Rahm

US News:

It happens every Saturday. That's when White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel convenes a special meeting for members of President Obama's inner circle in the historic Roosevelt Room. There are no refreshments or snacks--not even a plate of doughnuts or a pot of coffee as a welcoming gesture. It's all business.

I too am confused...
What is the point of this story?
It seems like a positive action made by people with positive motives, but spun to seem, somehow, nefarious.
Why was this picked up by HP?

I am still trying to figure out why this story is here:

Is it outrage because no doughnuts were served? or no coffee?

Well I, for one, don't see how they can get anything important done without coffee. I know the economy's bad, but for god's sake somebody get Starbucks on the phone to deliver them some caffeine!

Wow, a man doing his job deserves an article trying to make it sound like he's doing something shady? Where was all this bs during the bush years when they WERE doing something shady??

Non-news story. Rahm holding meetings/doing his job.

Rahm,

How about you craft a strategy to get rid of Geithner? I'm really tired of all this crooks giveaways.

He's the smoke 'n mirrors guy. Coordinator of BS.

Call it what you want. He's doing what he's paid to do. I know that you guys would love to run rough shod over this President like you do with all other Democratic elected officials, but your luck has run out. This administration came out swinging and will continue to do such until further notice.

Obviously, from the slant of this article and most others, the Obama administration needs someone to get the truth out there....the reasons behind the policies......the actual thought process.....hooray for a good thought process.....!!
The media is just so bad.
President Obama is doing a remarkable job, he is off to a fantastic start. I am so proud of him.
Thankfully, we now have a brilliant President! What a relief after the idiot bush!

Whoa, swo. We're on a blog using made up names in an imaginary struggle, and you're referring to someone's concrete leadership style as 'smoke and mirrors'?

Do you have any opinions about the way he actually conducts these sessions, the 2 kinds of sessions he uses, or are you just going around saying 'obama bad, obama bad'?

And this is based on your in-depth knowledge of his management style, accomplishments and plans for the success of this administration?

You could not be just another regurgitating Rushpuppet could you?

Took the words right out of my mouth. The headline reads like we'd all be shocked it isn't Karl Rove. It's too early, I can't stomach a whole page of that so I'm not opening the "US News" article. They'll have to start writing better material to get this page view.

This guy's all business all the time. I'm glad to have him on board. It's nice to have an honest chief of staff who doesn't mind calling it like it is while standing up for transparency. This guy is a trench fighter with ethics. I like him and I'm glad he's got the President's back.

So the Chief of Staff meets with... the staff. Good, I thought Rahm spent the whole day talking to sock puppets.

It doesnt bother you that he hasn't reached out to the base, everyone else on the team has.

Problem is, Rahm was agains the way Obama ran his campaign from beginning to end.

Rahm never expresses his political views.

As an Activist Democrat written off by Rahm for YEARS I see nothing to love about him.

Rahm, if your reading this, or your staff, its NEVER to late to address the activists, soldiers, and DNC staff. Congratulate else on a job well done. Obama's other staff are trying to recruit us to help with the budget, why not give us a prep speech on youtube?

Really? You need that propping up??? O.k. here it is: YOU did a great job! Keep up the good work!!!
Do you do activist work because you believe in it??? Why is that not it's own reward?? Either you believe in the work or you don't. Stop whining and crybabying...it's not becoming for an activist.

Hopefully, President Obama's actions are all you need.....what else are you looking for?? I don't get your post.
President Obama has done everything he said he would do. I am thrilled with him and so very glad he's our President. I don't get your issue.
