If Rahm doesn't resign will there be a falling out between Black politicians like Obama and BLM?

[betterdemsonly]

Afterall, Rahm would not have won without the support of Obama and his supporters. If Rahm does not resign it is hard to imagine Obama and the Black leadership not supporting him again. Black voters were the only traditionally democratic constituent group Rahm won, and Obama campaigned for him vociferously.

1. This might just happen.

The next few weeks will tell the story. If we see 1968 things starting to appear,we will see Rahmn out or we can kiss our asses good bye for the next election.

7. Particularly if Hillary wins since she supported Rahm too. n/t

19. If the Police Dept does not take action in the next few weeks,

and do out reach,Chi-Town will explode. To dam much at stake for the Dems and Their Money People. If Rahmn refuses to step up,we will see 68' all over again and we can kiss our asses good bye.

2. No, but nice try.

[betterdemsonly]

4. So Obama won't support Rahm if he runs again?

If he does, I don't see how this won't create conflict with BLM.

8. I recognize how the folks who tried to unseat Rahm would try & use BLM for a second bite at the....

apple, but why drag PBO & "black leadership" into it? Rahm was duly elected, and it's apparent he's not going to resign anytime soon, so maybe you guys can go after him another way? Using BLM to further your own agenda is nothing short of disrespectful.

9. I did not make blm protest Rahm. They are doing it on their own.

I didn't make Rahm cover up the video tape of the cop shooting that kid either. That sort of thing just tends to inspire protests from blm.

11. That's between Rahm & BLM. Again, why drag PBO & "black leadership" into it? Agenda much?

[betterdemsonly]

13. I don't think Rahm would have won without Obama's support.

I don't see how Obama and other black leaders will not support him again if he does not resign.

10. Using the initials "PBO" to identify "BHO" is not very respectful either.

He has initials.

Or maybe the next president will be PHC?

3. Yes, I do believe so with respect the Black leadership, and for good reason.

With respect to Obama, I'd say no. He's lame duck status now so I imagine he would stick by his friend.

5. No

And the insinuation is ludicrous

[betterdemsonly]

6. What insinuation? n/t

12. This post is idiotic race-baiting horseshit.

Emmanuel was elected mayor, not appointed. Obama can't fire him.

[betterdemsonly]

15. Who is asking Obama to fire him?

Obama campaigned for him. It unlikely Rahm would have won if Obama hadn't done that. Rahm would not have won without the black community voting in the majority for him. If Rahm does not resign it is hard to imagine that Obama and other black leaders will not support him again, or are you saying they won't? It is hard to see how supporting Rahm again will not inspire a rift with blm. They constitute the majority of protesters demanding resignation right now.

[geek tragedy]

17. It is very unlikely Rahm will run for a third term, and even less likely Obama will endorse him.

In any event, Obama will be out of office by the time Rahm is up for re-election.

[betterdemsonly]

18. Out of office doesn't mean out of politics.

He is still young and part of the democratic party. If Rahm will not run, why not just resign?

[B Calm]

14. I see no reason what so ever for him to resign!

[betterdemsonly]

16. You don't think covering up the video tape during the election

is a bit Nixonian? You don't think that represents protecting a police officer who unfairly murdered a young black man? Even Bernie Sanders your avatar thinks it was bullshit and says he doesn't want support from the likes of Rahm.

20. You are never going to please everyone..

... I suspect that both groups will cling to their power as best they can.
