Will Rahm Emanuel Run Against Hillary? He Says Not But...

Rahm Emanuel is reportedly thinking of running for president in 2016 if Hillary bows out. But she's not going to bow out (absent a health issue) and Emanuel knows it. He served 3 terms as a U.S. Congressman from Illinois, was Bill Clinton's director of finance in the 1992 campaign, and a large cog in the Chicago machine. Today he's the Mayor of  Chicaog, one of American's most corrupt cities. He needs Hillary, Democrats owe her, and  he cannot win on his own. What if today's leak is all about the early stages of prepping to pair with her for a Vice Presidential bid which will polish the rough edges of his 'godfather' image and put him in place for the next Oval Office opportunity. Hey, why not. Emanuel is  known for making the impossible happen, in unconventional ways, and today America has had 6 years of watching the unthinkable.

Rahm Emanuel - Hillary Clinton

The consensus on the Democrat side is they can now crown Hillary. Rahm can make it happen. He might be able to fix Benghazi. Who knows? David Petraeus may no longer be ripe for blackmail, but his name and philandering reputation is still out there to be further besmirched. Petraeus, the head of the CIA at the time, has said little other than he thought it was a terrorist attack from the get-go, never bought the story that an anti-Islam YouTube video was responsible. That's all we know from Petraeus. We don't know who told the CIA annex to "stand-down" when the Benghazi Mission was under attack. We don't know why four Americans died, including at least one who ignored the "standdown" order and tried to rescue fellow Americans. In the heat of the battle, Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods returned with the body of IT Specialist Sean Smith. Then he died too. Who better for Democrats to blame in 2016, in defense of the world's most popular woman, than the womanizing David Petraeus?

Democrats thought Hillary was a shoo-in and she and Bill the unbeatable combination, but the Arkansas duo with their creepy Rose Law Firm and Genifer Flowers baggage were no match for the Chicago machine.

Rahm knows how to handle scandals. He knows how to shut people up. Rahm's brother, Ezekiel, has been Obama's right-hand man in the creation of death panels in ObamaCare. They succeeded where Hillary failed. Their cunning may be appreciated by both Clinton's, for awhile. Back in 2008 when Hillary thought her crowning to be just a few months away, she suggested garnishing the wages of those who refused to buy a government plan for health care. She's a Progressive jewel of a rare sort whose Progressive desires peaked before her time.

Remember back in the 1990s when critics of Hillary Clinton's health care plan claimed it would place an undue burden on small business?
How about Ms. Clinton's famous response to such criticism?

Democrats today know real power - as never before in the history of this country. They know how to steal the vote, and while it's in their DNA, organize the communities and first rule, make the lies stick...tell it until it becomes the truth. Liberals will never let this lesson go to waste, and just maybe, they might love to see Hillary escorted to the Oval Office on the arm of Vice President Rahm Emanuel, her own personal strongman, her own personal godfather, because hubby Bill becomes more of a bumbling fool everyday, and when she has her chance, he has some serious payback coming. Rahm can handle Bill, just as Obama has handled Bill, and a second President Clinton might like that.

The Clinton's didn't blink at taking White House china, flatware, furniture, etc. with them when they departed - $190,000 worth, for which they allegedly reimbursed taxpayers for $86,000.

Mrs. Clinton’s office referred all questions about the gift return to the former president’s transition office. Transition office workers said the Clintons would make no statement. They referred all questions to the Park Service, which wasn’t exactly sure which gifts were being returned or where they had been kept.

Trust me, such stonewalling will be the standard bearer for Michelle Obama but with more finesse, and Rahm, The Fixer, handling the press.

That was back in the day - child's play. The new day dawns everyday on the Obama's latest latest or coming exotic trip, the White House jammed with Hollywood hip-hop royalty, or Jay-Z and Beyonce's party for BO and MO with a tower of Armand de Brignac Brut Gold, one the world's most expensive champagnes known as the Ace of Spades.

Cartoon of the day.

Obama and Rahm at Man's Country - Frequently?

by Maggie at Maggie’s Notebook

Well, well, well. HillBuzz was visited in Chicago by a US journalist wanting information about Man’s Country in Andersonville, Illinois. This article states that Barack Obama was a frequent visitor until 2002 and Rahm Emanuel until 2008, according to their sources.
HillBuzz tagged this article “bath houses.”

Man’s Country (see bottom of sign above door)

HillBuzz tagged this article “bath houses.” A quick check on the Internet and what I find about Chicago’s Man’s Country is fairly disgusting. Read the reviews here, especially the one by Alberto M. who says Man’s Country is “a gay Chicago icon…,” but complains that there is always the chance of getting “cooties” in Man’s Country.
Now, the article goes on to question the rags so busily working to tie Obama to an affair with Vera Baker, and the writer says something is fishy, and doesn’t hesitate to explain. The side story is about Kal Penn, the actor who left House to serve the President. He also plays Kumar in the Harold and Kumar movies. In the White House, Penn goes by his real name, Kalpen Modi.

Why the sudden need to portray this current president as an insatiably heterosexual stud who just can’t get enough women?

Baker’s a diversionary tactic…designed to cover SOMETHING up…and we think that something is an affair Obama had with Kal Penn, which seems to have ended badly.  We also think Penn was mugged not by a street thug in DupontCircle, but by someone working for either the DNC or Organizing for America (or any number of its umbrella thugs), because Penn’s phone had something in it that would prove some kind of romantic relationship between the president and a Hollywood actor with zero government experience who was plucked off a TV show unceremoniously and lifted into a high profile made-up position in the White House…so he could be close to Obama in Washington, where Obama wanted him.  Wanted in more than one sense.

Until he didn’t want him anymore.

And then someone needed to take his cell phone away, so that any pictures, texts, voicemails, or other interesting itts and bitts could be secured by those wishing to protect the current president.

Here’s a link to Penn/Modi’s mugging.
You know, this is an astounding and gutsy story, whether true or false. HillBuzz has stepped “out there.”  It is obvious from they have had some background on the story. Maybe they have blogged about this in the past, but the blog title is Someone in the national media is FINALLY interested in Man’s Country in Andersonville.

My disclaimer: I’m printing this because the report comes from Chicago. I don’t know if it’s true, but unless the writer is lying about the national media coming specifically for info about Man’s Country, it deserves to be known, and besides, HillBuzz is a reputable blog. I got to the HillBuzz story via Logistics Monster who indicates that many have known about this since 2007, so….

By Any Other Name...

Funny how after the election in November all the dirt that is on and surrounds President-Elect Barack Obama is coming to the surface. I guess that he didn't hide it deep enough.

During the election we heard about Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko and ACORN. Now it is the on-going saga of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.

The governor has been indicted on conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, as well as soliciting bribes. He is accused of trying to sell the vacant Senate seat of Barack Obama to the highest bidder. He has been a subject of a Federal investigation for years, including being subject to a wire tap of his phone. And the tapes show a link to the incoming President.

Emanuel talked directly to gov: source

President-elect Barack Obama's incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel had a deeper involvement in pressing for a U.S. Senate seat appointment than previously reported, the Sun-Times has learned. Emanuel had direct discussions about the seat with Gov. Blagojevich, who is is accused of trying to auction it to the highest bidder.

Emanuel talked with the governor in the days following the Nov. 4 election and pressed early on for the appointment of Valerie Jarrett to the post, sources with knowledge of the conversations told the Sun-Times. There was no indication from sources that Emanuel brokered a deal, however.

A source with the Obama camp strongly denied Emanuel spoke with the governor directly about the seat, saying Emanuel only spoke with Blagojevich once recently to say he was taking the chief of staff post. But sources with knowledge of the investigation said Blagojevich told his aides about the calls with Emanuel and sometimes gave them directions afterward. Sources said that early on, Emanuel pushed for the appointment of Jarrett to the governor and his staff and asked that it be done by a certain date.

At least some of the conversations between Emanuel and Blagojevich were likely caught on tape, sources said.

Full Story

The duties of a Chief of Staff is to run interference for your boss. The Chief of Staff does nothing without the President's knowledge and okay. It has now come out that Emanuel has been talking to Blagojevich and that a few of the conversations were taped.

I am reminded of Watergate and what brought Nixon down. That started with a 3rd rate burglary, a cover-up by White House staff, and the eventual resignation of President Nixon. This could go the same way. A discredited governor (Blago), a crooked neighbor (Rezko), a candidate for the Senate seat (Jackson Jr.) and a Chief of Staff (Emanuel) all singing a pretty song to the Feds for an deal to keep them out of prison. Which will lead to a sitting President fulfilling his office behind bars in a Federal Penitentiary.

Now that would be a first!
