(September 24) If, as seems, Rahm Emanuel, "chief of staff" (chief of staff) of the White House, will leave the post in a few days, the "quartet" that has put in place economic policies President Obama will be gone completely to pieces. Two other prominent members of the Quartet, the budget director Peter Orszag and the chief economic advisor Lawrence Summers, have resigned in recent days, and it remains only Timothy Geithner, Treasury Secretary.
The most serious loss to Obama and Emanuel, a political maneuver of the first class, even outside the economic man who had access to "oval room" at any time. But Emanuel also had another quality of the Jewish faith, his presence alongside Obama was held and quoted by Israeli-American circles as a guarantee that the president would never have dared to leave line pro-Israel categorically that characterized previous U.S. administrations. If
Emanuel leave really soon - the reason is to propose his candidacy for mayor of Chicago - the slap to Obama is all the more searing because Obama himself, pointing to three weeks ago in a radio interview to a possible departure his chief of staff, said they do not consider however that this could happen before the crucial mid-term national elections, which are in November. The reasons of the triple
exodus in recent days become the most varied circumstances, too numerous to mention. I would just add one that no one: all starters are Jews. Geithner, which remains, is not (a former Episcopal non-practicing). So the loss is certain that the Israeli-Americans were in the presence of Emanuel at the White House is even more accentuated by the departure of two others. On the other hand, Obama in recent days repeatedly expressed their willingness to push hard for the conclusion of peace between Israel and the Palestinians, exerting pressure that the right-wing government of Israel is not acceptable. Then there is a link between the tightening of Obama to Israel by Obama's abandonment of his advisers Israelites in the most delicate moment of his career, the end of the first half of office, and fight already under way for control of Congress in the second half?
