No good. No evil. Only relative frames of reference.
Everybody has to choose to act in manners that are constructive for them - at their level.
If Emanuel floats your boat as a constructive change - I'm happy for you that this satisfies your change needs.
I'm afraid I'm not satisfied.
Fear is for those who have no understanding of things. I perfectly understand the gangster team of Obama and Emanuel, their psychological motivations and tactics. The constructive right will be more than ready for them.
Obama has showed his Chicago thug roots way too early.
