NOTE When he was OBAMSA's COS, and controlled the US Treasury at the same time, Rham Emanuel made several scheduled (and unscheduled?) trips to Israel. God knows the deals Emanuel made there---so that Ohaha can get his hands on his 2012 reelection money.
Ohaha undoubtedly has billions stashed away in Israel---taken from the trillion dollar Treasury programs he contrived for the "failing economy" he "inherited" from Bush.

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is often put at $700 billionthe size of the Troubled Assets Relief Program. But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.
To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see our chart at web site. Below, a guide to the pieces of the puzzle:
Treasury Department bailout programs
(Remember that Obama's Treasury Dept was controlled by his then-COS Rahm Emanuel---a savvy, connected G/S lobbyist in the WH)
Money Market Mutual Fund: In September 2008, the Treasury announced that it would insure the holdings of publicly offered money market mutual funds. According to the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (SIGTARP), these guarantees could have potentially cost the federal government more than $3 trillion [PDF].
Public-Private Investment Fund: This joint Treasury-Federal Reserve program bought toxic assets from banks and brokeragesas much as $5 billion of assets per firm. According to SIGTARP, the government's potential exposure from the PPIF is between $500 million and $1 trillion [PDF].
TARP: As part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the Treasury has made loans to or investments more than 750 banks and financial institutions. $650 billion has been paid out (not including HAMP; see below). As of December 21, 2009, $117.5 billion of that has been repaid.
Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) stock purchase: The Treasury has bought $200 million in preferred stock from Fannie Mae and another $200 million from Freddie Mac [PDF] to show that they "will remain viable entities critical to the functioning of the housing and mortgage markets."
GSE mortgage-backed securities purchase: Under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the Treasury may buy mortgage-backed securities from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. According to SIGTARP, these purchases could cost as much as $314 billion ---SNIP---.

'Eight dead, 43 wounded in weekend shootings' Chicago Sun-TimesAnd that doesn't include all the Flashmob Attacks by more Amish Yutes on the silly white folks who thought they could go to the (free) Chicago Blues Fest held over the weekend in Grant Park then leave in safety. [The MSM in Chi won't touch these stories, only a Chi Cop Blog had all the gory details. (and I wanted to go this year -- ha!)]
Anywho, the people are getting fed up fast with the Rahmfather and he may be packing his bags and scooting out of town in the middle of night before the Torches and Pitchforks come for him and won't be around to help Barry. So Rahmbo will need any cash he's got stashed away in his 'other home country'.
And per that Cop Blog I read yesterday afternoon -- The Chi PD had such a busy Fri and Sat night that they were literally rushing from one violent crime scene to another. Many times having to leave their own district to assist cops in other districts. And that takes approval on a Command Level (Statistically, Kabul Afghanistan is actually safer than Chicago!).
So Rahm's screwed, big time, and so is his new Police Superintendent. Everything they try to stem the carnage turns into a Chinese fire drill - but they're trying to stop it the PC way so natch it'll fail.
