Rahmbo the "Pile Driver"

A White House chief of staff with this much power will be the first to go when things go bad. Intereresting fact in this NYT article: The Valerie Jarrett cover story in the Times magazine section a couple of weeks ago upset Emanuel.

From the NYT: "But when a New York Times Magazine profile of Ms. Jarrett last month explored the old scratchiness between Emanuel and Jarrett, White House officials said the normally calm Mr. Obama erupted with anger. An informal edict went out: no more cooperating with staff profiles. As a result, Mr. Emanuel declined a formal interview for this article."

Must be a messy sandbox.
