Remaking Rahm
The Washington Post notes White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel “is overhauling his image, becoming more valet than hit man, and his formula for moving Obama’s agenda through Congress is beginning to resonate. Even Republicans concede that given Obama’s early victories, thornier tasks such as landmark health-care, energy and education bills may not be out of reach.”
“The White House legislative strategy blends Obama’s vision and salesmanship with Emanuel’s granular political expertise and dealmaking skills.”
