    I'm actually reserving judgment on this one. It won't be too bad since a Chief of Staff is just an organizer but i wonder about him getting belligerent at meetings. We'll see (if he even accepts).

    Guy above me - A source would be nice. Ackm .... (can't spell it but i can say it) wouldn't bad mouth Obama (or McCain).

    Obama is a Chicago thug, just like Emanuel. People fell for his drivel, and they're gonna get what they asked for.
