Put him on a very short leash, pull his chairmanship and change is committees (get creative here). I'd love to see him set loose to wander in the wilderness for awhile but he may come in useful once he knows whose boss. But, he's got to be a lot less valuable to those who voted for him, those who have contributed and those he has been representing (in the broad sense).

Well, there seems to be concern that Rahm is indicative of a direction Barack will be taking his administration. I wonder if it may be more a move for an effective transition with some adjustments to come, maybe not a big shake-up, once the transition process is completed. I realize that Rahm would not be taking on this job if Barack was planning on moving him out quickly. I'm just wondering if it may be worth watching for some changes in 6-12 months.

To move forward we must reach out to the better parts, the better angels of those we have opposed, but we must not compromise with the despicable, hateful, greedy elements that have taken over the Republican Party. We must provide opportunities for those that wish to redeem themselves to work with us but watch for those that wish to prevent all of us from moving to a more just and fair society.

OK, this is what is scary about this assault on a group like ACORN. The Republicans are really good at accusing Democrats and others of exactly what they are doing or are about to do. This attack on ACORN is directly connected with their fear that they will not be able to pull off a massive fraud once again this cycle.

"America" and "USA-USA-USA" are short hand phrases for an ominous element in the body politic. She could hardly say pro-fascist, or pro-racist, or even pro-narrow*minded-insular-xenophobic-self*destructive-idiotic-materialistic-exceptionalistic-fundamentalist-illogical-violent-reactionary-non*civil-inhumane-jingoistic-chauvinistic-incoherent-pseudoscientific now could she?
