Emanuel Accepts Chief of Staff Job

Meet the bad cop to Obama’s good:

Democratic officials say Barack Obama’s fellow Chicagoan Rahm Emanuel has agreed to be White House chief of staff. One of Obama’s first decisions as president-elect was to ask the Illinois congressman to run his White House staff. Emanuel accepted Thursday after struggling over family and political considerations.

Good news: Emanuel is in favor of mandatory “universal citizen service.” Bring on the civilian national security forces!
