Democratic insiders say Rahm Emanuel will leave shortly after the mid-term elections.
President Obama and Rahm Emanuel, his controversial chief of staff, may be parting ways. London's Daily Telegraph newspaper reports that Democratic insiders say Mr. Emanuel will leave shortly after the mid-term elections.
Differences in style between the cerebral Mr. Obama and the confrontational Mr. Emanuel are said to have played a role. In addition, Mr. Emanuel is reported to be frustrated at the inability of the White House to "knock heads together" to fashion political compromises.

Left hands ok...
The trout was THIS big!
Arms akimbo...
"...then I put my fingers in his eyes; like THIS!"

This morning Tucker Carlson was saying that during the first Clinton inaugural parade, when Rahm was just a staffer, he had his name printed on the side of his car for everyone to see.
He is still just a staffer and yet he leaks to his contacts in the press about his every move like he was a cabinet member or government leader.
Don’t believe it. All it is a missdirection from the left.
Of course Rahm and Obama don’t get along. Rahm wants to get things done. Obama just wants to opine and criticize. Rahm brings in reality and Obama doesn’t want to deal with it.
Typical liberal...you put an incompetent boob with absolutely no qualifications into office and then whine about his inability to be effective.
