Rahm Likely to Step Down as CoS This Week

[QUENTIN]

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel expected to resign: reports

President Obama's hard-nosed chief of staff is expected to step down, possibly this week, to begin his pursuit of Chicago's mayoral office, according to reports citing people close to him.

"Rahm is nearing a decision on whether to leave the White House and explore a run for Mayor of Chicago — an announcement could come as early as Friday," an unnamed individual close to Emanuel told Politico's Glenn Thrush. "Because of family considerations, no final decision has been made."

Congress is expected to adjourn for recess on Friday.

"Ever since Richard M. Daley announced earlier this month that he'd step down as mayor next year after 22 years on the job, the question has been when -- and not if -- Emanuel would make his move," Salon news editor Steve Kornacki summarized. "The initial expectation was that Emanuel would stay at the White House through the midterm elections, the customary jumping off point for top aides looking to leave a White House. But the mayoral field is quickly taking shape in Chicago, and in the last few days, pressure had been growing on Emanuel to make his intentions clear. Emanuel apparently got the message."

As an Illinois congressman and chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Emanuel engineered the party's takeover of Congress in 2006 and rose to a position in House leadership. Also a former aide to President Clinton, Emanuel was a key player in passing the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Good riddance, he's been the Rovian architect of the worst we've seen from this Administration so far, though I don't know enough about his expected replacement Rouse to judge if it'll be a real improvement.

Better Chicago than the entire nation. Good riddance.

Chicago is city of absolute corruption the likes of which this nation has ever seen. It doesn't surprise me that Obama's filthy jew attack dog is looking to run the place.

No matter what you can say about Rahm, the man was good at his job.



He'll probably win in Chicago, too.

I think it's illegal to hold elected office in Chicago unless you're a Democrat. If Emanuel wants it, it's his for the taking. What a fucking sorrowful state of affairs.

And just how in fuck's name was Emanuel "good at his job"?

He's a pragmatist, who got things done.

He's good at his job just like Karl Rove was.

What did he get done? And BTW, where was he when Obama was shoving his foot into his mouth?

Whether or not you like the bills, he got Healthcare passed, the stimulus, and countless other bills.

What is really interesting about your dishonesty is that although you seem to lean right, as evidenced by your naive posts, yet you waste no time employing the lefts favorite tactic, race, to shut down a conversation via deflection. You know good and well that I meant nothing racist about Rahm, rather I was simply being descriptive. Worse yet, you lack the fortitude to swallow your shallow pride and admit that you could be wrong. That is a sad narrative on your character or lack of it in this case.

I actually like the health care law. I'm less certain of the stimulus and the endless bail outs, but I'm not sure what other choice we had. Why do you credit Emanuel for their passing, theDoctorisIn?

O, noooo, there is nothing racist in this post, R.C. (Dripping sarcasm tone.) Nothing at all.

Go fuck yourself, R.C.

Tell me whore, how do you type with that house on top of you?
