Rahm, or "Rahmmy" as he's called, is an energetic, engaging, and effective public official. He's steered very important legislation to passage, including the historic Health Care Reform Bill.
This blogger personally met Mr. Emanuel during the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver. Rahm threw a giant party at Faldo's in downtown Denver that drew 1,000 people. I talked with him then, and then again at Pepsi Center twice. At that time, he was a Congressman; he gave up his position to help President Obama in the White House.
The man who will replace him, Peter Rouse, has the title of "Interim White House Chief Of Staff." Let's see how long that will last. Rouse is well respected and has a different style, shall we say, than Rahm.
I like Rahm and think he will be an outstanding Mayor of Chicago. But he's got to get elected first.
