Congressman Rahm Emanuel will resign his congressional seat on Friday in anticipation of joining President-elect Barack Obama's administration.
Emanuel delivered the news in an automated call to constituents on Monday.
"This is Congressman Rahm Emanuel. As you may have heard, President-elect Obama has asked me to be his new chief of staff and I have accepted this offer. Therefore, in the near future, I will be resigning from Congress. ... I also want you to know, it has been a privilege and an honor to serve as your representative for the last six years," he says in the taped call.

He ignored my advice...”Don’t quit your day job”.
So how much is a House seat going for these days?
If he had some bright purple hair in that picture, he’d look like one of those little naked troll dolls we had as kids.
Actually, if Obama is truely ineligible for the position, you can’t impeach him. He has to be removed.
I don’t understand what I just posted. I’m repeating what the lawyers are saying that have suits in play.
Hee, hee, like this?
maybe we need to get some heavy duty oxy clean to remove him and i never know what the heck i post so were even
I thought it was puke face
When I first saw that headline, I thought he was resigning his Chief of Staff appointment. I guees the buck stopped at Blogojevich when it came to the “pay to play” Chicago machine. Hello Chicago politics in Washington. Very sad for the country.
That would work for a blemish, :)
Like that! :-)
* Rahm is the German word for cream.
I don’t even want to imagine how his father came up with that name.....
... should be “in anticipation of serving time.” How confident he is! I guess his position is not subject to a confirmation hearing, is it?
Oh Go Oh Go Emanuel.
Your state is now corruption Hell.
Lot of things that involve Obama are really adding up. His birth record is sealed, which does arouse concern. Also, there is Blagojevich. I don’t trust that Obama one bit. His wife was a practicing lawyer and no longer is. There should of been hard questions about what they do as a community organizer. We already had Black Presidents.

The last Black President was Dwight “Ike” Eisenhower. Granted, they did not look Black and passed as White, but they are Black. Also, we have a Black president on money, Andrew Jackson, which is on the $20 bill. He is often seen as very anti-Indian. Only difference between Obama and those Presidents are, that Obama looks Black, despite the fact that he is biracial.
In the 1920 Election, Blacks were urged to vote Republican and at the time it was Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge.
Why start now ;o)
Get a jump on my new years restitution :)
I wonder how much he’s getting for it? You would think there’s been some appreciation in value in the years since Emanuel bought it from it’s previous owner, Rod Blagojevich.
