Looks like we have a potential future presidential candidate with Rahm Emanuel, and a Jewish one at that! There has never been a Jewish president of the United States. Could Rahm Emanuel be the first?
Why would I say something like this? Rahm Emanuel is very familiar with the White House. He’s currently the White House Chief of Staff, and has served that role for the Clinton administration as well.
His career path could go something like this:
- White House Chief of Staff
- Chicago Mayor
- Illinois Senator
- Presidential Candidate
At 50 years of age, Mr. Emanuel has enough time to walk this path.
UPDATE
As of October 3, 2010, Rahm Emanuel has announced that he is indeed running for Mayor of Chicago.
