Rahm Emanuel Likely to Leave White House This Week
abc.com ^ | 09/27/2010

Posted on 09/27/2010 6:47:06 PM PDT by devane617

Although no final decision has been made because of family considerations, ABC News has learned that White House officials are preparing for Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to announce on Friday -- as Congress adjourns for recess -- that he is leaving his post to explore a run for mayor of Chicago.

Who’s the CHicago connection that worked with the Hyspanic community, even wrote a book..Was thinking it was Rahm, but maybe not.

Hmm WHile looking for this material found a couple of blurbs that stated Alderman Mell (BLANK-O FIL) and Mayor Daley opposed each other at every turn...Wonder if the Mell’s side won?

“The Clinton campaign has work for him.”

My first thought, too. You just KNOW that ‘She Who Shall Not Be Named’ is going to run.

Sarah/Hillary Caged Death Match 2012? LOL!

“Rahm isn’t running for mayor....that’s just the cover Obama is granting him for face-saving purposes.”

The Boyz over at Hillbuzz have written several articles saying that Rahm couldn’t win the Mayoral race that people in Chicago don’t like him at all.

Here’s their latest:
The absurdity of Rahm Emanuel becoming Mayor of Chicago

Excerpt:

The media’s reporting that Rahm Emanuel will be leaving the White House by Friday of this week — and the way they put it, Emanuel’s just going to move all his stuff right into Mayor Daley’s office, no election required, as the media’s declared him to be Chicago’s next Mayor.

We just don’t see this happening, as we’ve talked about consistently on this site for some time.

People hate Rahm Emanuel in Chicago, because Rahm Emanuel is a foul-mouthed, mean-spirited, vindictive, jacka$$.

Why is everyone assuming Rahm is leaving on his own volition?

Logic would assume that such an abrupt and mysterious departure from the White House would not be an auspicious beginning for a mayoral campaign.....as the Sugar Plum Fairy would fully know.

Well, the Boyz over at Hillbuzz have got it all wrong when they say Emanuel won't be the next mayor because he's such a mean-spirited jackass.

The Chicago political cognizatti know Rahm to be a foul-mouthed and vindictive operative, but what's new about that in the history of Robert Frost's "City of Broad Shoulders"?

The man-on-the-street in the Windy City hardly knows Rahm OR his mouth from a can of beans and couldn't care less if he runs for mayor or cover, whichever comes first.

The next mayoral candidate will have the apostolic blessing from da current mare along with all the benefits of the Daley Machine, its intricate ward apparatus, and its rich donors from the financial and commercial streets of the city. Rahm will NOT get that blessing.

The only question Joe Six-Pack will have or will get excited about is will the annointed one be Irish, Black, Lithuanian, Irish, Czech, Polish, Serbian, Italian or Irish.

Rahmbo is none of the above. He would appeal only to the north shore limosine liberal crowd and the Red and Pinko intelligensia and academics who habituate the campus and neighborhood surrounding the University of Chicago (Obamas's old stomping grounds).

Obama will have absolutely zero influence on who the next candidate will be. Cardinal George will have more say-so than The Messiah.

Dems unceremoniously shoving Emanuel out the door is a HUGE signal. Rahm doesn't even have a place to go in Chicago---his tenant says he won't move out.

Shoving Emanuel out the door is an indication they know their "in your face" political game is dead.Rahm had candidate Ohaha say things like "I want to be another Reagsn" to dupe the voters.

Now voters know they were misled and they are mad.

Rahm, Axelrod and Jarrett were cueing Obama to force O'Care atrocity on us even after America said they didn't want it.

They foisted Communist Van Jones, Marxists, Maoists, the homosexual fister, and other lowlifes on us.

Remember "we won?"

The Ohaha crowd are so desperate---Ohaha and his fam even went to church (but did not carry Bibles like the deceitful Clintons).

Appreciate your input as you’re on the ground there!

It definitely will be interesting to see what happens both with Rambo’s future endeavors and the Chicago mayor’s race.

Best,

Most of America thinks Mayor Daley runs Chicago.Those on the inside know that’s not the case.The man who runs Chicago from behind the scenes,since the early 1990’s, is Alderman Ed Burke,Chairman of Chicago’s Finance Committee.Burke went from being an errand boy for Alderman Roti to the most powerful elected figure in the state of Illinois.In a corrupt state like Illinois,the guy with the most money in his campaign fund is the man at the top.In Illinois,it’s not Chicago’s Mayor Daley or Governor Blagojevich but Alderman Burke.

I was thinking the same thing. Rahm is a made man in the Clinton Crime Family. His assignment to undermine Obama to help clear the path for Hillary is complete, so it's time to move on.

Thanks for posting that link. An incredibly interesting article....a real eye-opener.....especially for chronic observers of the corrupt Chicago political scene, its history, its players and assorted characters....plus its unbroken string of Democrat mayors since 1931.....yep, almost 80 years of unmatched political machine corruption.

Naw I think Rahm is in CYA mode right now....

If you haven’t read CHicago Crime thread, you’ll get a better idea of how Rahm works. He is and always has been out for Rahm and no one else. The job after the Clinton Adminstration stint was nothing more than a pay off or bribe to keep him quiet...then he flips to BO, because of what HE could get from him...and so it goes... He’s simply singing “STAYING ALIVE, STAYING ALIVE OOO ooo ooo ooo, Stayin aLIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiaaaaaaah.....

Which conservative and/or Republican will run for mayor of Chicago? About six months ago, I emailed John Cox, John Garrido, Rosanna Pulido, and Dan Proft, and I asked them to run for mayor. Garrido is running for alderman, and Pulido is too busy, campaigning for Randy Stufflebeam. I didn’t get a response from Cox or Proft.

Won’t make any difference the R candidate will be chosen by the “combine”

There is material on the internet that explains how the Chicago Machine “combine” decides who will be the candidate and how they control both sides.
Try googling Chicago Politics and combine.

I’ve already read about the combine, since I’ve lived in the Chicago area for 10 years. How can conservatives decrease the power of the combine?

Form a base similar to the democrats...with money, power and position....Unfortunately with all the CHicago Crime...That’s now very likely...Support Fitzpatrick and not be afraid to come forward to the FBI with information.

Have you seen this? Feel free to connect dots or add to it.

No, I hadn’t seen that thread, but I’ve read many articles, about the Outfit.

One gets the feeling that the rats still with a few brain cells are taking back the party and running legitimate focus groups with those who will be voting in November.

Those focus groups are showing that the Chicago Thugs and terrorists are costing the rats big time in the up coming elections.

...... focus groups are showing that the Chicago Thugs and terrorists are costing the rats big time in the up coming elections.....

Ohaha knows now he made a huge blunder putting the Chi-mob in the WH........probably part of the deal as the puppet candidate of Rahm/Axelrod/Soros.

These Chi-thugs acted as if they were crowned heads of the "US kingdom," rather than public servants.

They trampled over our constitutional rights. They put down American exceptionalism as if it were a crime. They sucked up to Commies, dictators, and illegals.

Rahm is intensely disliked---so the Dems are getting rid of him, hoping to save a few seats. Rahm is the twerp who stood on the Capitol steps Inaguration Day and thumbed his nose at America.

Wall Street Rahm knows how to make money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watcher weigh-in. Keep in mind---Wall Street Rahm controlled all the activites at the Dept of the Treasury.

Once we take over, we need to scrutinize his involvment in $$$trillions of bailouts---much of it easily hidden offshore---wire transferred to phantom businesses, numbered accounts, interrelated tax-exempt international funds, institutions, foundations, and the like.
