Rahm Emanuel Expected to Leave White House

[AndreaGail]

White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, is expected to announce his resignation from his position in the Obama administration this coming Friday, several media outlets report. Sources say he is leaving his post in order to launch a bid for mayor of Chicago.

Emanuel’s alleged departure comes in the wake of an announcement by current Chicago Mayor, Richard M. Daley, that he would not seek reelection for a seventh term.

Prospective candidates must file for the February mayoral election in November, which may have prompted Emanuel’s sudden departure from the White House.

The decision does not surprise political analysts, as Emanuel originally reigns from Chicago and has expressed his desire to someday run for mayor of his hometown.

President Barack Obama has expressed his support of Emanuel’s mayoral bid saying, "My expectation is, he'd make a decision after these midterm elections," Obama said. "He knows that we've got a lot of work to do. But I think he’d be a terrific mayor.”

That is a good question... Maybe he knows Obama is going down?

When SHTF does occur, I would expect that Chicago becomes one of the regional capitols.

He seems like the petty warloard type to me.

I was thinking something along those lines as well. Yeltsin for instance fell out of favour of the politburo, got elected president of Russia with no real powers, but quickly took more and more ministries from the failing Soviet Union, and then when Gorbachiev was kidnapped, during the most clumsily prepared coup of all times, he stepped up and soon had he dismantled Soviet Union, and taken over all powers from Gorbachiev. Later he gave away all state property to the select members of a certain tribe. A little thank you gesture I think...

Maybe the lead rat jumping a sinking ship? He sees greener pastures I think.

Well for whatever reason he really wants this job.
That is why the hit piece on Jesse Jackson Jr came out last week.

my opinion is; although he's burrowed in deeper than a tick on a hound dog now, riding dirty over Chicago will be lots more fun, more of an authoritarian position, no one to answer too (directly, except the electorate) it'll be like being "king" of Chicago vs mayor of Chicago
