Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, is expected to leave his job later this year after growing tired of the "idealism" of Barack Obama's inner circle.

Looks like one of the puppet masters is going to ditch him before the November elections.

I like this part in particular.

His departure would regarded as another sign of how Mr Obama's presidency has been far more troubled than expected.

Maybe he’s realizing that as a JEW, he will always be considered second class. However, I don’t know if I believe this.

I think that when all is said and done that he is particularly disturbed about Obama’s stance towards Israel.

He should have resigned the minute His Majesty decided that there is a moral equivalent between Israel and Hamas.

There has to be a reason for the telegraph scooping much more than the "domestic" MSM of late.

He could always convert to Christianity. Never too late to get it right.

Rahm is a self-hating Jew who didn;t like Israel being trashed by the Kenyan Trash. I wouldn’t spit on him if he was lit on fire after the damage he’s done to the country...

Don’t believe it. Emanuel is not a Jew. He is Jewish. Big difference. He is also a Socialist like every other so called Jew in his administration as well as the media.

What a bunch of horsecrap. Our side is so gullible. Rahmbo will be part of CCX, likely in an “enforcement/intimidation” role. They just move chess pieces around, a-la Van Jones. Please let’s our side be more savvy and either post stuff with the real analysis so we don’t start posting stuff that gives folks some false impression of something monumental is gonna happen...we usually need to take a step back, analyze a bit, then post...I know, because I’ve made the mistake in the past.

Or, perhaps, there is some kind of bombshell due to come out of the Blago trial. This is an interesting development, nonetheless.

Can't wait for Daley to see that.

It just means that Rahm is involved (likely to be indicted) in Blagovich’s bribery trial for 0bama’s senate seat.

Has *nothing* to do with Israel. Sheesh...some of you people aren’t paying attention. Rahm is responsible for 0bama’s pro-Hamas policy.

Rahm is a Kapo, and most of you don’t even know what that means.

Mr Emanuel has privately expressed a readiness to run for mayor of Chicago, which is also his home town though he was never part of the Obama set and did not endorse the then senator in the Democratic primary in 2008.

That would however depend on Mayor Richard Daley stepping down when he is up for re-election in 2011.

Wrong.

Oops. Jesus says otherwise.

John 14:6
6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.

You're welcome to argue with Him.

I figured he was quitting to run for Mayor, too. It could get interesting.

Pre-emptive move to protect 0bama, when the $#!t hits the fan over the Sestak job offer crime.

Rahm is a JINO. A faithful Jew would never support an anti-Semite like 0bama.

I thought of that but wouldn’t he have more protection
if he was still under the executive umbrella?

More protection for him means more for Obama.

Not trying to be a smart alec, but do you not believe CCX, which is headed in Chicago, will not be will be one of Rahm’s “projects” when he’s mayor? Heck, the new US capitol is Chicago.
