BARACK Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, was under pressure to resign last night after it was revealed he had been captured on wire taps discussing candidates for the US president-elect's Illinios Senate seat.

Mr Emanuel's presence at the heart of the scandal threatens to roil Mr Obama's administration as a Chicago prosecutor builds his corruption case against Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, The Australian reports.

Rahm Emanuel is most certainly not "Advisor B." Look at the indictment. Specifically, look at Paragraph 99 on Page 60 - it states that "ROD BLAGOJEVICH discussed the open Senate seat in a three-way call with JOHN HARRIS and Advisor B, a Washington D.C.-based consultant" (emphasis added). Emanuel is not a "consultant," he is a Member of Congress.

I still think Rahm Emanuel was involved with Ronnie Earl's indictments of Tom Delay.

I don’t see anywhere in that article where it mentions Emanuel being urged to resign. Did they change the article text after you quoted it?

[montesquiue]

This is a record breaking bad start for Obama.

“Have I lost my mind, or has the headline of that article changed?????? Just in the time it took me to read comments. WTH?”

No. You are correct the title was changed. Maybe they were “Chicago Styled” (threatened by the Obamatrons). After all the theme is “CHANGE”.

If we had an investigative media willing to go "Woodward and Bernstein" on this scandal, Obama would be in trouble

Emanuel already coughed up his House seat - - you know, the one he bought from the guy who vacated it, Rod Blagojevich - - and he ain’t getting it back for free.

[444Flyer]

ROTFL!

[Lancey Howard]

Oops - - nevermind.
Emanuel still has the House seat.

There were two advisor involved in Senate Candidate 1. Advisor A and Advisor B.

Axelrod is considered a D.C. based consultant to the president-elect.
