On day two of Obama’s new presidency, he has appointed Rahm Emmanuel, a Chicago machine partisan politician, as his chief of staff. So far, he is not showing a willingness to “reach across the aisle” to solve this country’s problems. We’ll see if he continues to steer left in the coming weeks and after the inauguration, which I am committed to not watching. My irreverent nicknames for the new president and his wife–Barry and Mo. If he earns my respect and she behaves like a First Lady, I may reassess.
That’s all I can muster for now.
