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.
His departure would be regarded as another sign of how Mr Obama’s presidency has been far more troubled than expected.
Mr Emanuel has privately expressed a readiness to run for mayor of Chicago, which is also his hometown though he was never part of the Obama set and did not endorse the then senator in the Democratic primary in 2008.
