Rahm Slams Romney: Ad Highlighting Chicago's Decline Strikes A Nerve

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Rahm isn't happy with Romney's attacks on Chicago:
“Because of the tough decisions the president made, discarding all the conventional wisdom that was then spewed around, 1.2 million people today have a job.

“President Obama doubled down on America. Mitt Romney wanted to see ‘em go bankrupt. And also, I’d just like to note to the [former] governor in case he needs a rendezvous with his record, when he was governor, Massachusetts was 47th out of 50 in job production. In case he forgot that, I’d like to remind him of that.”
