The swift decision by President-elect Barack Obama to name Illinois Congressman Rahm Emanuel as his White House Chief of Staff brings into the West Wing a true Democratic loyalist who has Obama's ear on the major policy issues of our day. With former experience in the Clinton White House, the investment banking world, and Congress, he has seen both the best and the worst of the political and financial worlds, and what the inner workings of Congress and the Executive Branch are.
He is also not afraid of building bridges with the other side of the aisle, a task which Obama must achieve for everyone's sake. And, if worst comes to worst, he is also not afraid of a fight. He knows how to take punches, and how to throw them. He is a man who will help Obama get things done.
