RAHMWATCH: Chicago's mayor does photo op with Polish leaders
[Editor's Note: Whether the "Mayor's Press Office" has ever been approved to produce daily doses of propaganda on behalf of the Mayor of Chicago while ignoring virtually every other bit of news in the city of three million and across Chicago's 50 wards, as Chicago moves towards the second anniversary of the inauguration of former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel as the mayor, the daily dose of propaganda on behalf of the Reign of Rahm continued on January 18, 2013, with the press release below].
MAYOR EMANUEL MEETS WITH DELEGATION LEADERS AMBASSADOR RYSZARD SCHNEPF AND UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE BEATA STELMACH OF POLAND. Talks Centered On Opportunities for Greater Collaboration and Economic Development... This morning [January 18, 2013], Mayor Rahm Emanuel met with Poland’s Ambassador to the United States, Ambassador Ryszard Schnepf and Under Secretary of State Beata Stelmach.

The Mayor's Press Office even sent along the following helpful caption: "Photo Caption: Mayor Emanuel meets with Ambassador Schnepf and Under Secretary of State Stelmach of Poland.

The Polish capital city of Warsaw represents the first Sister City agreement entered into by Chicago, in 1960. Approximately one million Polish-Americans live in the Chicago-area, the largest population of people of Polish heritage outside of Warsaw. Over 200,000 Poles reside in the City of Chicago.
In attendance alongside Ambassador Schnepf and Under Secretary of State Stelmach were the Consul General in Chicago, Paulina Kapuscinska and Director of the Economic Department in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Grzegorz Kozlowski. While in Chicago Ambassador Schnepf and Undersecretary Stelmach have also participated in a program co-hosted by World Business Chicago and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
Mayor Emanuel continues to foster positive economic development with foreign countries as a tool to strengthen Chicago’s economy. To further those efforts, over the past several months the Mayor has met with dignitaries from Indonesia, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, China and Lithuania.
