You sure do take a lot from a few words. Did you see the other parts that you missed? He is tough and brings experience. Those two things are needed in that position. Yes he will be able to offer advice on EVERYTHING, because of his proximity and relationship with the President. I do not see this as a bad thing, and in fact see it as a good choice. After time we will better be able to assess on whether it is a good choice or not. quote:
ORIGINAL: corysub I don't think people appreciate the power of the "Chief of Staff" to the President. It depends, of course, on the relationship between the two men but Rohm and Barack are close friends, along with David Axelrod, and he will be a very strong "gatekeeper" of the Oval Office. NOONE makes an appointment with the President withhout it going through the Chief of Staff....he is in frequent daily contact with the President, is an important advisor, and will have an important vote on all appointments. Rohm would NEVER have taken this job to be a "secretary" to the President and keep his appointment book.. If you think he is that kind of man, you don't understand this ambitious, ruthless, cunning, intelligent, focused, driven, politician...you don't know the man. He is Carl Rove in a tutu.....yea...the guy took ballet lessons, but he also carried an Uzi in the IDF. As Hillary once described him in a roast....Rohm is a "conflicted man"...with a seven word vocabulary... He will shake things up...and be more than an "internal appointment"....
