In an early indication to the kind of presidency we can expect from President Elect Barack Obama, rumors are circulating that Obama has offered the position for Chief of Staff to Representative Rahm Emanuel. If this seletion is representative of the kind of administration we can look forward to, then hold on to your butts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Newsweek describes Rahm Emanual as:

a street fighter with a killer instinct—as explosive, profane, wired and ruthless.  Emanuel, a 48-year-old congressman who grew up, somewhat weirdly, to study ballet and practice Chicagopolitics, has generally adapted to his situation in a combative, not diplomatic, manner. As an indifferent high-school student, he badly cut his finger on the beef-slicing machine at Arby’s. That night, after his high-school prom, he jumped into Lake Michigan. The tip of his finger became infected and he nearly died. Ever since, Emanuel has relished raising his hacked-off middle figure at his foes. In conversation with almost anyone about anything, Emanuel uses the F word like a sergeant in a World War II motor pool.
