This from House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), reacting to news that the pugnacious Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) has accepted a position as President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff:
“This is an ironic choice for a President-elect who has promised to change Washington, make politics more civil, and govern from the center.”
Boenher’s office sent the statement out in a release this afternoon. The Republican National Committee expressed similar concerns earlier today.
