CHICAGO - Mayoral hopeful Rahm Emanuel, President Obama's former chief of staff, on Saturday blasted Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's move against state unions, which have triggered mass protests in Madison.
Emanuel was asked about the Wisconsin situation by reporters at his Hyde Park campaign office--down the street from the Museum of Science and Industry and near the Lake Michigan shore. Emanuel stopped at the office as he sought to get out the vote on the South Side in advance of Tuesday's election to replace Mayor Daley, who is retiring.
"I think what the governor there is doing is not just fiscal, but a political agenda. That's not what we are about.
"...I would totally reject the approach the governor of Wisconsin has taken," Emanuel said.
He added "I totally reject the notion that it would happen here," while cautioning the city would have to "live within our means."
;)
It seems that the City of Chicago has lost 200,000 in population lately, bringing it down to levels not seen since 1920. I wonder why??
It will be interesting how the blue state governors handle the inevitable as compared to the red state governors.
there should be a law against that!
Kasich, and I’ll add Palin and Bachmann, just so that we cover everyone that has some balls...
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Pray for America
LOLOL!
Hey, rahm...you are a fool and a menace to civil society. Take you stolen millions and STFU, you loser.
Let's see: crime, taxes, and liberalism (in reverse order).
Rahm Emanuel said Wisconsin Gov. Walker pushing a “political agenda”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And that thing in the White Hut? He has been campaigning ceaselessly with a national socialsist political agenda, and as soon a sa Cnservatove like ScottWalker steps up to cmtestthe ground, he has a politial agenda.
Such political doublespeak would be simply ludicrous if Emanual dod not believe what he says.His world is so skewed it is beyond ludicrous, simly deeply ignorant. Rahm has a twink sized brain.His statement idicates he is not sophisticated enough to actually know WTF is going on.
Trying to save the State from bankruptcy is political?
My post was meant to mean that we would take care of someone who has fallen on hard times on an emergency basis. I agree 100% with your post. No one is starving in America, no one.
They have added employees at a record number. She bought her own home already, works for the business, and comes home dead tired every day. She is only 25 years old. They used to get an order and ship it the same day. Now they have a 3 - 5 week WAITING period for every order.
Shut up Rahm. If Americans want any crap out of you, we’ll unscrew your head and dip it out.
The rotting smell of dead carp never goes away.
If only we here in the People’s Socialist RepubliK of Illannoyed had a REAL GOVERNOR like y’all do up there behind the cheddar curtain ....
who cares....
Verifiable evidence that WI Gov is doing the right thing if The non Chicago resident says it’s wrong.
