Rahm Emanuel and his Small Man Syndrome plays out in Washington for all to see. He has the reputation in Chicago politics and now Washington, of being combative, ruthless, callous, merciless, cruel and unfeeling. He continues down this path of slash and burn as Obama’s henchman chief of staff.
Some symptoms of the Small man syndrome …
Small Man Syndrome (SMS) is a humorous or supposed condition affecting short men which makes them excessively competitive as a way of compensating their lack of stature. It is a rare and incurable disease. Symptoms :
In many cases these small men make humorous comments about others, that others don’t find funny. They try to attract others to join in with their flow of insults and start laughing in order to attract attention. They often attempt to physically jump on people or physically attack people due to their lack of stature. People who suffer this disease often use abusive language such as – weedick, no balls, peetit, lil vagina, juggernoob and shitface. A common metaphor describing these people is ‘a disease in which a midgets head is too big for his body.’ Moreover these people try to promote their malnourished physique by showing off something they possess. These people often get into fights where they are in the wrong due to arguments that they claim to be right. This is a recurring problem as they always think that they are right even though it is vividly obvious that they are wrong. One could then imagine that such person with this attitude lead on to problems to others and mainly themselves. Moreover, people who suffer SMS often have restraints in their strength or physical ability so when they get into a fight, where they are the more vulnerable side they often carry out ‘cheap shots’ for example; hair-pulling, shouting insults, grabbing/squeezing people’s body parts, pinching and biting. These people often enjoy showing-off and seeking attention, especially to a ‘group of mates’ by speaking loudly or shouting insults at people when on the phone. Others symptoms include over exaggerating points to people and lying to make them sound bigger. These people also make-up stories about themselves and ‘mates’, to further seek attention from friends that most likely dislike them.
Whatever it takes to get a vote, however it takes to win, he is willing to do it. He loves to bleed but he loves to see the other guy bleed out. If you desire to go head to head with this guy you better call home and tell them you are going to miss supper because you will be late.

Rahm has been described as the epitome of Chicago thuggery. He is the arm twister and knee capper in Obama’s slew of weapons at his legislating disposal. If Obama is the head of the Democrat party then Rahm is the first lieutenant in this thuggish organization.
He has lambasted groups of Democrats for being spineless and wimpy. He has used such insulting language on some that there have been calls for his resignation by people such as Sarah Palin

How much longer Rahm will be the chief of staff for a President who refuses to come down off his perch and get his shoes wet and his hands muddy is anyone’s guess.
One thing that is common in all small man syndrome “victims.” They never grow up enough to be considered a decent man.
