Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Our overpowerful President...

CHAPEL HILL - Much has been made of Barack Obama's decision to appoint Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff. Some claim the appointment is hyperpartisan, indicating the president-elect intends to pursue an uncompromising liberal agenda. It isn't. Emanuel is a centrist and pragmatist, not an ideologue.

I read this in the same newspaper that FirstCav just postedfrom and thought it was interesting.

Why is it as soon as anyone post a intelligent remark or topic of discussion the people on the right start right up with insults?? Guess they ain't got anything to say that may have to do with an intelligent remark...


Rahm is an ###hole???? Thanks for bringing a well thought out response lol Like Rove was a Saint LOL now thats funny.

Back to the topic I agree Rahm is more of a centrist than he is a leftist, he just brings a reputation of getting things done, holding people accountable, which is a threat to the old school, game playing politicians on the hill.

Scary to the far right no place to hide, the right is so far to the right, that anything that comes close to center is a shift to the far left. Sad really.

What should really scare the far right is the expansion of Pres powers under the Bush yrs. All those legal, illegal expansions are still in play to be used or reigned in by Obama.

Ya know the signing statements, wire tapping, and the list goes on and on that Obama can now use. That old saying "whats good for the goose is good for the gander" OH BOY along with his Internet, text msg, community org, going on. If Obama really wants to go to the center or a little left of center he will be very hard to stop.

Now we hear Sen. Clinton maybe the next Sec. of State. Obama takes his wing of the Democratic party and merges Clinton's wing of the Democratic party and makes it all his wing. Very smooth move if Sen. Clinton accepts.

We don't know yet if Obama plans are going to work, with all his supposed lack of experience , or not. But I think we are seeing shrewed picks, in key positions. Picks he shouldn't be able to make with his lack of supposed experience.

Obama is moving with a plan, with purpose, and direction unlike we have seen in decades. Rahm is a key player he has the experience the game plan to move and shake up those on the hill who want to play old school politics...

Remember smart people who don't know what is what are smart enough to surround themselves with people who do. Obama is smart enough to know what he doesn't know and he is smart enough to surround himself with people who do know. That is what we are seeing at the moment with his picks for the Cabinet.

Shrewd picks? Joe Biden was a shrewd pick? Biden has been wrong on everything for decades.
