Chicagor mayor and top Obama supporter Rahm Emanuel dismissed a statement from Mitt Romney praising his administration for holding out against striking teachers. 

“While I appreciate his lip service, what really counts is what we are doing here,” Emaneul told reporters, according to the Associated Press. “I don’t give two hoots about national comments scoring political points or trying to embarrass — or whatever — the president.”

Emanuel suggested that if Romney truly wanted to help, he’d pledge not to cut education funding.
