When Chicagos former mayor Richard Daley sold his top hat and city bank book to Rahm Emanuel, some pundits figured Obamas former top aide would be satisfied with the benefits the position had always provided the Daley familyjob security and all you can steal.
But Rahm has his eyes firmly fixed on the 2016 presidential race and is already doing what experienced Democrat politicians do besthe is using the power and authority of his office to buy voters and donors.
And of course in the best tradition of Democrat politics, Rahm will make certain that members of both groups have one thing in common. They will all be beholding to Rahm.
And Emanuel is off to a good start with a $20 million grant from the John T. and Catherine D. MacArthur Foundation. Named the Micro Market Recovery Program, the 20 million will be used to subsidize the purchase of homes in some of Chicagos highest foreclosure areas.
In short, the mangers of the MacArthur Foundation is buying some very important access to Rahm, while Rahms well publicized generosity and compassion make him a hero in the eyes of voters.

Well......we know Rahm's v-e-r-y religious---might have had services there (for all we know).
Here's Rahm shedding a tear at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.
The family went to Israel to have the son (right) bar mitzvahed.
=============================================
If you believe those hate-filled anti-Semites, they're always grumbling about this scam outed few years back----a generous soul contributed millions to his synagogue. Apparently the rabbi took a cut and the rest was deposited in Israel for the kind soul's use later....all tax-free. Israel is the only place in the world where one can debark, go to a bank with a suitcase full of cash, and nobody asks where it came from or if taxes were paid on it.
I’m not too worried about the nine-fingered midget ballerina.
Coach is RightNo, 'Coach is WRONG'. I will repeat this one more time....
'Rahm Emanuel using Chicago to Finance a Run for the White House'
Rahm Emanuel cannot be President of the United States.Rahm served Israel's Army during the Gulf War as an Israeli Civilian Worker.(1)
He is a DUAL Citizen of the USA & Israel.
Obama may have pulled a fast one with his 'British Daddy'.
But Rahm's Dual Citizenship is a NO GO from the start. Plus, it is documented from here to Kingdom come that Rahm's DADDY was an Israeli Citizen - and a member of a terrorist group - Daddy was not a US Citizen. So 'we' ain't gonna fall for that bull again.
He does NOT meet the Constitutional qualifications, PERIOD!
But if he wants to be Premier of Israel, go for it Rahm. Golda Meir did it, so can you.
(1) US Citizen's are prohibited from serving any foreign Government. If you do you lose your US Citizenship. Rahm got away with it because he's a citizen of Israel and the USA.
If Rahm fought in the military of a foreign government, that would negate his American citizenship (US citizens forfeit their citizenship when they serve in the military of a foreign government).
RAHM'S STORY--VERSION TWO Rahm volunteered for Sarela three-week Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) training program (like US boot camp) where civilians are trained to assist the Israeli military. Civilians like Rahm lived on an IDF military base to get the proper training. A civilian volunteer, Rahm assisted the IDF during the 1991 Gulf War, repairing truck brakes in one of Israels northern bases.
Not true. Unless Rahm was an officer. Or Israel was at war with the US.
Sec. 349. [8 U.S.C. 1481](a) A person who is a national of the United States whether by birth or naturalization, shall lose his nationality by voluntarily performing any of the following acts with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality...
(3) entering, or serving in, the armed forces of a foreign state if
(A) such armed forces are engaged in hostilities against the United States, or
(B) such persons serve as a commissioned or non-commissioned officer;
There are plenty of other reasons for McArthur Foundation to launder charity money through their soulmate Chicago Mayor.
But the interesting thing is that if you Google 'Rahm, Dual Citizen' what comes up on wiki is that he's never denied it.
When he ran for Congress his opponent used that 'Dual citizen' jab and Rahm, instead of saying it was wrong, or a lie. Just just got a group of lackey 'clergymen' together to denounce that as an anti semitic smear.
Now that I find interesting. If not true, why not just say so?
However the fact still is that his daddy was not a US Citizen. An Israeli until he died. Ergo, Rahm is not not qualified to be POTUS.
Heheh-—true—could be money laundering for other reasons.
