Obama’s former chief of staff Rahm Emanuel might make a go for 2016, two well-connected Democrats tell Lloyd Grove—as long as Hillary doesn’t. And the potty-mouthed Chicago mayor could win.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is said by well-connected Democrats to be considering with the idea of running for president if Hillary Clinton opts out of the 2016 race.
It’s unclear who raised the subject—Emanuel or the donors—and the mayor’s press secretary didn’t offer any clarity on who said what to whom. However, Tarah Cooper sent a photo of Emanuel's scrawl on yellow legal paper vowing "not ever" to run for "for another office" and reiterated his longstanding pledge that, in his words, he's "not interested. Not going to do it. No. I'll do it in Hebrew: lo." (Emanuel, the son of an Israeli doctor, had dual citizenship until he was 18.) Others expressed skepticism that any such discussions between Emanuel and donors could have been serious.
“I talk to Rahm almost every single day, sometimes more than once a day, and he’s never said anything like that to me,” said Democratic strategist Paul Begala, a colleague and friend from Bill Clinton’s White House. “This is the first I’ve heard of it. That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.”
Clinton loyalist James Carville, another friend of the mayor’s, echoed Begala’s dubious assessment: “I never have heard something like that, and it’s not like I don’t talk to Rahm all the time. And it’s not like people close to him ever brought it up.”

Yeah....like we need another faggot Chicago thug-wannabe-who’s-really-a-pu**y in the White House. Yeah.....that’d be greeeeaaat.
When one Poofter POTUS just isn’t enough..
The Gay Party??????????????? What an As-hole!
Agreed. The percentage of permanent lazy parasites, socialists, and brain dead “D” lever-pullers has reached a point that the far-left candidates will battle it out in the Rat primary and that will automatically be the next officeholder.
I think we are too. The GVOPe is too spineless to offer any real alternative or to act as an effective opposition party
I hope he runs... he can ROVE his party from within during primaries... Their party can be in an uproar because the party can’t decide if the sole focus should be on taxing productivity to death, or forcing the population into feigned tolerance of the ABCDLGBTXYZ agenda...
Who know... by 2016... who knows... all I can say is the Republican party better get a f’ing grip... go in there and start kicking ass. I want to see Allen West back... then again I want to see Bob Dornan back too (don’t hold that against me).
The GOP must take each and every one of these commie SOBs out now. They need to chip away at them until they are driven from power. The need to be beaten so bad that their grandchildren couldn’t get elected dog catcher.
We can olny save the country be crushing them. Hillary, Rahm, Biden, Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, and the rest of them need to be removed from office, jail if warranted. Don’t give them a change.
Rahm Emanuel is scary. If the Antichrist is here today, I’m sure it’s that guy. He just looks evil. It’s like he’s disguised as a human and can’t quite pull it off.
No, she might, well, you see, she might just have another accident, fall on her head again or somethin’
On the other hand, Rahm might make a visit to Ft. Marcy Park on his next trip to Washington. Never can tell what might “happen.”
Let ‘em eat each other alive.
You beat me to the Fort Marcy Park remark...
The man is an arrogant fascist, but he's realized that 2016 is his only chance to run for Prez. Shitcago is a corrupt fetid lodestone around the neck of any pol with national ambitions. He'll be too tainted by 2020.
My guess is he's already too corrupted. Bring him on.
his motto: I’ll make America as safe as Chicago!!!
Washington: surveyor,soldier,general,father of a country.
Emmanuel: ballerina.
Whole country will need a good bath to cleanse the stench of this, “magic negro”.
As for rahm, no chance.
“ech, I feel slimy just thinking about that”
Yeah, I’m pretty sure I urped up some dinner when I saw that headline!
Van Jones will beat him in the Primary and Beyonce will get the nomination.
