White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is expected to leave his job within six to eight months because he is fed up with the "idealism" of President Barack Obama's closest advisers, The London Daily Telegraph reported Monday.
The newspaper cited Washington insiders, who said Congress veteran Emanuel, 50, is also concerned about burning out and losing touch with his three children due to the pressure of the job.
In response to the report, a senior White House official told Fox News early Monday the story was "ludicrous" and "not worth looking into."
The Telegraph, however, quoted a Democratic source as saying: "I would bet he will go after the midterms."

“”I would bet he will go after the midterms.””
Why wait? He’s done enough damage.
I’ve read that Rahm is the most rational actor out of all of them.

The latest toxic meme to spread across the pages of my once-beloved Washington Post is that President Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is the one reasonable man in the White House.
First came perpetually disgruntled columnist Dana Milbank, suddenly a little ray of sunshine on the subject of the terribly underappreciated chief of staff: “Obama’s first year fell apart in large part because he didn’t follow his chief of staff’s advice on crucial matters,” Milbank wrote. “Arguably, Emanuel is the only person keeping Obama from becoming Jimmy Carter.”
Someone is trying to force him out by whispering these things to the press.
Jumping off the TITANIC is more like it ,,, and perhaps before Nov. as to not take credit for the TITANIC results .
If he quits... it will be because Blago will be sending him to JAIL!
LLS
As if it matters. After all, Obama will probably just replace him with Van Jones.
The writing on the wall says.....”leave and try to save yourself “ “It is the fault of others” “It is the fault of others” “It is the fault of others” “It is the fault of others” “It is the fault of others”
All that means is Emanuel wants to take the march to socialism one step at a time instead of whole hog like they've been doing.
Absolutely!
Point being, it’s really scary if Rahm is considered the only rational actor!
But, we've known this all along.
“Arguably, Emanuel is the only person keeping Obama from becoming Jimmy Carter.”
If that’s been his objective, he has failed miserably. To my knowledge, he has no Japanese DNA, but perhaps he believes that the only honorable recourse is to resign.
If the Rahmster thinks he’ll avoid justice by bugging out on his Comrade Obama, then I would suggest that we Patriots have long memories and the U.S. Constitution on our side..
We never forgive, or forget treason.
You danced the tune, Herr Rahmster, and you’ll pay the piper.
Too late, Dana. Rahm scored an epic fail. BHO is already worse than the peanut farmer.
