Will Rahm Be Gone By The End of The Year?

There is heavy speculation that White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel may be gone by the end of the year according to the Telegraph.co.uk. Factors that may lead to Emanuel's exit range from conflicting styles with President Obama's inner circle, to running for mayor if his home town in Chicago. If Emanuel does exit, the president will have concluded the usual growing pains of a first term administration. The wear and tear of the job is wearing on President Obama, but if he can get through this year without any additional hiccups, things should begin to smooth out for him.
