I remember a lot reports while he was in the White House. Here's one article that was widely referenced at the time:You bring up a very good point. Do you know of any instances during the tenure of Emanuel where his personality did get too abrasive and did produce conflict? Because I do not remember anything like that. I thought Rahm would be used as the pitbull to keep the GOP at bay but he was never allowed to assume that role. To this day I wonder why?

He was also reported to have specific conflicts with Axelrod and Holder.
It does look that way, but it's always difficult to tell what's really going on in the White House.The whole Rahm thing seems to me as if a hockey team went out and hired a tough enforcer who likes to mix it up but then tells him to be a finesse player and keep out of the penalty box.
