LET'S STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE Rahm Emanuel is poor street urchin, who, w/ just 10 cents in his pocket, "accidentally" got into big-time Chicago politics ---miraculously Rahm then became a multi-millionaire overnight.
The Chicago mayoralty (and its--cough--"benefits") is a job poor Emanuel has coveted since he was a penniless Democrat machine go-fer back in the 1980s.....before he became Bill Clinton's national campaign finance chairman and served a dual role as (1) Clinton's senior White House aide, AND, (2) a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.
After Rahm "accidentally" became a multi-millionaire, thanks to a measly few months at a Wall Street investment firm......he decided to run for Congress (was there for four terms).
Hard-scrabble Rahm's accidental stumble into politics culminated in Rahm picked as (1) Obama's White House chief of staff .... and a dual role as (2) Obama's hand-picked man at Treasury with an unarticulated "job description."
Later, when he left the WH--penniless, of course---Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago.
Then Rahm happily announced he had "accidentally" raised $10 million for his campaign "in just a matter of weeks." Seems the poverty-stricken bugger had "accidentally wired" federal tax dollars offshore at the time he was in a dual role as Obama's COS AND in charge of the entire US Treasury.
Sob.
Rahm Emmanuel as mayor represents the corrupt commie based single Party politics that permeates most big cities. They hand out a few token benefits to the poor just to get elected, while using patronage and giving crony deals worth billions to connected friends.
One Party government always equals corruption. Two corrupt Parties still equals corruption but on a lesser scale as they will both attempt to expose each other.
