MAYOR

I like Rahm Emanuel a lot.

I usually do not like Politico very much. They are often looking for a way to slam or undermine.

But I do like this profile they did of Emanuel.

Rahm Emanuel's Rules For Victory

Obama made a great choice when he picked Emanuel as Chief of Staff. The two men could not be more different in temperament. And that is the point. Obama is best when pushed by people who have rapport but difference. He needed a guy who could work hard and get the job done.

I do not imagine that the White House position had a lot to do with his election as the Mayor of Chicago on the very first bounce.

I think it has to do with the work he did when he got there to become a part of the city and to match his profile with what the like and need.

He is very smart.

And good. At what he does and how he treats other people. There is a video with this. Take a look at him work the podium. I love the part where he kisses his son. Just an aside but also to the point. Good.
