Life in Rahm’s Chicago. Teachers take Rahm to school.


Even the Chicago Sun-Times, which was recently bought by close pals of the Mayor, have pointed out the obvious.
Chicago teachers have taken Rahm to school.

For a political chess player who never makes a move without thinking three moves ahead, Mayor Rahm Emanuel looks more like a high school clubber than a grand master when it comes to the teachers contract.

One year into his first term as mayor, the guy who came swaggering into town with a reputation as a tough foul-mouthed street fighter has been shown to be the suburban whiny rich kid that he really always was.
It is proper that the ones who have brought him down to earth are Chicago’s teachers, led by their truly tough-as-nails president, Karen Lewis.
