Former President Bill Clinton will make his long-awaited campaign stop for Chicago mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Clinton will attend a rally and fundraiser for President Obama's former chief of staff at the Chicago Cultural Center next week. Emanuel also served Clinton as deputy chief of staff.

Clinton has been warned by former mayoral candidate, Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.), and candidate former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun (D-Ill.) to stay out of the primary, which will be held Feb. 22.

"The African-American community has enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with the Clintons; however, it appears as though some of that relationship may be fractured and perhaps even broken should former President Clinton come to town and participate overtly in efforts to thwart the legitimate political aspirations of Chicago’s black community," Davis said after the news broke last month.

1. Birds of a Feather

If I were in Chicago I'd vote for anyone but someone Clinton recommended.

Remember he supported Blanche Lincoln, and though he did a few good things as a Democrat, clearly the guy is only a fe inches from Newt Gingrinch.

If Obama has a problem it is that he's embraced the Clinton policies, and employed a bunch of Clintonists, in a time that calls for more FDR types. We're on to Clinton as having been part of the problem--of supporting and signing into law in 1999 a banking deregulation bill, GATT, NAFTA, and the WTO.

Find a more liberal candidate than the foul-mouthed Rahm Emmanual. Until we start showing these centrist democrats we don't like they, they'll keep on placing their lips on the asses of the rich.
