The Daily Beast: Reports on a recent article in the Washington Post that paints a picture of a heroic Chief of Staff in the shape of Mr Emanuel and a political idiot President in the shape of President Obama. The background to the article is the fact that Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is not a good manager or to be more precise he does not know how to manage President Obama. One should note that Mr Emanuel is a political animal in his own right, he was in Congress before taking the the job at the White House. It seems from the article that President Obama is not listening to the advice of his Chief of Staff, this shows a failure to manage a President. At the end of the day every President needs someone who can take them by the labels and speak truth to power. It seems from the article that the Kitchen Cabinet of Obama think he is the second coming, he is not, he no Ronald Reagan. All the charisma but none of the political instinct that is develop over time, not a couple of years in the US Senate. Even Ronald Reagan had Nancy Reagan who could tell him when he was well of the reservation as to be on the moon. Thus it can be postulated that Mr Emanuel will not be Chief of Staff in the long term, Presidents at the end of the day don't like to be pictured as idiots and the Washington Post article seems to stress that Obama is tone deaf and is just reading his own press statements as if they are the bible. Thus who will be the next Obama Chief of Staff.
