Quote:

-- U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel will bring a "tough-minded" and "pragmatic" approach to the White House when he becomes President-Elect Barack Obama's chief of staff, according to people who know the Chicago, Illinois, native.

A Democratic aide told CNN that Emanuel, a former member of the Clinton administration, had accepted the position Thursday.
After leaving the Clinton White House, Emanuel was an investment banker on Wall Street and later was elected to the House of Representatives from a heavily Democratic Chicago district. He quickly rose to become the fourth-ranking Democrat in the House.

It is Emanuel's combination of experiences -- plus his strong personal relationship with Obama -- that would make him a strong chief of staff, said CNN political analyst Paul Begala, a fellow Clinton veteran.

Rahm Emanuel will help get the agenda done for the Obama Presidency. He is a very good choice, and I am wondering what the cabinet will look like.

I knew Obama won as soon as they called Ohio. Another clue was when Indiana, which always turns red immediately, was too close to call. Other countries may not have known that Obama's lead in the Pacific States was too overwhelming for Sen McCain to close in on.
Iraq and Afghanistan were happy because they both trust Obama and not the present administration. Iraq's factions are now willing to compromise with each other. That tells a lot about the upcoming administration.

Iraq see Obama as someone that will remove the troops faster from the middle east than the McCain administration for McCain is no different than Bush...

The troops leaving the middle east could be what the civilians of America need....

For when you leave the middle east well enough alone...then innocent Americans wont suffer....
