Difficult to do psychoanalysis here, but another possible factor for Rahm could be a troubled relationship with his father, who came to the United States from...Israel, of all places. Also, his father was a physician, which is the one of the most despised professions in the leftist value system.
Rahm Emanuel is part of the left wing here and the left wing in Israel. Many do not understand that the animosity between observant/traditional Jews and the Liberal Left Jews is a powerful one. This animosity, which includes the rejection of the Torah, is at the core of what drives people like Rahm Emanuel. A bibical comparison might be the’Erev Rav’, or even the insurrectionist of the bibical figure Korach.
The Erev Rav only followed Moses into the desert because they desired to be close to the real power. Somewhat like those who come to America to bilk it for its resources.
Korach asked what was so special about Moses when he saw himself as every bit a leader. So he demanded power from Moses and convinced a significant number to follow. Moses could do little about it until God himself destroyed Korach and all his followers.
Combine all of this with R.E’s Israeli nature of ‘in your face’ and you can get a fairly good idea of Rahm Emanuel.
Rahmmbo, with his tutu, may be a paramour of the god of the Godless..
