WASHINGTON D.C., (Fortune) -- On a wretchedly hot August day outside the Caterpillar tractor plant in Montgomery, Ill., President Bush and the state's congressional delegation gather for the signing of the massive transportation bill. This is 2005, the calm before the Katrina storm, and a rigorous mountain-biking schedule has the President in top shape.
In off-camera chitchat with the shirt-sleeved lawmakers, Bush takes note of Democratic Congressman Rahm Emanuel's deep tan, prompting the 46-year-old Emanuel to boast about the miles of swimming and biking in his triathlon training schedule.

RAHM EMMANUEL IS A TAX DODGER
He declared his Chicago home to be the hQ of a charitable foundation so he pays no property tax
pass this along at every mention of this great anticapitalist egalitarian
Where are the republicans calling Obama out on his pick?
Hiding again I see.
“Where are the republicans calling Obama out on his pick?

Obama’s peeps could give a poop less that Emanuel pays no property taxes. They are gleefull that he is “sticking it to the man.”
Let me call him out. Emanuel is Jewish, and chosen as a symbol and cover for Obama. It’s designed to make the world think there is “balance” in Obama, and that he’s not really an enemy of Israel.
I have chatted in alot of rooms with Obama supporters. They don’t support Israel and yet the Jews continue with their support of democrats. I know they are the chosen people but damn even God has to have his limits for stupidity.
They are ‘chosen’ in the sense that the Hope of the world (not Obama) would come through them. And He did come to earth in the form of a man - to live a perfect life in our place, so that we (the unholy) can stand before a Holy God in that day.
0bama is putting in place all of the weapons he fully intends to use on his battlefield.
We best prepare to NOT show up to a gunfight with a knife.
He's a jerk, but he's pro-Israel, gave up his Israeli citizenship when he was 18, and was a civilian volunteer during the first Gulf War.
He declared his Chicago home to be the hQ of a charitable foundation so he pays no property tax
The Cook County assessor got wind of this claim and refuted it. They say he paid 13k in taxes on his double lot (which didn't show up easily on the tax records web site).
I won’t believe what “Cook County” says until it is posted officially.
Pro-Israel and gave up his Israeli citizenship? Hhmmm...
First time I looked at him I said he is Gay. I havent heard him talk yet though.
He was born in America, what's wrong with giving up his citizenship? One of those things where you're wrong no matter what you do.
I can’t stand R. Emanuel, but I will say this, the GOP could use their own jackass who isn’t afraid to go for the jugular.
Absolutely nothing wrong... just inconsistent... maybe?
It's a one time decision. If he hadn't, he'd have been obligated to serve in the IDF, and couldn't renounce his citizenship for decades, until his IDF obligation had expired. Lots of countries have policies like that, including the US, though informally.
