Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is up for reelection, and President Obama stopped by his campaign headquarters to praise his mayor.

“[T]he main reason I’m here is just to say thank you to all of you who are helping out Rahm.  Rahm Emanuel is somebody who cares deeply about this city.  He cares deeply about the children of this city.  He’s been willing to make some really hard decisions on behalf of those children and on behalf of our future.  Everybody knows that he is passionate and he is tough and he is dogged in making sure that the city of Chicago is not just the coldest city — but also the greatest city,” Obama said during a stop at Emanuel’s Chicago campaign headquarters.
