A good choice for the job Obama wants him to do.

I'm impressed with all his Cabinet picks; sounds like he's building one of the best Cabinets in our lifetime, 4sure.

(If you valued your life, you didn't dare utter these words unless they were true.)  Rahm set the rules, defined the message, and cleared away the clutter.  He has a head for policy, strategy and tactics; he knows how the White House and Capitol Hill work, and how they can work together.  His brusqueness is well known, but few people know how much loyalty, even affection, Rahm has engendered among those who've worked with him -- even some of those who've been chewed out by him.  He's an outstanding choice.</DIV>

His selection makes clear, once again, that Barack Obama refuses to buy into the false dichotomy, the phony binary choice, of Old Hands vs. New Blood.  He will have both.  And his presidency will be the stronger for it.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D4C48EC7-6592-4DA8-B617-B998287B7776/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
