It’s not easy being a hatchet man — particularly in a crowd of idealists like the current denizens of the White House — and this stylistic dissonance may cause an early exit for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Mr Emanuel has reportedly told friends that his role as White House chief of staff was “only an 18-month job” because of its intensity.
Regarded as the most demanding role after president, it involves controlling the president’s agenda, enforcing White House message discipline as well as liaising with Congress.
