Rahm Emanuel’s ‘Welcome Back To Chicago’ Not Especially Smooth

This week, White House Chief of Staff-turned Chicago mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel began his ‘Tell It Like It Is’ listening tour on the streets of Chicago. And the city’s residents proved – both to Emanuel’s face and in speaking to local news reporters – that when it comes to sharing blunt, critical opinions, they can give Emanuel a run for his money.

Newscasts, of course, couldn’t enough of this (and who could blame them?). One called it a “taste of reality.” Another wondered: “Will Rahm Emanuel’s candidacy be over before it begins?” And residents themselves said things to the camera like, “He does not belong here,” “He didn’t give us a chance to voice our actual opinion[s],” and “He hasn’t been here for two years – I honestly don’t think it’s fair for him to come back and say he wants to be mayor.” Also pointed out on newscasts: that Emanuel was caught using hand sanitizer after his handshake tour, and that he filmed the video where he announced the listening tour – in which he said, among other things, “I’m glad to be home” – in Washington, D.C.

It probably wasn’t all bad for Emanuel, but it certainly appears he’s got work to do winning hearts and minds – and even in convincing many Chicago residents that he’s truly one of their own. As another anchor put it, “Welcome to Chicago, huh?”

Chicagoians will send the foul mouthed fool packing.

Nobody wants the ballerina back…he was a failure in Washington D.C. and he would bring the same mojo of failure to Chicago…like his failure ‘buddy’ Obama.

Now why hasn’t the MSM covered the BIG MESS Obama’s community organizing has left Chicago.

Chicago now has the most dangerous neighborhoods in the U.S.

“Chicago has the dubious distinction of holding four places on a list of the 25 most dangerous neighborhoods in the nation.”

Obama’s Chicago community organizing = BIG FLOP.

Now does Chicago want more of the same with the Rahm?

Rahm is missing the ol’ bath houses in Chicago…so he can walk around in the buff without getting any attention or people turning him in to the MSM like they did in Washington D.C.

Rahm ain’t tough enough .This place is rough . You can’t even go out for a nice evening here . Big Eddie’s friend John went down to the Biograph to catch a Gable picture and caught a case of lead poisoning . Emanuel should run for the Lisle City Council and steer clear of the city .

Right. He’ll probably only win by 65%.

It is Big Eddie at the moment? Yes, Chicago politics is tough. If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. Or, is that Toledo?

Who gives you the right to speak for Chicagoans? Have you ever seen the city besides on TV?

I have no idea why the hand sanitizer should be problematic – they should be grateful he used it. And they should too. Gawd, shaking all those hands is gross, and I would use it after shaking a pols hand too.

As for the video – that was bad. Filming in DC, and claiming to be *back home*? FAIL.

Would someone in the Chicago press please ask Rahm:
Do you plan to do as good a job as mayor as you did as White House Chief of Staff?

Then shut up, and let him make a fool of himself!

Good one! I especially love that 75% of those posting here don’t get it. But Eddie G. was Jewish and started in Yid theater. I know – my grandma thought you was as cute as a frog.

So if he wins it will be because of the dead voting,and prove that you are right. You will always be right because of any excuse you can come up with prove it in your mind.
