[lbo-talk] Obama picks Rahm Emanuel, free trade fanatic & welfare "reformer"

A big favor to Nancy Pelosi, who loses an ambitious rival for the speakership of the House.  For Emanuel, it seems he is set to follow the paths of Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney. SR

Obama announced Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff, a noted free trade/free marketeer, and also a champion of the 1996 destruction of AFDC and other welfare "reform."
