Telegraph: Reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is to leave the Obama Administration on Friday to run for Mayor of Chicago. Its interesting timing folks, a month before the 2010 Mid Term Elections, one can postulate that once Mr Emanuel is back in Chicago the Obama White House will blame him if President Obama loses the House and Senate in November. As noted in few articles from the US it seems that Mr Emanuel had constant runs in with the liberals around Obama, also you have a President who thinks he is the smartest person in the room, when you have Bob Woodward in the room with the President its not Obama that is the smartest. If the Republicans take the House and Senate and it looks like the Republicans will take the House and get parity with the Democrats in the Senate the Obama White House will have a decision, in 1994 Bill Clinton had the same election outcome, he moved the centre and won re-election in 1996, but Clinton like Reagan was pragmatic, Obama as stated thinks he is the smartest person in the room, how will his arrogance and ego cope with a Congress that just says NO. This election in some odd respects will really show the Obama character, can he be pragmatic, or is he so stuck to the liberal cause that he wants to be a one term President like Carter.
