Count your Blessings....At least he's out of the WHITEHOUSE!!!

And from his position in Chicago, he will be more powerful than when he was in the White House. If Blago had anything on him, it's gone now. The Chicago Machine is gearing up for 2012.

Maybe Sean Hannity will send him a dead fish as a victory gift.

Why on earth must our land be plagued with gutless losers like tutu-wearing Emanuel.

What is wrong (what has been wrong) with the people of Chicago?

The Dalys stunk to the heights. What, Chicago cannot produce a real, genuine, smart people's leader?

Or is this just one further example that you never will ever find a decent person in high political office? Never. Not to be found. Only unscrupulous, bend like Gumby, wafflers, whiners, panderers, egotistical, self-serving creeps.

Ah, the world of politics: Worse than that of gargolyes and vampires.

The City of Big Shoulders died 45 years ago. Once the proud home for the whole Midwest.

Well said, Pelligrino!

Democracy really stinks when it doesn't yield the results one wishes for.

Ken (Old Texican)| 2.23.11 @ 8:18AM

Pelligrino,
A majority of intelligent voters have already moved OUT of Chicago it seems.
Similar to Houston as I mentioned yesterday.

Mike| 2.23.11 @ 8:56PM

Similar to all of Texas?

Keep a sharp eye. This is exactly how they will
get a second term for Obama. These organizers
are relentless. They have come this far and will
be a formidable power in 2012 for Obama.
As with this worthless mayor, the boys will
make sure Obama wins re-election by hook or
by crook.

I'm certain Rahm is laughing, as hard as I am, at the people who were stupid enough to elect him.

Mike| 2.23.11 @ 8:57PM

The people who were "stupid" enough to elect Rahm will be okay. That is what is really irritating those who lost.

This is America. A non resident has just as much right to get elected Mayor of Chicago as the people in the Illinois cemetaries have to vote for him. Score one for the White House and election 2012. This delivers those electoral votes to Al Naqis.

Anderson| 2.23.11 @ 10:46AM

Is He A Mouse wearing a cats mask! See book art spiegelman's maus or is it spelled “Mauz”

So does this means he will out right reject Obama's Anti Self defense Anti Jewish Hebrew Standing With Israel to Honor "Haymn Solomon" & The History of the reason why the Star of David is Atop our united States Army Flag, after All he was Apart of the treason sending Ai...d to Gaza the foes of Jewish Israel

Emanuel Will Be Held to uphold his Oaths

Chicago's New Tough New Gun Law's that was Mayor Richard M. Daley "Direct Criminal Constitutional Contempt of Court, The Supreme Court ruled such Bans Are Unconstitutional. And if Emanuel is going to be in Office he needs to be reminded just as easy as is there so can he be removed With the Use of terms Like Any other elected and or Appointed.

Tort claims, "Congressional" "Direct" "Criminal" "judicial" or "judiciary" Constitutional contempt, And U.S. Title 42 u.s.c. Section 1983. Terms even the Supreme Court Most go by,

Shall not be infringed. and Congress shall pass no Laws to Abridged

* Limit the number of handguns Chicago residents can register to one per month and prohibit them from having more than one functional handgun at a time.

* Require residents with children to keep firearms in lock boxes or equipped with deadly trigger locks.

* Require those looking to purchase firearms to take a four-hour class and one-hour training at a gun range. Buyers would even have to leave Chicago because the city limits the use of ranges to police officers.

* Prohibit people from owning a gun if they have two or more convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

* Maintain a centralized registration database with the names and addresses of every handgun owner in the city.
