Rahm Emanuel Catching the Rains Down in Africa

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

With the Obama offices just about to release something that resembles information about its alleged ties to Rod Blagojevich's office, soon-to-be Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is making a break for it

Incoming White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel left on Tuesday for a "long planned family vacation in Africa," a transition official confirmed to the Huffington Post…

Transition officials did not specify where in Africa he went, though another source said the family would be going on a safari. Nevertheless, it's an interesting choice for a holiday vacation.

At least Emanuel was smart enough to chose an actual other continent.

Barack Obama made the very common mistake of assuming he was leaving the country by going to Hawaii.

  1. Welcome back, oboe (formerly obamagramma)! Did Hopey do something to displease you so that you changed your name? Or did you take up a new instrument? You know the old joke about the oboe? Actually, I love the sound, when it's played well. Happy holidays!

  2. A Safari is a overland journey. The region is best known for its wildebeest and zebra migration, which tends to pass through the area July to October, but many areas offer excellent gameviewing year round.

    With over 100 camps in such a small area, traffic avoidance needs to be the number one consideration when planning a decent safari. You do need to go to Kenya to destroy a birth certificate

  3. Rahm is at EuroDisney laughing his hyena off.

  4. He had to go to make sure that obama's terrorist family keeps their mouths shut abut his real birthplace. A cathouse in Africa.

  5. Sad, but true safari story: one of my son's friends was eaten by hyenas on safari. True. He was 12. His grief-stricken parents screamed repeatedly in the media that someone should be held accountable, someone should pay – called their politicians, ambassadors, the local officials, everyone. The locals just shrugged and said, 'what do you expect? It's safari. It happens.'

    Sometimes, no matter how much money you have, and how absolutely entitled and untouchable you think you are, nature still finds a way to show you who's boss.

    Have a nice time, Rahm, and remember you're not in America when you're in Africa. Disneyland it is not.

  6. Rahm went to Africa to forge Obama's birth certificate and did not go on a safari.

  7. Believe it or not, if I use that search list up up to "terrorist" I get 8 hits.

    Hmmm… 8 hits… That needs to be part of the 12 Days of Chirstmas. And a 6 pack of beer.

  8. Someone better take a refresher course in geography. Palin says Africa is a country and such. If we had more maps for U.S. Americans, you might know that.

    P.S. Bearness, if people get a hold of that, this thread will blow up. Sweet. Maybe this will help. OBAMA, KENYA, BIRTH CERTIFICATE, RAHM, SAFARI, FORGERY, DONOFRIO, PHILIP BERG, CERT GRANTED, SUPREME COURT TO CONSIDER BERG CASE, BIRTHERS, NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, MUSLIM, TERRORIST, NUDE, NAKED, RUTH BADER GINSBURG. GO GOOGLE. IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY.

  9. Obviously he is going on a "safari". And by "safari" I mean destroying birth certificates.

  10. Yes, Hawaii is the 57th state. It also has it's eyes close together, just like Rod Blagojevich.
