Subject: Obama approaches Israeli about White House chief of staff
post

Date: Friday, October 31, 2008, 1:58 AM


Keep in mind that Rahm Emanuel held an Israeli passport and even
served with the Israeli military. He also knocked on doors for AIPAC
as a student in AIPAC's successful effort to unseat former Republican
Congressman Paul Findley just because he was for balance with our
Middle East policy which predominantly favors Israel (Congressman
Findley later wrote the 'They Dare to Speak Out' book about the power/
influence of the pro-Israel lobby - AIPAC and similar - on the US
political system and media):

Obama approaches lawmaker about White House post

By DAVID ESPO and BEN FELLER, Associated Press Writers David Espo And
Ben Feller, Associated Press Writers 7 mins ago

WASHINGTON – Barack Obama's campaign has approached Illinois Rep. Rahm
Emanuel about possibly serving as White House chief of staff,
officials said Thursday as the marathon presidential race entered its
final, frenzied stretch with a Democratic tilt.The disclosure came as
Republican John McCain, in need of a comeback, focused on pocketbook
issues amid fresh signs of a recession. "Ohio is hurting now, people
in Ohio are having trouble staying in their homes, keeping their
jobs," he said as he set out on a two-day bus tour of the state."We
have got to get this economy out of the ditch."Obama, bidding to
become the first black president, also pointed to the government's
report that the economy had declined in the third quarter. He told a
large crowd in Florida that McCain has been perched "right next to
George Bush" for eight years, and consumers are paying a steep price
for their partnership.The Democrats who described the Obama campaign's
approach to Emanuel spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were
not authorized to be quoted by name. An aide to the congressman, Sarah
Feinberg, said in an e-mail that he "has not been contacted to take a
job in an administration that does not yet exist. Everyone is focused
on Election Day, as they should be."Asked about Emanuel after touching
down in Colombia, Mo., on Thursday night, Obama said only: "I'm trying
to win an election." Then, referring to campaign manager David
Plouffe, he said: "Plouffe is my chief of staff."Obama campaign
spokesman Bill Burton earlier had said: "There's no news because
there's no job to offer."Emanuel is a veteran of President Clinton's
White House, and has made a rapid ascent of the House leadership
ladder since his election to Congress. He was chairman of the
Democratic campaign committee two years ago when the party won a
majority for the first time in more than a decade, and he cemented his
reputation as a prodigious fundraiser and strong-willed political
strategist.Both Obama and McCain have authorized their staffs to begin
transition operations in recent weeks — although only one of them will
be able to make use of the results. As far as is known, no job offers
have been made by either man.Even so, Republicans seized on the
disclosure. "Emanuel is among the most vitriolic and partisan people
in American politics," said Alex Conant, a Republican National
Committee spokesman. "Reports that Obama wants him to be White House
chief of staff undercut any claims to unity and bipartisanship, and
should alarm every voter."As the race neared an end, opinion polls,
early voting statistics and even the candidates' campaign schedules
all make it look like the race is Obama's to lose.The Democrat
campaigned exclusively in traditionally Republican states during the
day, flying from Florida to Virginia to Missouri, in hopes of winning
a sizable victory on Tuesday. Polls consistently show him ahead
nationally as well as in a half-dozen states that sided with Bush in
2004, and tied in three more.McCain's bus tour of Ohio underscored his
political predicament. Bush won the state twice, it has voted for the
winner in every presidential election for 20 years, and public and
private surveys all give Obama the advantage.Both campaigns invested
heavily in turning out early voters.Officials in North Carolina said
roughly 30 percent of all registered voters had already cast ballots —
about 1.7 million in all — and the Board of Elections ordered the
state's 100 counties to keep longer voting hours.Like the opinion
polls, the early ballot count favored Obama. Officials in Iowa,
Florida, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada as well as North Carolina
said more Democrats than Republicans had cast ballots, in some cases
by lopsided margins.Democrats, increasingly optimistic about regaining
the White House, looked forward to padding their majorities in
Congress, too, and then tackling the economy and bringing the war in
Iraq to an end.But McCain and his aides sought to stoke doubts about
one-party government. The campaign challenged Obama to say whether he
supports a 25 percent cut in defense spending that is advocated by
some in his party In Sarasota, his first stop of the day, Obama tried
to take advantage of the day's dreary business news, a government
report that consumers had cut back spending so sharply that the
economy had shrunk at an annual rate of 0.3 percent in the third
quarter. It was the economy's worst showing since the fall of 2001,
when a recession in progress was compounded by the impacts of the
terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. "Folks have to watch every penny,
tighten their belts," said Obama, contending that the downturn was the
result of eight years of Republican economic policies. "If you want to
know where John McCain will drive this economy, just look in the
rearview mirror. Because when it comes to our economic policies, John
McCain has been right next to George Bush. He's been sitting there in
the passenger seat, ready to take over, every step of the way," he
added. Obama's campaign reinforced the rhetoric with a new television
commercial. It showed the faces of Bush and McCain together in a car's
rearview mirror as the announcer said, "Look behind you. We can't
afford more of the same." In a second ad, Obama touted endorsements
from Colin Powell, the former secretary of state and chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Warren Buffett, arguably the nation's best
known investor. McCain countered with a new ad in Florida in which
Gov. Charlie Crist heaped praise on the Republican candidate. "A
reformer, a maverick, he'll fight out-of-control spending and keep our
taxes down," Crist says. "John McCain never quits and he'll always
fight for you." McCain's first stop of the day was in chilly Defiance,
Ohio, where he did not dwell on the economic report. Instead, he
pointed to Exxon Mobil's announcement of a $14.83 billion profit in
the third quarter, a record, and said Obama had voted for legislation
that included millions in tax breaks for oil companies. "Sen. Obama
voted for billions in corporate giveaways to the oil companies," said
McCain in an apparent reference to a 2005 energy bill Bush pushed
through Congress. "I voted against it," the Arizona Republican said.
