House GOP leader John Boehner of Ohio called Emanuel "an ironic choice for a president-elect who has promised to change Washington, make politics more civil, and govern from the center."Exactly what I was thinking plus I think he will be just terrible at this position, which one could argue is the 2nd most important position next to President but twice as demanding. Pretty much all of those 3 AM calls will go through him first.
I don't think he'll last long. Maybe until Christmas, if that. Then it will again be time for "change."
On the brighter side he will now NEVER be Speaker of the House!
Gee,I didn't know we had to check with Repubs before filling staff positions. Rahm Emanual is a smart guy that gets things done and that's what's scaring you.
