More quotes by Rahm Emanuel
I do not believe that a counterterrorism strategy all by itself, without a sufficient level of counterinsurgency, will work.
Rahm Emanuel
The American people... want change. They want big ideas, big reform.
Rahm Emanuel
Rather than doing the kind of fact-checking that normally goes with a story, you ran with certain stories for not wanting to get beat. There's a pressure that exists in your profession. I would be surprised in any honest exchange that you say that doesn't exist.
Rahm Emanuel
You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.
Rahm Emanuel
As individuals, we will be judged in our lives by the totality of our actions. Not one thing will stand out. And I think that's how we get judged by our colleagues and that's how we get judged by the good lord.
Rahm Emanuel
No officer should be allowed to behave as if they are above the law, just because they are responsible for upholding the law.
Rahm Emanuel
Nearly losing my life made me want to live my life.
Rahm Emanuel
And it's time as a country that we have an assault weapon ban.
Rahm Emanuel
Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values.
Rahm Emanuel
I think indeed our response on counterinsurgency needs to be finely tuned to the needs of Afghanistan. This is not Iraq. We don't have a Sons of Iraq here. We don't have the same divisions here that we had between Sunni and Shia.
Rahm Emanuel
Republicans are 'bad people who deserve a two-by-four upside their heads.'
Rahm Emanuel
What is more comforting to the terrorists around the world: the failure to pass the 9/11 legislation because we lacked 'a majority of the majority,' or putting aside partisan politics to enact tough new legislation with America's security foremost in mind?
Rahm Emanuel
I think the most important thing for us to make judgments about is what can we really do? What can we achieve?
Rahm Emanuel
When President Obama entered the White House, the economy was in a free-fall. The auto industry: on its back. The banks: frozen up. More than three million Americans had already lost their jobs. And America's bravest, our men and women in uniform, were fighting what would soon be the longest wars in our history.
Rahm Emanuel
Things happened there that I don't think are the finest hours for anybody, whether it was a journalist, the legal system or, in that case of the political system, who would say that was an example of when Washington worked best.
Rahm Emanuel
I think that every country presents its own particular challenges, different cultures, different histories, different religions, different people. And different ethnic make-ups in those countries present different challenges.
Rahm Emanuel
Because of the president’s leadership, every American will have access to affordable, quality health care.
Rahm Emanuel
Banks are slowly but surely lending again, and never again will taxpayers foot the bill for Wall Street’s excesses. In case we forgot, that was the change we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.
Rahm Emanuel
Take your f***ing tampon out and tell me what you have to say.
Rahm Emanuel
The Afghan - obviously the parties will decide which course of action. The most important there, get a government that is seen as legitimate to the people and has the credibility to be a partner in the effort to secure Afghanistan so it's not a haven for al Qaeda or other type of terrorists or international terrorist organizations.
