Obama: Lincoln and Rahm Emanuel
"It has been almost 150 years since Americans turned to a proud son of Illinois as their President. Early in his first term, Abraham Lincoln said, "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew."
~ Rahm Emanuel as quoted on www.change.gov
About Rahm Emanuel
- Rahm Emanuel (Wikipedia)-- keep in mind that when I first posted about Sarah Palin from Wikipedia the data was way off-base
- "The New Team"(NYT)
- "The Brothers Emanuel" (NYT, although surprisingly, chock full of typos)
- Brother Ari Emanuel (Wikipedia): model for "Entourage's" Ari Gold
BTW, check out the way in which the Obama camp is utilizing Youtube. It shows real media savvy and understanding of the power of connectivity.
And P.S.
The Obama Agenda
"President-Elect Obama and Vice President-Elect Biden have developed innovative approaches to challenge the status quo in Washington and to bring about the kind of change America needs.
The Obama Administration has a comprehensive and detailed agenda to carry out its policies. The principal priorities of the Obama Administration include:
- a plan to revive the economy
- to fix our health care, education and social security systems
- to define a clear path to energy independence
- to end the war in Iraq responsibly and finish our mission in Afghanistan
- and to work with our allies to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, among many other domestic and foreign policy objectives."
