At last a gun free zone. Hey, he might be popular there. All the armed robbers, carjackers and home invaders thanking him for making their jobs easier.

I guess promotion to "PuppetMaster" had incentive.

Perhaps he is taking lessons from Putin, (plus the Soros/BHO/union kickbacks) sure are inviting, without having to deal with the day to grind of the "little people"...

Either way, one less ass hat in public office.

With Richard Daley's retirement, Rahm Emanuel could run for Chicago mayor

WASHINGTON -- White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel has made no secret of his desire to run for mayor of Chicago one day, saying as recently as April that becoming chief executive of his hometown had "always been an aspiration."

Suddenly, he has his chance.

With the surprise announcement Tuesday that Chicago Mayor Richard Daley will not run for a seventh term, speculation in Washington quickly turned to whether Emanuel will seek the job. White House officials spent the afternoon informally speculating about the odds that Emanuel might leave -- and pondering who would replace him if he did.

Almost universally, political strategists said they expected Emanuel, a former Illinois congressman, to seize the opening. "I'd be shocked if he didn't run," a senior White House official said.

Daley, 68, announced his retirement on the steps of City Hall, taking even some of his closest allies by surprise. Although his approval ratings have slipped over the past year, Daley said it was a "personal decision" made after more than two decades as Chicago mayor, a tenure that will surpass even that of his father, who was mayor from 1955 to 1976.

A return to Chicago would bring Emanuel, 50, full circle to the city where he stuffed political pamphlets into mailboxes as a high schooler and where his mother was a political activist. Emanuel rose to national prominence as the chief fundraiser for Daley's first mayoral campaign in 1989.

Actually Bic it might be.
That greasy little bas*ard is very, very good at what he does, (" Never let a crisis go to waste" ) getting him out of the White house and giving him other toys to play with has got to be a good thing.
