This afternoon, the Sunday talk shows featured a number of pundits who agreed that the White House war on Fox News had failed.

This video composite features comments on these statements by Nico Pitney, Jane Hall, Amanda Carpenter, George Will, Laura Ingraham, and Cynthia Tucker.

Today on CNN’s “State of the Union”, John King interviewed White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. King inquired about Anita Dunn’s comment that Fox News is a “wing of the Republican party”. Emanuel answered “It’s not a news organization so much as it has a perspective”.

Poor misunderstood Ezekiel J. Emanuel.

Ezekiel, if you don’t know, is the older brother of the statist Rahm Emanuel, and recently Ezekiel got his feelings hurt.

In an interview he just gave the Associated Press, Monday (August 24th), Ezekiel said this:

“I’m completely dumbfounded. I’ve been in academic disputes before, but I never thought I’d be disparaged on Sunday morning talk shows and in the papers, being distorted in ways that can only be described as willful and intentional.”

What Ezekiel Emanuel is referring to here is what that same AP article describes as The sometimes ugly health care debate [which] has dragged Ezekiel Emanuel very reluctantly into the spotlight, as opponents of Obama’s proposed reform have seized on snippets of his past writings to bolster their charge that he and the administration advocate a system where bureaucrats — on what former Gov. Sarah Palin has famously called “death panels” — would play God, ruling on whether ailing Grandma deserves medical care. The accusations have been widely debunked as distortions of Emanuel’s and the administration’s views. Still, they persist, leaving Emanuel both stunned and hurt.

You see, it’s tough being a eugenicist. If you doubt that, just watch Ezekiel squirm like the worm that he is under this historian’s searing testimony:

Every since Obama became president, Congress has has one crisis after another [enough to make you think they are manufactured crisis] and has had to push through bailouts, stimulus, and unread bills to “save the country”. They have overwhelmed the system and citizens all over the country are now saying “SLOW DOWN”!

Next on his agenda, probably while we are still battling over Universal Health Care and Cap and Trade, the radicals intend to push another amnesty bill to allow millions of illegals already here to stay. He has already told the sheriffs to only arrest those with criminal records.

In a press release today, Darrell Issa (R-CA) chided Rahm Emanuel for his Chicago-style scare tactics.

Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been orchestrating an effort to intimidate members of Congress and Governors who raise legitimate concerns regarding the effectiveness of the stimulus, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to Emanuel saying “While this type of scare tactic may work In Chicago, it will not work to intimidate me or other Members of the United States Congress.”

“I and others have dared to bring these facts to the attention of President Obama, the Congress and the American people,” Issa wrote. “You’ve unfortunately reacted by once again resorting to the playbook of the Chicago political machine.”

In 1965, Columbia University Socialists Richard Andrew Cloward and Francis Fox Piven published an article “The Weight of the Poor; A Strategy to End Poverty”. In it they urged activists to ’sabotage and destroy the welfare system’. They said that ‘the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis and that ‘poor people would rise in revolt’. Cloward and Piven were inspired by the radical organizer Saul Alinsky (mentor to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama).

Activists nationwide adopted the ‘Cloward/Piven Strategy’ which described the strategy and tactics to use to ‘hasten the fall of Capitalism by overloading the government with impossible demands’. This is why I say Obama’s economic crisis is deliberate.

President-elect Barack Obama will meet with Republican Senator John McCain on Monday to discuss ways they can work together. The private meeting between the former competitors will take place in Chicago at Obama’s transition headquarters.

It will be the first time the two have spoken since McCain called Obama to concede the election. In McCain’s concession speech on November 4, he promised to help his former rival address the country’s many challenges. The two will be joined by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a McCain confidant, and Representative Rahm Emanuel, the Illinois Democrat Obama has chosen as his White House chief of staff.

As President-elect Barack Obama prepares to take office in January, he is confronted with many challenges. Few presidents have ever stepped into the oval office in such difficult times. Issues looming ahead include health care, Medicare financing, energy concerns, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorism threats, unprotected borders, 30 million undocumented immigrants, and the numerous warning signs that our economy is in recession.

As crises abound, the president-elect must fill key posts with a top-notch team. And, he must put the right people in the right place expeditiously. Obama’s first personnel decision (2008-11-06) was to name U.S. Representative Rahm Emanuel as his Chief of Staff, a key position for the success of a new administration. He has a reputation of doing whatever it takes to achieve well-defined goals. (read this entire post…)
