DescriptionIn dealing with the press, Mayor Rahm Emanuel often tries to emulate his former boss, President Barack Obama. But Emanuel can’t match Obama’s calm demeanor.

In fact Emanuel’s temper can get the best of him. I found out yesterday when I asked him a question about where his children would go to school, and he let his famous temper emerge.

For some background, I had the chance to ask Barack Obama a similar question in 2008, just after he had won election and was transitioning to the White House.

Since the president had sent his own children — Malia and Sasha — to private schools in Chicago we wondered how he might relate to the nation’s public education struggles.
