Rahm Emanuel, the Next Mayor of ChicagoPosted on Feb 23, 2011
President Obama’s former chief of staff will take his talents—and epithets—to Chi-town. Rahm Emanuel, who took so much money from the financial industry that David Sirota labeled him a “Financial Industry Cyborg,” scored an impressive victory in Chicago’s mayoral race, despite the fact that he moved back only when he decided to run.

Who would leave a position as the chief adviser for the President of our country to take job as a mayor of a city?
One who knows the ship is sinking and doesn’t want to go down with it- like all rats..

virtually any feline’s choice in articulating the ‘levers of power’ would prove more effective in
solving the problems we face - after all, their raison d’être is closer to that of a
genuine human than power freak operatives like Rambozo, in whose political history we
find public incidents like this:
On the night after the 1996 election, “Emanuel was so angry at the president’s
enemies that he stood up at a celebratory dinner with colleagues from the campaign,
grabbed a steak knife and began rattling off a list of betrayers, shouting ‘Dead! ... Dead! ...
Dead!’ and plunging the knife into the table after every name.”

Which paperless voting machines do they use in Chicago?
Controlled by some zionist hack somewhere no doubt.
No wonder why our elected representatives kiss the zionist ass the way they do. With the keys to the voting machine my cat could get elected.

“Kabuki Democracy, Eric Alterman’s phrase keeps ringing in my head.
President Bush Junior’s election in 2000 was more sophisticated then Mubarak
attempt to install his son to power, yes, but not much.
The political machine that gets Rahm in office as mayor after selling-out
the progressives while in the WH for two years is just another shadow
dancing on the wall of the cave, to mix metaphors.
Richard Wolff’s analysis that the working class is completely spent after
coming home, with husband,wife, kids,and pets, all having to work to make
ends meet, that they have effectively withdrawn from politics. This vacuum
has been filled by the monied interest that have made out like bandits (they
are bandits) since the 1970’s. With all that extra money going to control
the political process which in turn is used to control the economic process.

This is small potatoes. rahmie’s real objective, as is hillbilly
hillary’s also scottie wonker and a host of others, is the white
house, 2012. They know it’s a fair bet that o won’t make it
through the primaries and all those wannabes want a shot at
emulating w and dick’s, slick willie’s, older bush and rear-end
runny reagan’s position, the presidency. And there isn’t one of
those treasonous bastards that I would want to get it!
But considering that those clowns in chitcago elected him,

this country is definitely looking in the maw of bottomless
black hole.

Don’t be fooled this just a stepping stone for him. he’s
Report thisthe typical smarmy politician,talking out of both sides of his
mouth. He’s up to his armpits with influence peddlars. He knows
if Obama can win so can he. Watch for him and Romney,there’s
not a dimes worth of difference between them. Either one will
likely be their parties nominee for President. And the hustle
and scams of the corporations and the moneyed will continue
with either being elected. Look at Obama,what a fraud,what a
scam the corporatocracy foisted on the voters. The appearance of change,while actually none took place. more of the same from
Emmanuel. And the beat goes on.

Its nice to hear that an investment banker finally caught a break in this country. And I certainly hope that Obama has mended fences with Wall Street by bringing in a new investment banker (Daley) to replace his old investment banker (Emanuel).

Out of a population of 2,853,114, I’d hardly consider a vote count of 321773 out a

by ward paints a fairly bleak picture that a good number of those voting for Rahm
are (predictably) Cubs fans.

Rahm Emanuel won because of corporate money and his association with President Obama. He rammed thru the Health Care legislation taking care of the Private Health Care monopoly with a mandate for millions of Americans to buy Health Insurance or pay a fine.
Report thisRahm Emanuel, like the corporate cons and banksters, is motivated by power and money. Unfotunately, the good people of Chicago just voted against their own best interest.

This smarmy little prick is living proof that the “system” is FUBAR! The proof lies not in this little worms lack of charactor, but in the hundreds of thousands of mindless drones in the democratic party that cast a vote for continued corruption instead of meaningful change.

A MOSSAD operative running Chicago - Al Capone is turning in his grave!
Never mind that he died the year before Israel triumphed as the primary Euro-
American colony in the Middle East, amidst the sort of gang warfare that would
