I'll be a very honest Mayor, Scout's Honor! Mostly....
"Yeah, buddy, school is cool!!!"
I'll be a great Mayor, Scout's Honor! Mostly....

I, Rahm Emanuel, do solemnly swear, but not in the presence of children with cameras rolling!
In unfamiliar territory, Mr Emanuel greeted the natives in the only way he learned in the 5th grade, "How!"
Rahm: "Come with me if you want to live. Just kidding kid, I'm not from the future."
-Wyatt Knight
If you flip people off, THIS is what happens to your middle finger!
High five! OK, high 4.7!

"High five my main man!" Rahm finds his new security chief.
Oh yeah, giveing 10 year olds high fives. That should bring in the votes!
High five little dude, don't leave me hanging, and tell your mom not to leave me hanging come election day!
