The COS has the ear of the prez, essentially controls Oval Office flow, oversees staff, etc. And Obama's is the son of an Irgun-gun runner with close ties to AIPAC, as well as being a proponent of neoliberal-corporate rule. Silly to vent about Emanuel? Depends on one's comfort level with such things.
