CHICAGO (AP) — Two people close to Rahm Emanuel say he will resign as White House chief of staff on Friday, and will begin his campaign for Chicago mayor by meeting with voters in the city on Monday.
The people who are familiar with Emanuel’s plans spoke on condition of anonymity because they did not want to pre-empt his announcement.
The people say Emanuel will return to Chicago over the weekend and begin touring neighborhoods on Monday to talk with voters. They say Emanuel also will launch a website with a message to Chicago voters.
Emanuel’s plans have been the source of widespread speculation both in Chicago and Washington, D.C. ever since Mayor Richard Daley announced he would not seek re-election earlier this month.

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 1:43pmNow if we could just convinced Barack to go back to wherever it is he came from, then we could start to restore America to her former glory.
It‘s hard to believe that it’s been less two years since that community organizing, social justice pushing, narcissistic, know it all science experiment gone wrong of a man decended upon Washington, and set about the un-American plan of fundamentally transforming our entire country in to nothing more than one giant ghetto.
Thanks to folks like Andrew Breitbart, Glenn Beck, all of “ FOX NEWS ”, well Shep and that Colmes character and to a lesser degree Geraldo, are a pain in the #ss, for allowing “ We the People ” to decide, after they report, to twart evil, whether from without, and most unfortunately from within our own government.
The beginning of the end for those who would do our country harm is a mere 33 days away.
God Bless the United States of America and her people.

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 1:43pmI guess Rahm will just be leaving one corrupt place and going back to the corrupt place he came from. How is he leaving the White House, via the sewer ? One less corrupt individual in the White House. Perhaps he saw the housecleaning coming in November ? Bye Rahm, I am sure there will be somebody who will miss you. Probably not the staff!

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 1:21pmIt doesn’t matter too much any more. This is the person that pushed through the policies and programs that will ultimately harm the U.S. Now he is going to Chicago to run for mayor. I will wager that he will get any funding necessary as to give the appearance of these policies and programs are successful. He will get anything needed to further the progressive/liberal movement and the really sad thing is, the people of Chicago, I believe, out of fear of the future, will allow him to become mayor.

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 1:13pmI wonder if the timing has anything to do with the super secret Orly Taitz interview with Fox News last week. Glenn seems to be building to something monumental on his show. He’s urged us all to watch on Friday. I’m guessing last nights guest presented the set up.
On September 23, Orly Taitz filed “final reply to oppostion to 60b motion” in the US District Court of DC. http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Taitzv-Obama-final-reply-to-oposition-to-60-B-motion.pdf
The timing of this filing coincides with her interview with Fox. Is this a coincidence? Please follow the link and do as Glenn demands and READ FOR YOURSELF! Study the exhibits. If you can’t cut and paste the link, go to Orlytaitzesq.com She has all info posted on her website.
Just maybe Rahm’s done his homework too, and another rat jumps ship…

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 1:02pmHas anyone thought about why Rahm is needed to be Mayor of Chicago and not remain in WH? Let us learn from history. Year: 1960. Event: Kennedy v Nixon Presidential Election. The voters: After 8 years with Ike would we stay the course with Nixon or go for “change”? Election returns go into the wee hours. Kennedy elected by a tiny margin of votes delivered by Mayor Daly of Chicago.

Report Post »The good news is that it is unlikely that Obama will be able to find another chief of staff that can twist arms and bully as well as Emmanuel. That means even if the Democrats don’t lose control of congress, Obama becomes less effective in his last two years as president.

Posted on September 30, 2010 at 6:15pmYou know, sometimes you just have to laugh at these blogs. Went over to the Huff Post to see their take on this–for once, both left and right seem to agree–of course they don’t mention Rothschilds and One World Order, they just say Wall Street Bankers and think he is a right wing plant to keep Obama in line!! If that’s the case, he failed!! They also say the choice was not his–seems like it‘s a good thing that he’s got Chicago!!
