Rahm Emanuel shows a different side

Now entering his sixth month as mayor of Chicago, the 52-year-old former White House chief of staff is attempting to rebuild the nation's third-largest city.  Emanuel's hard-charging, in-your-face persona is still intact, but he shows a side of himself that has not been seen before.  Rock Center's Harry Smith reports.

Discuss this post

What a nice story about a man who had NO right to run for the office of mayor in the first place.

Dear media, you never fail to miss an opportunity to try to make a sows ear look like a silk purse.

Highest murder rate in the US. How can that be? A law-abiding citizen of Chitcago, and Emanuel isn't, can't get a firearm to protect themselves and their family but they can be murdered with impunity. What a place; what a cesspool!

Emanuel epitomizes dirty Chicago politics.........he is Chicago politics at its (lowest) finest .....just ask the other criminals like Blago and Daley. ( I don't dare mention Bill Ayers, Obama and Rezco, LOL)

This man left our USA to fulfill his military obligations to Israel. He has dual citizenship, and should not be allowed to hold any office in the USA. This is not a Zionist country. Let him go be mayor in the land he holds closest to his heart.

You say Emanuel's a Zionist? I wonder...

His buddy Obama is no friend to Israel.

sw philly,

I know Emanuel is an Israeli.

As far as Obama's feelings go, why not read up on what the Israeli leaders think about the U.S./Israeli relationship?

Said Abraham Foxman ( Natl.Director OF the Anti Defamation League) , “We are deeply disappointed and saddened by this decidedly un-Presidential exchange between Presidents Sarkozy and Obama. President Obama’s response to Mr. Sarkozy implies that he agrees with the French leader.”

Foxman continued, “In light of the revelations here, we hope that the Obama Administration will do everything it can to reassure Israel that the relationship remains on a sure footing and to reinvigorate the trust between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu, which clearly is not what it should be. What is sad is that we now have to worry to what extent these private views inform foreign policy decisions of the U.S. and France – two singularly important players in the peace process."

In the 1920's Chicago had Al Capone.....

In the 2010's Chicago has Rahm Emanuel. ( Hence, the report from NBC, "Rahm Emanuel shows a different side")

LOL

      charles: "Leona says Emanuel is responsible for Al Capone"

      Since Al's era was the 1920's, you need to do your homework.

      Come on, open those books, Charles, you can do it.

      Emmanuel is a Zionist soldier and stupid Congress funded by jewish funds allows dual citizens to Israel. Emmanuel's only loyalty is to Israel, he is double faced, duplicitous. He cannot be trusted.

        And in that, he is in absolute alignment with Eric Cantor.

          Actually, I'm quite glad he is mayor of Chicago. I'm thousands of miles away.
