This one baffles me. It surely does. This man is paid 5 million a year by JP Morgan, he worked against the Health Care bill and the Financial Reform bill. These could be sold as Obama's two biggest achievements and now a man who worked and lobbied against those bills sits as Obama's Chief of Staff, the gatekeeper of access.
The left leaners are mortified and rightly so. Obama will need to get along better in this second term to get elected but to choose someone so blatantly in bed with business and from Chicago no less, talk about insulated, Obama has made a mistake.
Mr Donahue the CEO of the Chamber of Commerce said the move was a great one. That should tell you all you need to know.
Obama with visions of a Palin matchup may feel invincible, he may think perhaps so that the lefties in the end have no where to go. However as previous defeated Presidents can tell you the base can stay home. Obama is going to have a tough time energizing the base with his record. His best hope may be an extreme right wing candidate such as Palin. If anyone less scary or polarizing is nominated Obama could be in serious trouble.
