"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.."

"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

For more political videos, head to www.wsj.com/video. Rahm Emanuel, chief of staff for president-elect Barack Obama, outlines the opportunities for bipartisan reform that he says the financial crisis presents at the Wall Street Journal CEO Council in Washington, D.C. (Nov. 19)]


P.S.

Now Rahm Emanuel is mayor of Chicago, and the Brother of the previous mayor, William M. Daley (replacing Emanuel) is Obama's White House Chief of Staff... Nothing is wasted. Especially the Crises.
