The man who is now the Mayor of Chicago is commonly referred to by conservatives as 'the Godfather' due to his history that implies connections with the mob. Rahm Emanuel, who served as Obama's Chief of Staff until he resigned to run for Mayor, once sent a dead fish wrapped in newspaper to a pollster who had angered him.
A dead fish wrapped in newspaper is a classic symbol the mob uses to warn individuals that they are either dangerously close to becoming targets or are already targets of retaliation by the Mafia.
It was widely speculated among conservatives when Rahm announced his candidacy for Mayor that the move was a signal that the infamous Chicago political machine, which has been known for deep corruption and election rigging, particularly under Mayor Richard Daley, Sr., had tapped Rahm as the one who would continue its stranglehold on the city.
