Comments on: White House To Twist Rockefeller’s Arms On The Baucus Bill? http://fdlaction.firedoglake.com/2009/09/16/white-house-to-twist-rockefellers-arms-on-the-baucus-bill/ Politics for liberal newsgeeks Sat, 18 Feb 2012 01:33:20 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: warrenterrah http://fdlaction.firedoglake.com/2009/09/16/white-house-to-twist-rockefellers-arms-on-the-baucus-bill/#comment-46370 warrenterrah Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:17:47 +0000 http://campaignsilo.firedoglake.com/2009/09/16/white-house-to-twist-rockefellers-arms-on-the-baucus-bill/#comment-46370 <p>Amazing how the blue dawgs are never called to the WH to be “persuaded” to go with a progressive bill. Oh, noes, that isn’t possible. Fucking Rahm didn’t learn shit about the failures of the Clinton admin. And BTW, was Rahm an investment banker with Goldman Sachs or for another bank. Also too, his wifey is a Wharton grad so she’s probably another person on the Big Finance teat.</p> Amazing how the blue dawgs are never called to the WH to be “persuaded” to go with a progressive bill.
