If BHO's comment during his victory speech in Grant Park in Chicago about being the President for all Americans was more than an empty sounding horn, he sure didn't make it sound better with his first pick of his Chief of Staff. By the selection of extreme partisan, Rahm Emanuel, BHO is showing that his gatekeeper is one for most liberal, partisan in the US Congress.
Rep. Emanuel (IL-D) who has held board positions on the failed mortgage GSEs will be the one that determines BHO's agenda, access, and availability. All these under Rep. Emanuel's control will signal to the Republicans that they might as well stay home and vote via the internet. The Congressional legislative agenda of the BHO White House is going to very skewed to the LEFT.
Now let's look at the LOUC of this choice:
- The Republicans are going to be scared into action.
- The leftist agenda for 2008-2010 may backfire and the voters hand BHO a reduced SMDC in 2010
There are always LOUCs from every political decision.
