Rahm Emanuel may resign after the mid-term elections

  According to this article, Rahm Emanuel is going to resign as Barack Obama’s Chief of Staff and the resignation will most likely happen after the mid-term elections.

  According to the article, the reason for Rahm Emanuel’s likely departure is because of his frustration that Barack Obama has not been forceful enough in pushing his leftist agenda. Rahm Emanuel wants Barack Obama to “bang heads together” and is apparently not satisfied with the pace that the Obama regime has been operating on up until this point.

  Having watched the way Barack Obama and congress bent the rules in order to pass healthcare reform against the will of the people, and seeing how the Obama regime is readying unpopular cap and trade and immigration reform legislation to ram down the throats of unwilling Americans I have to wonder if there is more to this story than we are being told.

  This story just does not hold water in my opinion, so could there be another reason that Rahm Emanuel is preparing to resign? Could it be the fact that according to this article Rahm Emanuel was seeking to trade favors with disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich? While Rahm Emanuel’s conversations with the hopefully soon to be convicted Blagojevich do not have appeared to have been against the law, it certainly represents a black eye to the man who promised to run the most ethical and honest administration in history. Is it possible that Barack Obama has actually asked for Rahm Emanuel’s resignation in order to avoid the embarrassment of having it learned that he selected him as Chief of Staff with the knowledge that he had been talking to Blagojevich? I think so.

  This would help to explain why Rahm Emanuel is planning to hold onto his job until after the mid-term elections; he does not want to be in the midst of a potential scandal in the months leading up to the mid-terms. So he will hang on and hope that nothing comes of either the leak of his impending resignation, or the revelations that he was seeking favor trading with Rod Blagojevich.

  Whatever the reason for his departure ends up being, this is good news for the American people. While his departure will probably not have an effect on the way Barack Obama operates, and while it will not have an effect on what Barack Obama hopes to accomplish– turning American into a European-style socialist country– because Barack Obama is an ideologue, perhaps without the pressure of constant fabricated crisis to scare the American people onto supporting legislation they would otherwise oppose, it might just slow Barack Obama down a little bit.
