"Maybe Rahm Emanuel is guilty of disloyalty, but he might be the only thing keeping Obama tethered to the reality-based community.-- Jonah Goldberg, almost causing me to call The NewAge Language Police - it's a crime when someone rational openly talks like this and no one arrests Oprah - but I decided to let a cooler head prevail, and instead merely filed this report, on behalf of The National Review.
The president is surrounded by acolytes of the Cult of Obama. They consider him to be a 'transformational figure' who need not sully himself with the usual rules of politics. The president agrees, rejecting suggestions that he recalibrate his Olympian ambitions.
That’s not me saying that, nor one of my knuckle-dragging, baby-eating right-wing brethren. It’s Dana Milbank, the liberal Washington Post writer widely seen by most conservatives as Maureen Dowd in drag.
Milbank wrote a column on February 21 arguing that all the president’s problems can be attributed to a single factor. 'Obama’s first year fell apart in large part because he didn’t follow his chief of staff’s advice on crucial matters,' writes Milbank, referring to Rahm Emanuel, apparently the only senior staffer who hasn’t drunk the Obama Kool-Aid."
