Chicago instantly looks brighter.
Via Fox News:
Nearly eight years ago, Rahm Emanuel, President Barack Obama’s brash, f-bomb dropping former chief of staff swept to power in Chicago promising to cut down on crime and corruption and be the much-needed adult in the room to run America’s third-largest city.
Fast forward to Tuesday, Mayor Emanuel, in a surprise announcement, said he would not be seeking a third term, leaving behind a legacy of record homicide levels, soaring crime rates and a deep racial divide that has polarized the Windy City.
“For the last seven and a half years I’ve given my all every day and left everything on the field,” Emanuel said at a press conference this week. “This commitment has required significant sacrifice all around.”
