“ Correct, somebody made me aware of it, that when the United States wants to pressure Israel they'll send a Jewish diplomat like Abe Sofer who cannot be accused of being anti-Israel. One good thing might come from this election is, that the world will see that Israel isn't the problem, but that the Arabs don't want peace. He'll force on Israel new treaties but in the end the Arabs won't honor their agreements and we'll be back to square one, which is better then square two. ”

“ Number 2 and 3 you have as much basis for your statement than I have for the existence of martians ”

“ Emanuel is a known self hating Jew. ”

“ You think it will matter if the world is shown the truth? ”

“ There seems to be nothing Obama can do to prove to the oylom that he's a fair person who doesn't hate Jews. What should he do, donate to Yeshivas? ”

“ I'd like to make all commentaries aware that "more or less" Hashem still kind of has control over the events in the world. I seem to recall that Kissinger was also heralded as a threat to our security. Maybe Hashem is setting the stage for Moshiach by having an openly involved Jew in such a position. I'm sure that the people of Persia were upset when Nehemia became the Chief of Staff of King Darius. The result of that was the building of the Bayis Sheini. Who knows? Martin Luther King said "I have a dream" and it became fact yesterday. I pray that our dreams become factual very soon. L'shono haboh b'Yerushalayim Habnuyoh. ”

“ known? how do you know? what do you base it on?
He volunteered for the IDF? did you?

“ He could resign.

We already know who he is; we know what he said at Rashid Khalidi's party. We know he said "Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine" and that there's been "genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis." And we know he has borrowed Khalidi's phrase, "running sore", to refer to the Israel-Arab situation. (Khalidi openly said ISRAEL was the "running sore"; Obama was more subtle, but the fact that he used Khalidi's phrase is chilling.) Knowing all that, there is nothing he can do to prove that he's not who he is. ”

“ As for the Abe Sofer Part I agree 100%. As for the hope that "the world will see that Israel isn't the problem..." MA Nishtana!? why would this time be any different than all the other times?? ”

“ The White House Chief of Staff is the highest-ranking member of the Executive Office of the President of the United States and a senior aide to the President. The U.S. President's Chief of Staff is a very powerful position, sometimes dubbed "The Second-Most Powerful Man in Washington.

The duties of the White House Chief of Staff vary greatly from one administration to another. However, he/she is responsible for overseeing the actions of the White House staff, managing the President's schedule, and deciding who is allowed to meet with the President. Because of these duties, the Chief of Staff has at various times been dubbed "The Gatekeeper" and "The co-President".

Originally, the duties now performed by the Chief of Staff belonged to the Secretary to the President.[1] In 1946, in response to the rapid growth of the U.S. government's executive branch, the position of Assistant to the President of the United States was established, and charged with the affairs of the White House. In 1961, the president's pre-eminent assistant was designated White House Chief of Staff. "Assistant to the President" became a rank generally shared by the Chief of Staff with such senior aides as Deputy Chiefs of Staff, the White House Counsel, the White House Press Secretary, and others. Prior to the creation of this post, the Chief of Staff's job title was traditionally Appointments Secretary, as with Franklin Delano Roosevelt's aide Edwin "Pa" Watson.

Not every President has had a formal Chief of Staff (e.g., John F. Kennedy did not). Due to the stressful and demanding nature of the job, the average term-of-service for a White House Chief of Staff is a little under two and a half years. John R. Steelman, under Harry S. Truman, was the last Chief of Staff to serve for an entire presidential administration. Steelman also holds the record for longest-serving Chief of Staff (6 years). Andrew Card and Sherman Adams tie for second-longest (5 years each).

Most White House Chiefs of Staff are former politicians, and many continue their political careers in other senior roles. Richard Nixon's Chief of Staff Alexander Haig became Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan. Gerald Ford's Chief of Staff Dick Cheney became a U.S. Representative for Wyoming, Secretary of Defense under George H.W. Bush and Vice President of the United States of America under George W. Bush. Donald Rumsfeld was another Chief of Staff for the Ford administration and subsequently served as Secretary of Defense in the Ford administration and decades later in the George W. Bush administration.

Some have suggested that a powerful Chief of Staff with a "hands-off" president (who decides not to become involved in the minutiæ of government), can become a de facto prime minister. Such prime ministers exist in some governmental systems, such as France's and Russia's: The prime minister runs the government (operations-wise), while the president remains somewhat aloof from the political process, but personally handling policy matters. Under Ronald Reagan, Donald Regan was seen by many as a prime minister-style Chief of Staff following James Baker. Howard Baker, who succeeded Regan, was critical of this system and what is sometimes known as the "Imperial Presidency."

By contrast, Andrew Card, President George W. Bush's first Chief of Staff, was not regarded as being as powerful. Some have speculated that this was due to Card being "overshadowed" by the influence of "the architect" of the President's meteoric political rise—Senior Adviser and Deputy Chief of Staff (the official titles given to him by Bush) Karl Rove.[2] Similarly, President Bill Clinton's Chiefs of Staff were not particularly powerful. ”

“ Alas, don't waste your breath; the minds of these paranoid hate-mongering racists are closed to any reasoning. And to them Yidden who differ with them are mere self-hating Jews. They are ideological zealots withh reasoning abilities that are, nebuch, closer to how many of our enemies think than they are what is expected of a Torah Yid. ”
