President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel,
refused to take questions from reporters this morning about whether
he was the Obama “advisor” named in the criminal complaint
against Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
The complaint states Blagojevich wanted a promise of a high-level
appointment or some other reward for Blagojevich in exchange for
Blagojevich naming Obama’s friend Valerie Jarrett to replace
him in the U.S. Senate.
Emanuel was uncharacteristically absent from Obama’s news
conference this morning. He was spotted two hours later in the
lobby of Chicago’s City Hall. He was there to listen to
his two children performing in a concert with their school, Anshe
Emet.
A Sun-Times reporter pressed him to comment about whether he
was the emissary named in the criminal complaint.

“You’re wasting your time,” Emanuel said. “I’m
not going to say a word to you. I’m going to do this with
my children. Dont do that. I’m a father. I have two kids.
I’m not going to do it.”
Asked, “Can’t you do both?” Emanuel replied,
“I’m not as capable as you. I’m going to be
a father. I’m allowed to be a father,” and he pushed
the reporter’s digital recorder away.
