It's a small world after all!

There is talk about the possibility of Rahm Emanuel being appointed as the next White House Chief of Staff in a future Obama presidency (if he should win the upcoming elections).

Not only did he serve in the IDF, and not only is his family originally Israeli (I think even originally pre-state Palestinian), but, even more importantly, his father was my pediatrician when I was growing up in Chicago. He was the greatest of doctors, and unfortunately retired a few years ago.

That alone qualifies Rahm Emanuel to be the White House Chief of Staff....

  3. He did not serve in the IDF. That was a false rumor started by an antisemitic Chicago Polish group.

  5. to really thank you, he should offer you a position in the white house staff, or even give you the contract for supplying all the paint and wallpaper to the US government...

  6. He was also my bechor's pediatrician for about a year until he retired (I just noted that in my latest post.)
