Does anybody here STILL trust Rahm? if so, why?

I'm not going to post anything else here in this thread. I just want to know, when it's his fault that a lot of the "Democrats" we have in Congress define themselves by hatred of our agenda and their determination to make sure President Obama fails(which is what all Blue Dog Democrats want) and when Rahm attacks those who want to replace the Blue Dogs with Democrats who SUPPORT our Democratic president.

1. If you don't trust Rahm you don't trust Obama, so why the misdirection?

6. Let's try this in the form of a logic problem

Edited on Sat Nov-07-09 05:07 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter

a) Nobody with the sense God gave a rabbit trusts Rahm

b) Obama trusts Rahm.

9. Exactly.

While I fully recognize the fact that the President RARELY gets the blame for anything is ultimately a GOOD thing, I am CONSTANTLY amused by it.

Side note: Boehner just did the same thing on the House floor during the HC debate, "the President means well but....."

5. I trust Rahm, well, because Obama does...

...I don't know Rahm personally, but if Obama feels he needs to have him, I'll push the "I Believe" button. Until either give me a reason to not do so that is. I mean, I'm not a lemming.

10. Chris Murphy is my rep and I really like him. He has been great and for the public option.

He even sent me an email telling me how much he supported it. (Joe Lieberman wrote back to me that he could essentially care less when I sent him an email).

8. do you mean do we trust Rahm to protect Obama's interests?

implicitly assuming that Obama's interests are identical to ours.

Or do you mean do we trust Obama and Rahm, together, to protect our interests, which might diverge from theirs at some points?
