Rahm Emanuel [] The White House chief of staff last month expressed frustration with [Rep. Peter] DeFazio’s resignation calls for President Barack Obama’s top two economic aides — Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and White House chief economist Larry Summers...“Rahm does not yell at me,” DeFazio said, “because he knows that I yell back.”
...“I would have less of a voice and I would have less respect if I voted for things I didn’t believe in because of pressure from the leadership,” DeFazio told The Hill in an interview.
Obama himself has taken notice.
“Don’t think we’re not keeping score, brother,” Obama told DeFazio during a closed-door meeting of the House Democratic Caucus, according to members afterward.
Obama is tough on political enemies.
But on external foes - N. Korea? Iran? etc.?
You didn't think he was pressing a nuclear launch button in this did you?
