Rahm Emanuel may be quitting after the mid term election. Could be due to a clash in how to get things done. Could it be perhaps that Obama is not street enough?
There is a good chance that he is looking to become Mayor of Chicago. This would depend upon Mayor Daley giving up re election in 2011.

What do you think? Do you think he SHOULD leave? Do you think this is what Obama wants?

I think they all should leave! :)
I'm not sure which one of these two is the mastermind behind the thuggery, though most signs point to him. I know of his comment about disasters, and he was undoubtedly the one behind the job offers. I'd say he was probably the horse that was pulling Obama's ideological cart. Obama had the reigns and got the credit, but Emmanuel did all the work. In the words of a friend of mine, "They were already inept, imagine how little they are going to be able to get done now."
Looks like he's gonna be the fall guy for Sestak and Romanov.
Good riddance.

i think rahm is getting out while the gettin is good, he doesnt want to get dragged down with obama, after all he is a thug and being the mayor of chicago would fit right in. where's capone when ya need him and if dailey doesnt give up his seat he'll most likely have an accident of some sort.

I'm not unhappy to see him leave. He's more like a bully than a pragmatist. If Obama fills the position with another idealist, they'll never get anymore done...and that's just fine with me. I don't like the way they spend...and tax. We can also hope the Ds lose control of the House and Senate, then we might get some balance back between the Administration and Congress. Oh, and I do think Obama wants him to go... I'm betting he replaces him with Jarret.
