Daley never mailed anybody a dead fish to the best of my knowledge, so things could get interesting.
Obomba probably has a spot for Daley in the White House.....maybe he’s going to take Romer’s place???
Isn’t Mrs. Daley very ill?
Maybe Daley is looking a little farther into the future, and is planning to retire to a country that has no extradition treaty with the US.
In the Military, they make contingency plans all the time. Some just general outlines, some very detailed. I wonder just what the heck the people in the hussein obama administration are doing during the day when they are supposed to be working.
As the saying goes, "stuff" happens - they should be prepared, at least in a general way, to deal with it. The fact that they so obviously aren't just reinforces my belief that all these people are in over their heads, ill equipped, ill-prepared, and inexperienced at real leadership. It's all been fun and games, spouting Marxist theories and discussing the "obvious" advantages of socialism. But now that they actually have some power, they're finding out a lot of accountability and responsibility goes along with it, and there are very real consequences (good and bad, but mostly bad) to their actions. Oh the horror for the little liberals who were raised believing they should get credit for "doing their best" even when they fail. Now they're finding out the real world expects real results. Watching the obama administration flail around ineffectually while their MSM cheerleaders try to give them credit for trying reminds me of the exchange between Goodspeed and Mason in "The Rock":
Stanley Goodspeed: I'll do my best.
John Mason: Your "best"! Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and .... the prom queen.
The obama administration is filled with people who are definitely not winners.
I really don’t think this took Rahm by surprise.
Phffffttt! These bastard children are just to calculating.
Perfect cover-up planning..Dead Fish needs to vacate the White House - so now the story is being floated that Dead Fish always wanted to be da mayor of Chicago...so Daly has been given his walkin’ papers to make room for Dead Fish.
A Daley not running for re-election in Chicago? Is he planning to die of cancer very soon?
Daley can see that the good times for the machine are long over... now it becomes a matter of who goes to jail. So leaving now improves his odds of avoiding that inconvenience.
I was surprised too. His poll numbers are crap but I didn’t think he would lose because no one would run against.
If we had got the Olympics he’d be staying I wager.
Boy is it ever on. Last open seat for the Mayoralty, 1947. Ed Kelly was the last Mayor to voluntarily step down. (doesn’t sound like he wanted to though) I realize I know nothing at all about the mayors between Anton Cermak and Daley Sr.
No Republican has run since 1995, the last election that was officially partisan.
Rahm? JJJr? Luis G? Out of those 3 I’d actually have to prefer JJJr. Barf.
Two years. That is all it will take for ramh to turn Chicago into Detroit. It will be a wonderful way to finally directly connect at least one of these scumbags to the damage he has done.
won’t be long before we’re seeing pictures of daley with that bushesque caption: “miss me yet?”
Hey mayor. Good to see you again. Can we talk.
Chifago desperately needs a Republican who understands reality. Daley has been part of the aristocratic elite of Chicago since the day he was born.
A Chicago Kennedy, if you will.
UPDATE:
BIG SHOCKER < / sarcasm >
Obama will most likely pick Valerie Jarrett to replace Rahm.
