The Jordan brand is a household name and people of all ages and social strata line up eagerly for the release of the latest model. Some of this success can be attributed to the fact that the shoes, from the Jordan III to the most recent model, have always started with their namesake, Michael Jordan.
I just got a new pair of Christian louboutin Puma shoes christian louboutin Pumps, and I could not be happier. My custom Air Jordan Shoes Air Jordan 11 are the coolest thing that I have seen in years. These ones are a special St. Patrick's day addition, done in bright green and white. Very retro. I am tempted to save my Air Jordan Shoes Air Jordan 6 for playing basketball, but the thing is, I just can not keep them off of my feet. Everyone who sees me gives me a look of envy when they check out my Air Jordan Shoes Air Jordan 13, because they know that I've got the cash flow to buy the nice threads.

Since 1900 Pennsylvania Avenue is the murder capital of the World, Chicago can't possibly hold that title.

I sure hope so, especially in middle east matters. The Jews do not need any more. May be we will be controlled from Jerusalem. All moslems pack your bags!

Your exactly right by comparing this new administration to the Chicago Mob-run Kennedy machine of 1960-63. Wonder where we would have been then. We're repeating history folks, in so many bad ways. I guess we don't have to worry about Biden being completely insane like LBJ.... Rahm Emanuel?

From article in today's (Nov. 13th)Time Magazine:
(Article includes description of Emanuel's father's participation in Irgun, an Israeli terrorist organization in the 1940s.)
"This is from the Jerusalem Post's account of an interview Benjamin gave after news of his son's appointment to the Obama administration was announced:
"In an interview with Ma'ariv, Emanuel's father, Dr. Benjamin Emanuel, said he was convinced that his son's appointment would be good for Israel. "Obviously he will influence the president to be pro-Israel," he was quoted as saying. "Why wouldn't he be? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to clean the floors of the White House."
In a letter sent Tuesday to Rahm Emanuel, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee asked the congressman to "disavow and repudiate these remarks publicly."

'"UPDATE: Statement from Rep. Rahm Emanuel's office (released Thursday afternoon): “Today, Rep. Emanuel called Mary Rose Oakar, President of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, apologized on behalf of his family and offered to meet with representatives of the Arab-American community at an appropriate time in the future."'

Apparently Joravsky thinks he is a genius and could run the city of Chicago better than Mayor Daley and the Democratic Party. It's easy to be a critic. If he believes he has a better way to run this city, then it shouldn't be too difficult for him to get campaign funds and run for office. Or, he could move to a suburb.

The last Republican to be mayor of Chicago was William Hale Thompson. His second term ended in 1931 during the Depression. Republicans haven't been invited back since. This alone proves the voters aren't fools, particularly In light of the second bailout of financial institutions under a Republican president during the past 20 years.

Great start for the incoming administration. It is much easier to get elected a second time should you choose to govern in such a way that neither the far-left or far-right are given much voice in our government. As I have always thought Obama is a smart capable man who for the most part believes in the middle/moderate America. Of course it would be ignorant to think that an Obama administration would only placate one side over the other but you can be assured that his policies will most likely look pragmatic today and a decade later will then become true progressive policies. He can look moderate and centrist now because our economy and our nation's image abroad has been so tranished by Bush and co. Surely he will be attacked on the right by radio talk show host such as Limbaugh or Savage, as they are already doing, but their voices become all the more ridiculous with every passing day where the average American (the centrist american) simply wants policies that are explained and defined that work towards providing a more stabel future for themsleves and future generations.

So the Chicago Democratic in crowd always played ball with Republicans and eschewed
"left wing" ideologues. I guess I woud have to describe them as Republican lite opportunists.
About all this nonsense regarding Obama having to reach across the isle - how often did the
Republicans, with the presidency for eight years and majority control of congress for six, do
that? I hope I'm not going to have to regret voting for Obama, the candidate for "change," because
he gets in bed with those who would stab him in the back at first opportunity.

And you'll notice the author carefully avoided mentioning ANYTHING about Emauel's years under Clinton. Didn't fit his thesis, I suspect.

Right? That was my feeling as well while reading this...

Ben Joravsky must have teethed on the staff of The Weekly Reader before his current assignment. Sounds like he's just bitter the Axelrod, a brilliant strategist and tactician, blessedly replaces kallous Karl. Sounds someone who admires success only when its Republican. Rahm Emmanuel earned my support during his Clinton years and is a worthy choice for Chief of Staff. Maybe David Addington wasn't available yet!

Re: Obama’s Boys from Chicago

Moses MacMeaty — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 15:47:45 -0000

Oh, hogwash. Did you happen to notice that Rahm Emanuel is going to be working for Barack Obama, the man who just won the presidency by running what EVERYONE calls the most disciplined campaign in history? Whose side do you think he's going to be on, sir?

Wasn't this piece supposed to be about Emmanuel? For a moment there I thought Daley was Obama's Chief of Staff.
