I actually know which one is more evil - Rahm or his boss.

When one is a puppeteer and the other one is the puppet, then the puppeteer has to be the more evil one.

Can anyone deny that the most powerful man in the world is really Rahm Emmanuel?

Obama may be the figurehead but the power is really in Rahm's hands. Without Rahm, Obama would be helpless and hopeless.

“When he was a senior in high school, he sliced his finger while working at Arby’s. But instead of seeking medical attention, he decided to celebrate prom night by swimming in Lake Michigan. The bone and blood infection that resulted was so severe it practically killed him. Scrappy and determined, even at death’s door with a fever of 106 degrees, he pulled through, only losing part of his finger.”

Who makes this stuff up!

Well, we may disagree because I don’t think Obozo is stupid...I think he’s diabolical.

Tax evasion is easier to swallow when the crook who’s doing it arranges for a great big gov’t kickback.

I don't disagree with you.

A person can be stupid and diabolical. So, though Obama may be stupid and diabolical, that doesn't preclude Rahm from being the more evil one who is pulling the strings.

I've spent WAY too much time on this forum. I know exactly what your code means, and I think it's funny.

But....but......Obaba promised us a PERFECT world......and who better to orchestrate it than "Mr Perfect" himself, Rahm Emanuel (sob).

With Cowboy Bill up to his chaps in corruption, Daschle out, Geithner pocketing IMF reimbursements for taxes he "forgot" to pay, and Solis' spouse a tax cheat..........I say "Thank God" Obaba appointed to his admin somebody like Rahm Emanuel, who is the epitome of perfection AND who paid ALL his taxes (sniffle).

Here's Rahm saluting the American flag on inauguration day.

"Mr Perfect" Rahm had an amazing career path while he was paying his taxes---a straight-to-the-top trajectory. Rahm did it all by hisself .....AND he paid all his taxes (bawl).

RAHM'S EFFORTLESS RISE TO THE TOP WHILE PAYING HIS TAXES

"Mr Perfect" resigned his position as an advisor to Bill Clinton, in 1998 to become a Wall Street investment banker with Wasserstein Perella, (now Dresdner Kleinwort), where he worked until 2002. In 1999, "Mr Perfect" became managing director at their Chicago office. According to Congressional disclosures, Emanuel made $16.2 million in his 2 1/2 year stint as a banker AND he paid all his taxes.

Amazingly, "Mr Perfect" became a multi-millioniare overnight----and he wasn't even voted "Most Likely To Succeed" (sniffle). And he paid all his taxes.

At Wasserstein Perella, where he paid all his taxes, Perfect Rahm worked on eight deals, including the acquisition by Commonwealth Edison of Peco Energy and the purchase by GTCR Golder Rauner of the SecurityLink home security unit from SBC.

Rahm then ran for Congress; luckily members of the securities and investment industry became his biggest backers, donating more than $1.5M to his campaigns dating back to 2002, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Mr Perfect also leaned heavily upon the industry as 2006 Dem Congressional Campaign Committee Chair. Financial industry donors contributed more than $5.8M to the Dem committee, behind only retirees.

Pres Bill Clinton in 2000 named Mr Perfect to the Board of Directors for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"). Rahm's position paid him $31,060 in 2000 and $231,655 in 2001 and paid all his taxes. During the time Emanuel spent on the board, Freddie Mac was plagued with scandals involving campaign contributions and accounting irregularities. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) later accused the board of having "failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention." Emanuel resigned from the board in 2001 when he ran for Congress. In between Rahm's career choices, he won a coveted scholarship to the prestigious Joffrey School of Ballet; he was THAT good in a tutu.

How in God's name can we argue with such perfection? (sob)

=====================================

In between Rahm's career choices, he won a coveted scholarship to the prestigious Joffrey School of Ballet; he was THAT good in a tutu.

=======================================

Golly, selfless, altruistic Rahm even found time to serve with (or in) the Israeli military. Course he's given out several stories about that----probaly because the Mossad does not allow public scrutiny of its agents in the WH.

SELFLESS RAHM HAS GIVEN OUT THIS VERSION He did not serve in the Israeli army. He was a civilian volunteer assisting the Israel Defense Forces during the 1991 Gulf War, repairing truck brakes in one of Israel's northern bases.

ALTRUISTIC RAHM HAS GIVEN OUT THIS VERSION During the 1991 Gulf War, Israel was asked by the United States not to militarily respond to the Scud missiles that Iraq was hurling at them. Israel did not .........and Rahm was in Israel to assist them in not responding militarily.

Obaba can settle this Islamic smear jihad ONCE AND FOR ALL. Obaba should obtain copies of Rahn's paychecks paychecks to demonstrate that payments to Rahm were NOT coming out of the IDF military budget. Cause if they did, that would wipeout Rahm's US citizenship (bawl).

The sound of paper shredders.......................

TRUE OR FALSE? Rahm Emanuel and his family apparently live tax-free in a Chicago manse that is owned by "The Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Foundation."

According to the Cook County Assessor’s website, the Chicago home of four-term Democrat Congressman and White House COS, Rahm Emanuel, doesn’t exist........there seems to be no public record of Emanuel ever paying property taxes on this home.

Here's the Chicago tax assessor on the topic: "Rahm Emanuel’s house being tax exempt is wholly inaccurate. Rep. Emanuel’s house in on the tax rolls, and he and Ms. Rule have paid the taxes on it. The Emanuel house sits on two lots. For tax purposes, the property is listed as 4232 N. Hermitage Ave. The PIN is 14-18-408-035-0000. As you can see, 4232 N. Hermitage came up as one of the addresses when you searched Emanuel’s block on our web site. 4228 N. Hermitage is listed as the mailing address on the tax records-----it is not at all uncommon for addresses to be merged for properties on two lots. According to the Cook County Treasurer’s web site, Emanuel and his wife paid $13,022.60 in property taxes this year." Sincerely, Eric W. Herman Director of Communications Cook County Assessor's Office

=================================

KEEP IN MIND The Chicago county assessor is a high- ranking Democrat Party operative, and is surely biased.

This same assessor once carried the palatial home of Democrat Cong Luis Guiterrez on the tax rolls as a vacant lot and argued once the story was publicized that Guiterrez should not be penalized for a "clerical error" ....this was after Guiterrez paid minimal taxes for years and years, b/c Guiterrez' palatial home was listed as a vacant lot.

Rahm has two lots and pays the freight on a single bill and gets a tax break loophole that most of us would never be allowed and now the assessor tells us to be happy that multi-millionaire and Freddie Mac swiller Rahm Emanuel pays anything.

City and county Chicago governments are run by corrupt Dem machines for years, it's hardly surprising that Emmanuel managed to pulled off his "charitable organization" stunt successfully....then got a "clarification"

BTW, was Rahm's tax check backdated?

The "Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust" was formed in 2002, when Rahm was first elected to Congress.

====================================

What illegalities would be unearthed if "The Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust" had its official filings audited?

IRS TOLL-FREE 1-800-829-0433----you may remain anonymous.

EMAIL .......OAAG.Tax@tax.USDOJ.gov.

REFERENCE The IRS has reported that tax-exempt “foundations and charities” are the locus classicus for tax evasion and money laundering. The "Rahm Emanuel and Amy Rule Charitable Trust" was formed in 2002, when Rahm was first elected to Congress.
