Rahm: I'm Not Up for the Job...

Turns out, the skills you need to get yourself elected, and the skills you need to create Change don't necessarily overlap.

Sylvia Logan, an 81-year-old from Woodlawn, said the decision makes sense.

“Do you know why he’s not going to run? He won’t win,” Logan said during lunch in Hyde Park. “He hasn’t done enough for the city and people don’t like him. They don’t like his attitude, they don’t like how he does things.”

She said the Laquan McDonald video dismantled any work the mayor has done.

“He knew a police officer shot a child and he would not expose the tape to the public,” Logan said. “That’s not right. I see things I don’t like about him. My children and grandchildren have to suffer the consequences. We need a new mayor. President Barack Obama recommended Emanuel to us, and it was a bad choice.”

ADDED:  Meghan McCain lost her father in the past week, and today learned she was rejected for the Freshman Year Drama Club for her over-the-top funeral performance about her father and his "esteemed lineage"...

In related news, the Washington Cathedral has announced they will no longer serve as a venue for the Drama Club tryouts.  Secular events are no longer welcome in God's house... ("Whose House??")  I don't think Meghan understands the distinctions between her father and our Father.  And she sure as heck doesn't understand:  it's Arizona's Senate seat, not John McCain's.  He was just keeping it warm while he was alive.
