"His first choice, for White House chief of staff, was Rahm Emanuel, a fiery partisan unafraid of breaking glass and hurting feelings. The choice of Emanuel is a significant departure from the soft-spoken, low-key aides that "No-Drama Obama" surrounded himself with during the campaign. And transition chief John Podesta, like Emanuel, is a former top aide to President Clinton and a tough partisan infighter, though less bombastic than the new chief of staff.
The selections are telling for Obama, who campaigned as a nontraditional, almost "post-partisan" newcomer."
What do you mean you're surprised, Ms. "Unity" voter? You didn't actually believe him, did you?
An office-holder has the right to choose whoever he wants for his staff. But, let's be real, it's indicative of his real-world, old-school, hard-core Leftism...not any ephemeral "post partisan" nonsense.
