And about time this political bully was hit back:
Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been orchestrating an effort to intimidate members of Congress and Governors who raise legitimate concerns regarding the effectiveness of the stimulus, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to Emanuel saying “While this type of scare tactic may work In Chicago, it will not work to intimidate me or other Members of the United States Congress.”
“I and others have dared to bring these facts to the attention of President Obama, the Congress and the American people,” Issa wrote. “You’ve unfortunately reacted by once again resorting to the playbook of the Chicago political machine.”
A coordinated series of letters threatening a loss of federal funding was sent out in a clear attempt to pressure people like Issa in to keeping quiet about the failures of Obamunism. Emanuel is engaging in classic machine politics – using his power to coerce others in to going along with his scheme. This is what we get when we bring Chicago politics in to DC – it was already plenty corrupt and then we put the masters of corruption in charge.
Nothing doing, “Rahmbo”. We won’t be silenced.
