29. Good question, but there is no doubt about Rahm. The jury is still out on
Obama. Personally, I still have a great deal of hope for him, but it's like a cult. He's surrounded, by his own doing I admit, by negative influences. We need an intervention, or at least some way to ensure that other views reach his ears.

Unfortunately, he has insulated himself just as much as every other president in recent memory. So, good luck!
