What's Washington smoking this time?
Smoke screening is an effective military maneuver used to mask the location or movement of units such as infantry, aircraft, tanks or ships. But those who have mastered that art of deception are not just those on the battlefield, but those in the halls of Washington.
Just five days after the election, back on Nov. 9, 2008, now White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel explained the Obama administration's philosophy for governing (for smoke screening): "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. What I mean by that is it is an opportunity to do things you couldn't do before." Here's how they and Congress are living out those words today.
