Maybe you didn’t know Rahm was living in DC. And working for Obama. In fact he amended his tax returns when he decided to run for Mayor to state that he was a fulltime resident of the city.

” Um the law clearly states that you must be a resident of the city 1 full year before the election. “
Emanuel’s argument is a variant of Bill Clinton’s famous line.
“ It depends on what the meaning of resident is “.
Rahm intended to live in Chicago, therefore he’s a Chicago resident.
