Rahm Emanuel was picked by Obama to be his new Chief of Staff. Emanuel is another thug from Chicago, and has a vast record of liberalism. He is know for being a real ass, and has been quoted as saying "F--- the Republicans." Yep, that's real change, and bipartisinship. Anway, I thought I'd list some of his political record and political views here. Thanks to ontheissues.org.
