Rahm’s first meet and greet
Rahm Emanuel is out of the D.C. bubble and back home campaigning for mayor in Chicago.
So, whose brilliant idea was it to have him create a media logjam and block commuters trying to get to work?
I’m sure there were more than a few “$%%^&^! you!’s” muttered under the breath.
Like when Rahm yanks this poor dude through the throng of journalists so he can get to the escalator:

Welcome back, Rahm.
***
Chicagoans: Watch out. He’s planning more logjams and obstructionism near you:
Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said he plans to hit Chicago’s grocery stores, train stops, “bowling alleys and hot dog stands” as he prepares to run for mayor of the nation’s third-largest city.
Emanuel announced Sunday in a video posted on his website, ChicagoforRahm.com, that he’s preparing to run. He had been careful not to launch his candidacy from Washington and headed to Chicago immediately after his resignation was announced by President Barack Obama on Friday.
In the video, Emanuel said he’s embarking on a “Tell It Like It Is” listening tour of Chicago.
“As I prepare to run for mayor, I’m going to spend the next few weeks visiting our neighborhoods — at grocery stores, L stops, bowling alleys and hot dog stands,” Emanuel said. “I want to hear from you — in blunt Chicago terms — what you think about our city, and how the next mayor and you can make it better.”

It was either that or try to catch them earlier in the shower.
It’s a “Telling Tour” then.
There is nothing about Chicago that a two megaton yield couldn’t fix.
Errah, Will he be visiting a cemetary later in the day? That’s where most of his future constituents reside!
Did Im read this right, Emanuel was handing out free tickets to a movie, starring him, called “LogJammin.”
Be careful what you ask for, Rahm.
It would be a pleasant surprise if Chicago voters rejected ole-soap-on-a-rope-dope. Good for Chicago, good for the country, and good riddance to a supreme jerk.
Given the modus operandi of Dems, the ones doing the listening will be those in the audience and the one doing the telling will be Rahmbo.
Rahm has no intention of winning THIS election. The next mayor of Chicago is doomed to failure – Rahm is still young, he’ll be building his team for the next run.
Yes and no. He wanted out of the Obrainless team because he can see the writing on the wall. But…he doesn’t want any help from the big cheese because then his campaign will just smell like limburger. However, if he loses, it’s a blight against The One. This could be kind of poetic justice.
These jerks are so arrogant they believe nothing can stop them.
Rahm might make a good train
conductordisaster.This guy is delusional. Clearly he is betting on the real working people of Chicago having short memories.
I heard this morning on the radio that Rahm isn’t answering any questions at these logjams and doesn’t plan to answer any questions for at least a week.
So, there’s not much “telling it like it is” at the moment, just pointless photo-ops.
The rat isn’t even qualified to run for mayor.
So who cares? They’re just the little people who are only good for paying taxes anyway.
Yikes – sounds like an Islamic Jihadist to me.
Did Rahm plan any visits to the insane asylums? He should find lots of support there.
You’re missing the headline here Michelle. “How are ya? Nice to see ya. Have a good day. Go ‘head, don’t worry ’bout it. How are ya. Have a good day now. Nice to see ya.”

Return of Rahm Brings A Good Day For Chicago!
Emanuel in Hebrew means “God with us”. God help us.
He is more qualified to be Mayor of Chicago than his boss was to become President of the United States. Far more qualified.
More left wing campaign rhetoric…when will people stop buying these “catchy phrases”, question implied by der’ leader.
From Hillbuzz:
I probably should have included this in the quote above:
it’s a good move. He spends an hour and gets face time and makes something newsworthy. He wants people to know he’s in Chicago. He will buy advertising there, but this will be on all the media for free proclaiming Rahm comes home!
if he gets residency, he’ll win.
I left Chicago when Blago got elected (he was the straw that broke this camel’s back). If Rahm is really interested, I have some blunt Chicago terms for him….
Those guys at Hillbuzz really hate Obama. Which is strange because I thought Hillbuzz was mostly gay men. You’d think they would be getting weak-kneed at the site of Obama’s manly pecs, but I guess you have to work at The Ministry of Propaganda before that happens.
I’m stocking up on extra popcorn right now.
And if he angers the real power in Chicago, he’ll have the same address as most of his voting supporters.
Rats don’t get the reception they used to, do they.
Chicago will elect a black mayor. not a little dancing homosexual.
Chicago needs to keep its mafia connections alive with this MF.
yeah, but…
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2010/10/obama-approval-gallup-blacks.html
Black racism… it’s what’s for dinner!
The other black meat.
heh..
The people of Chicago seem to like having thieves and other types of crooks in public office - seems that’s all that they vote for. Since Rahm is kind of an effeminate thug/crook/liar, he is the perfect mayor for them.
It’s just like the video game “Grand Theft Auto, The Ballad Of Gay Tony”
Wow! Didn’t those Chicagoans look so pleased to see Rahm. Can’t wait for that election. Rahm seems to do better getting his way when he intimidates people in locker rooms.
See you in this ‘hood Rhambo. Not.
I get it, Rogue. Unfortunately, reality is a lot harsher than Grand Theft Auto–after you kill the bad guys, you know nobody REALLY got dead and you just quit playing.
I think it is hilarious when these big media locations like Chicago talk about how dangerous their areas are. Chicago talks about ‘south side’, LA talks about Compton, NY talks about Brooklyn or the Bronx.
I assure you I’ll put the bad areas in Durham, Greensboro, High Point (especially), Winston Salem up against any of them.
The South Side/Compton “kings” would be shivering in fear within 24 hours here. I used to be impressed and scared of the scary places the big media talked about. . . until I went there. There is nowhere scarier than the bad parts of NC. But here if we talk about ‘scary places’ they just call us racist.
If he doesn’t answer any questions, until after election he might win.
Like this one: “When did you know Obowmao was born in Kenya?”

ROTFL !! Good one Teddy — but Nah, they are a sure thing, no need to bother campaigning there. It’s the “vote early vote often” crowd he needs.
Not funny. Rahm the hit man in Chicago. Tell that to all the business people shaken down by the mob.
Too funny, a tell it like it is listening tour. Are you telling or are you listening? Those are mutually exclusive. Is that an oxymoron or just a moron?
Ya s’pose the camera angle was on purpose so he wouldn’t look so short compared to the others?
I believe the rats are jumping ship so as to make it much harder when the Congressional investigations start next year.
When they are no longer a part of the establishment, any investigation might have to resort to subpoena…and the left would paint Republicans as harassing private citizens just trying to live life and care for puppies.
Obama’s brain has left the building!
Dance media elite, dance!
They had better vote him into office or it wont be a Cow starting the next Fire.
