Another one bites the Dust!!

I like what one of the comments in the article says.

"Rats Jumping Ship"

How many have left this administration now? Seems as though they have done their dirty work, funneled "Stimulus money" into their bankers friends hands and are now leaving? Think they are getting a cut when they leave? I know I am not seeing a cut of that stimulus....

Also he is running for Mayor? If he leaves office that most likely means he knows he is going to get the position in Chicago. I feel sorry for my chi-towners!!!

Except now he knows this ship he is jumping to is a bigger ship: Mayor = No term limits. There is money to be made in Chicago!

Chicago have fun with your new Mayor!

This seems huge! Isn't Emmanuel the puppeteer? It has looked that way to me, anyway. Now even the puppetmaster wants out of the theater?

You can not tell me WH Chief of Staff is less important than Mayor of Chitown, or is it?

And was not Emmanuel Obama's BFF?

For me, what comes to mind is an all out collapse on the horizon that some are in the know of, and are retreating from. Don't have a clue how the collapse will go down, or what will be the trigger, but gut tells me the initial will be economic followed by physical phenomenom derailing our world.

This needs to be investigated.
I heard a caller from Chicago once mention on a radio talk show that Emmanual SOLD his Chicago home when he left for Washington.
If that's the case then technically he can't run for Mayor since he hasn't been a citizen for at least a year.

He should've rented it out instead.
