Video: Rahm Emanuel Blown Off By Communters As He Begins Campaign For Chicago Don At Train Stop

So Rahmbo bails on Obama - presumably telling The One that he wants to start his own family beginning with a run for Chicago Don. It didn't go so well as on his first day commuters were blowing him off at this Chicago train stop:


From MyFox via drudge: Emanuel To Get Reacquainted With Chicago

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.

Wanting to do for Chicago what he did for the US

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.

I think Chicago residents ought to stop by and talk with Emanuel, and give him a dead fish in a wrapper for his troubled. Emanuel might want to remove one word from his vocabulary though:

"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."

I'm not sure that the electorate wants Emanuel to 'spend' as he has helped do too much of that in DC already.
