Rahm Emanuel Pirouettes: ‘I’ll leave Solyndra to you, I’m going to focus on the children of Chicago’
And keep dangerously delicious chicken sandwiches out of their hands!
Chicago “values include letting anti-Semites with a history of violence patrol Chicago’s streets vigilante style” Mayor Rahm Emanuel was asked about his role in the Solyndra scandal on local radio today. He tried deflecting.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel said, “You know, Bill, I’m opening schools, I’m cutting the deficit in half, the city of Chicago is leading in job creation in the country…I’ll leave Solyndra to you, I’m going to focus on the children of Chicago.”
Last time the mayor “focused on the children of the city of Chicago” was a couple of weeks ago, when he appealed to gang banger murderers’ “values.”
Chicago’s murder rate remains out of control. Emanuel’s obvious defensiveness in the audio clip linked above has me dreaming of a perp walk for the overbearing mayor. He sounds like someone who really may have something to hide.
For now, I would like for one reporter somewhere to ask Mayor Emanuel one simple question: Why does Louis Farrakhan represent Chicago values enough to allow him to have his followers patrol Chicago’s streets, but Dan Cathy is so repugnant that Emanuel wants to ban his business from Chicago? Both Farrakhan and Cathy oppose same-sex marriage. So what’s the difference?
I’m sure Emanuel would try the “focus on the kids” deflection again, but the audio or video of him squirming would be gold.
As for Rahm Emanuel’s role in Solyndra, well, it was apparently his genius idea to invest half a billion taxpayer dollars in a business whose leaders thought Washington, DC is a giant bank.
Will the facts surrounding John Corzine’s multi-billion dollar White House retirement fund ever come to light? He says he “doesn’t know” where those BILLIONS went…..riiiiiight, and nobody’s asking either. The silence is deafening. The most criminal, corrupt administration EVER….
The MSM is just as much a domestic enemy of this country as the democratic party; they are covering-up and enabling this massive ‘transformation’ to occur. I am still astonished, after 45 years, that people can be so evil.
You know, Bill, I’m opening schools, I’m cutting the deficit in half, the city of Chicago is leading in job creation in the country…I’ll leave Solyndra to you, I’m going to focus on the children of Chicago.”
This is the speaking pattern of a scoundrel.

BarocheDique – JPMorgan has MFGlobals clients billions and that is where they will stay, after all they are TBTF.
As for Rahm Emanuel, in a different time both he and Obama would have been put up against a wall and executed for treason.
Up until a couple of months ago the un-evolved Obama shared Cathy’s position on gay marriage, but I don’t recall Rahm saying that his re-election headquarters wasn’t welcome in town.
Good point, Kelly, but of course logical consistency isn’t a concern for liberals/”progressives.” Sorta’ like libs being so against war when it was Iraq/Bush but no problem with flying bombing missions in Libya.
Or Obozo criticizing the addition of 300,000 jobs a month as being terrible, but when the economy adds 160,000 under HIS regime it’s a great performance.
Or Obozo bitching about Bush being too generous with banks and Wall Street, but when his regime gives billions to the same characters it’s crucial to saving the economy.
The MSM only demands consistency of conservatives.
