rondeau

(Jun. 22, 2010) — Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s White House Chief of Staff, is reportedly planning on leaving his position within 6-8 months and is described as being “fed up with the idealism of…Obama’s closest advisers.”

A source in Washington, DC which spoke to the London Telegraph reportedly said of Emanuel:  “Nobody thinks it’s working but they can’t get rid of him – that would look awful. He needs the right sort of job to go but the consensus is he’ll go.”

Shortly after the presidential election, author Martin Sieff stated that Obama’s choice of Emanuel showed that he intended to run the White House with “skull-cracking political toughness.”  Emanuel is described as having “learned about politics and policy on the streets of Chicago…”

Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, is expected to leave his job later this year after growing tired of the “idealism” of Barack Obama’s inner circle.

Washington insiders say he will quit within six to eight months in frustration at their unwillingness to “bang heads together” to get policy pushed through.

Mr Emanuel, 50, enjoys a good working relationship with Mr Obama but they are understood to have reached an understanding that differences over style mean he will serve only half the full four-year term.

Friends say he is also worried about burnout and losing touch with his young family due to the pressure of one of most high profile jobs in US politics.

Did Emanuel’s link to oil company compromise efforts to regulate it?
By Jerome R. Corsi
© 2010 WorldNetDaily

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, WND has learned, lived rent-free in Washington, D.C., for years, thanks in part to a friend under contract with oil giant BP.

While the White House approaches “day 50″ of the environmental disaster caused by an explosion on BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig, unable yet to stop the flowing crude in the Gulf, several media sources have questioned the administration’s efforts to regulate BP prior to the incident.

Oath Keepers published

By Stewart Rhodes

So says the NY Times.

Comment from Stewart Rhodes: Folks, this is what I have been expecting and dreading: This is the next phase in the “war on terrorism” being turned inward on us. Notice how there is no mention of Obama wanting to use “preventive detention” on only non-citizen foreigners. I’ll have more to say on the other side. - Stewart

Obama Is Said to Consider Preventive Detention Plan

By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

WASHINGTON — President Obama told human rights advocates at the White House on Wednesday that he was mulling the need for a “preventive detention” system that would establish a legal basis for the United States to incarcerate terrorism suspects who are deemed a threat to national security but cannot be tried, two participants in the private session said.

The discussion, in a 90-minute meeting in the Cabinet Room that included Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and other top administration officials, came on the eve of a much-anticipated speech Mr. Obama is to give Thursday on a number of thorny national security matters, including his promise to close the detention center at the naval base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

Ex-Clinton aide now promises to loosen rules as Obama chief of staff
By Paul Sperry

A former INS official who attended meetings with Rahm Emanuel when Emanuel was a White House aide says the hard-charging Democrat relaxed rules to naturalize even criminal immigrants and secure their votes for President Clinton ahead of the 1996 presidential election.

President-elect Barack Obama, who has chosen Emanuel to run White House operations as his chief of staff, has promised to sign legislation that loosens immigration and puts even illegal aliens on a fast track to citizenship.

Emanuel coordinated with Hispanic community organizers in Chicago to rubberstamp immigrants for citizenship, the INS official said in an exclusive interview with WND.

It turns out the long-time Chicago political operative was the behind-the-scenes catalyst for Citizenship USA, a project run out of then-Vice President Al Gore’s office.
