NBC's Harry Smith Wonders if Rahm Emanuel Will Be 'First Jewish President'
In an interview with Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel set to air on Monday's Rock Center on NBC, correspondent Harry Smith wonders if President Obama's former chief of staff will one day sit in the Oval Office: "They think that you're using this – Rahm Emanuel, first Jewish president." [Audio available here]
During a promo that aired Wednesday night on the broadcast network, the NBC announcer proclaimed: "No one and nothing stands in his way. Rahm Emanuel, a mayor with attitude running a city that needs it." [View video after the jump]
Back in June, ABC's George Stephanopoulos interviewed Emanuel and asked the same question as Smith: "But, you know, if you do a good job here, a lot of Democrats are going to be talking about you to run for President in 2016."
Stephanopoulos and Emanuel served together as aides in the Clinton White House, Harry Smith just wishes he did.

I'll be the first, call me racist already!

I don't want Rahm-bo as the first Jewish president anymore than I wanted Obeyme as the first "Black" president.(he's not black, he's white and african-arabian with a hint of black)
Does that make me racist? Yeah, to these liberals, it would, but we'd get the same kind of crap if not worse from Rahm.

Let him run. This guy has made enough enemies even among his own Party that there'll be plenty of anecdotal fuel for controversy.
But see if he can fix Chicago first. He's running up against some powerful unions.

Now I would have thought the only place Rahm Emanuel COULD win an election would be Chicago, but that's just me. I guess there's no need to ask who this marionette would vote for if he did run.

I doubt it; his parole board would never allow him to leave the state.

Then NBC hired him because:
1) he sucks so much he fits right in and;
2) they needed someone stupid enough to wear a bowtie.
Duh

Rahm Emanuel was born in Israel and is disqualified from becoming President of the United States. Geez, even a 2nd grader knows that. But then again, We are talking about NBC News here.
