Needed is an intelligent leader. Look what Rudy Giuliani did for crime in NY while Mayor. Rahm Emanuel, Chicago's Mayor, is unqualified to the position and has no clue how to deal with Chicago's crime. Being Obama's unqualified Chief of Staff surely vaulted him into Obama's Chicago top spot, with voters not taking into consideration whether or not he was qualified for the position. Chicago voters put him in the position so as we see in Chicago and in DC, what you get is what you vote for. I am not saying Democrats seem more prone to failure but just look how well Detroit and San Francisco are doing, along with many other Democratically controlled cities. Just sayin!!
