Obama Must Shut Office of Political Affairs --Kirsten Powers - NYPOST.com

Obama Must Shut Office of Political Affairs --Kirsten Powers - NYPOST.com:

The flap over the job offers to Joe Sestak in Pennsylva nia and Andrew Romanoff in Colorado shows that it's time to move electoral politics out of the White House. Rahm Emanuel, this means you.

President Obama's first step should be to shutter the Office of Political Affairs. Then he should jettison the various political henchmen -- starting with Rahm -- who've infested the West Wing and put them on the Democratic National Committee, where they belong.

Since President Ronald Reagan created it, the Office of Political Affairs has become a taxpayer-funded campaign office that has helped administrations of all stripes consolidate their power."
