As if it weren’t bad enough that President Obama felt compelled to saddle us with Mayor Rahm Emanuel in 2011, he’s doubled down and endorsed him for a second term.
For the anti-Rahm crowd—and I know you’re out there—that’s the glimmer of good news in this latest development.
I rushed home to find two e-mails from the mayor’s campaign bragging about the endorsement. Apparently, Emanuel and his aides were so gleeful they mistakenly sent the same message twice.
What the president leaves out is that it didn’t take long for Emanuel to wear out his White House welcome with his arrogance and autocratic behavior.
You know, just to make sure that Chicago’s voters would actually be bamboozled into doing their part and voting for Emanuel.
Specifically, President Obama praises the mayor for taking a tough stand and giving children a longer school day.
