#2 "Centrist with Wall Street ties...". Centrist my ass. The only things centrist about him might be his location mid-way across the country.

#6 William Michael Daley will be the long-standing successor to the former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel

a little strange. He's got two years max. I figure less when Barack's narcissist bubble starts getting really squeezed in the campaign. It can't possibly be Teh One's fault that everyone figured out he's an empty-suited pussy

#7 Jumpin jayzus on a pogo stick, a 3 fer. Not only is he a Chicago (machine) Daley (corruption comes with the name), he's JP Morgan, one of the biggest problems in terms of the government-banking corruption that's going on, and he is a lobbyist for strike 3.

Do we need paint by numbers for people to get the picture that Obama is probably one of the most corrupt machine pols to hold the office since the Harding or Nixon administration? He's turning the federal government into Tammany Hall.

Its Nixon that Obama seems to be coming more and more like, with his thin skin and "enemies" list, and use of the federal agencies as a personal vengeance or goon service (IRS investigations, SS visits).

#8 "William Michael Daley", also known as Bill Daley, AlGore's illustrious Campaign Manager who single-handedly cost the taxpayers big $$$ (and other stuff) by telling Gore to 'stick it out' when Uncle Al already had called Bush to concede before the Florida vote recount. Based on Daley's promptings, Sr. Gore decided to go for the recount. It was the "Chicago Way" after all.

#10 Hey, OldSpook, leave Tricky Dick out of this. He was a saint compared to his predecessor Lyndon Bull$|t Johnson. And then there's LBJ's predecessor John Frickin' Kennedy who won the 1960 with the help of none other than the Daley's of Chicago.
