How do you feel about Rahm Emanuel's statement:

[Political Heretic]

According to Rep. John Conyers, appearing on the Ed Schultz show on July 3rd, 2009, (and I am referring exclusively to that reported statement and no others) Rahm Emanuel told him and other congress persons behind closed doors that "the only thing that is not negotiable is success."

How do you feel about that? Does it not sound to you that Rahm feels that "winning" is more important that the substance of the win? Does it not sound a little bit like he's implying that his primary goal is a "win" that makes the administration "look good" regardless of whether bills actually "are good" for American people?

If your answer is "no" then do you think Rahm just spoke poorly? Or do you think that somehow having "everything" - all principles, all goals - be negotiable except success of passing a bill is somehow a good thing?
