Washington DC, Apr 21 (THAINDIAN NEWS) The Chief of Staff of the of the Obama administration – Rahm Emanuel recently revealed that his dream job is to be the Mayor of Chicago. He also said that he would have no problem in leaving his high profile present job, if he could be the Mayor of his hometown – Chicago.
Rahm Emanuel said very candidly that he was hoping that the present Mayor – Richard Daley would run again for the post in November, but he also said that in case Richard Daley didn’t run for the post of the Mayor, then “one day I would like to run”. Richard Daley is the Mayor of Chicago for the sixth consecutive term, and it is expected that he would also run for the record seventh term. However he could also drop out of the Mayoral race, because his wife has cancer, and he might sacrifice his political career to be a family man.
He also added that to be the mayor of Chicago has “always been an aspiration of mine. Right now I’m a chief of staff. I’m in the Cabinet … but one day I want to run again,” Mr. Emanuel said to Charlie Rose in an interview.
