I would have thought Rahm could go longer.

Four at the least, the very least.

beware of anonymous sources

these rich guys, they wouldn't be the funders of the New America Foundation would they? Clemons has always been one of Versailles more adept influence peddlers.

Clearly Clemons is being used to send a message

We're not dealing with reporting, here.

But that's what makes it interesting, yes?

Strange complaint

Is Obama's door supposed to be open for rich democrats?

Never understood Clemons thinking and never joint his fan club. I always saw him as a left-village member.

Well, there are billionaires and there are billionaires

I'd prefer Soros to Scaife or Coors, for example.

And if Obama's centrism is leading him to a solution that Soros, say, doens't think is tenable, that doens't mean that he's chosen a populist alternative, for example. His solution may just be weak.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

Random term

Acronym for Known Associates. Usage example:

Bud parked three blocks over, walked up to the squadroom. No Exley, every desk occupied: men talking into phones, taking notes. A giant bulletin boar-d all Nite Owl--paper six inches thick. Two women at a table, a switchboard behind them, a sign by their feet: "R&I/DMV Requests." Bud went over, talked over phone noise. "I'm on the Cathcart check, and I want all you can get me, known associates, the works. This clown was popped twice for statch rape. I want full details on the complainants, plus current addresses. He had three pimping rousts, no convictions, and I want you to check all the local city and county vice squads to see if he's got a file. If he does, I want names on the girls he was running. If you get names, get DOBs and run them back through R&I, DMV, City/County Parole, the Woman's Jail. "Details". You got it?"
