They say it's because of "pressures" and "Administration's unwilingness to 'knock heads' to get policy passed."

And that is full-on Bulllarky. It's an obvious ploy, to use his reputation for aggressive politics, to cover up the fact that someone HAS SOMETHING on ole' Rahmmy, in regards to the bribery scandal from a few weeks back that you hear NOTHING about now.

Someone has pulled the blackmail card on him, and has said "It's time to go." He must have threatened to involve Obama in it.

Rahm asked Bill Clinton to talk to Joe Sestak about dropping out of his Senate race in exchange for government appointment

Rahm apparently let it leak that Blagojavich (Former IL. Gov) was trying to sell Obama's senate seat.

Rahm Lived 5 years rent free in a DC apartment, owned by BP advisor:

And don't forget:

Lots of ammo by the administration insiders available to make Rahm quietly leave now that he is becoming an political belligerant from inside the West Wing. Take your pick.

Big deal. Taking away his official title won't stop anything. The only way to actually get him out of the administration is to put him behind bars.

Maybe Rahm has decided to continue his career in the Israeli military.

That is one evil bastard, but him quitting won't change anything. The government still remains an evil force. :(

Rahm Emanuel: Report That He Is Leaving White House Is 'B.S.'

1 day ago

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has this sharp rebuttal to a story in a British newspaper that he's leaving the White House: "This is B.S. And if you need it for translation, it is baseless," Emanuel said in a statement.

His comment came Monday after a story in the Daily Telegraph said the White House chief of staff will depart the Obama administration after the midterm elections. The story had no substantive sourcing.

The former Illinois congressman does serve at the pleasure of the president -- as do all appointees -- and has discussed the toll the job has taken on him, the father of three young children, and his family. Emanuel at one time was telling people he might leave at the end of this year, fulfilling a pledge to President Obama to stay two years, but I'm now told he has made family plans to remain in Washington next year, a strong signal that he's not giving up his current job.

The only situation that could change Emanuel's plans is if Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley decides not to run for re-election next year. Emanuel has been open about wanting to run City Hall in his hometown. Daley's team has said the mayor is not going to announce his decision for the 2011 contest until after the November elections.

Rahm says it is BS.

Nixon said that Watergate was BS too right up until before his resignation. Remember who we are dealing with here. Shifty, no morals but the win/lose philosophy.
