I like this choice. In a real sense it would be a demonstration of two things 1) Obama will be tough and 2) He will make deals and get things done. Rahm gets things done. He was also one of the chief architects of the democrats congressional victory in 2006. Obama will also be able to act the good cop, which is a good position for the Pres to be in.
