Shortly after his victory  ,Mr.Rahm Eamnuel was the first pick of Mr.Obama for The White House Chief Of Staff .This is a short and breif biography of him according to Winkepedia.

Emanuel was born in Chicago, Illinois. His father, the Jerusalem-born Benjamin M. Emanuel, is a pediatrician and was a member of the Irgun, a militant Zionist group active during the British Mandate of Palestine. His mother, Martha Smulevitz, worked as an X-ray technician and was the daughter of a local union organizer.[1] She became a civil rights activist; she was also once the owner of a Chicago-area rock and roll club.[5] The two met in Chicago in the 1950s.[6] Emanuel's older brother, Ezekiel, is a noted oncologist and bioethicist, and his brother, Ari, is a talent agent in Los Angeles and inspired Jeremy Piven's character Ari Gold on the HBO series Entourage.[1] Emanuel himself is also the inspiration for the character Josh Lyman on The West Wing.[1] He also has a younger sister named Shoshanna, 14 years his junior.[1]

When his family lived in Chicago, he attended Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School, a Jewish day school. After his family moved to Wilmette, he attended public school: Romona School, Wilmette Junior High School, and New Trier High School.[6]
Emanuel was encouraged by his mother to take ballet lessons as a boy
and is a graduate of the Evanston School of Ballet. He won a
scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet but turned it down to attend Sarah Lawrence College, a liberal arts school with a strong dance program.[7][1] He graduated from college in 1981, and went on to receive a master's degree in Speech and Communication from Northwestern University in 1985. While still a student at Sarah Lawrence, he joined the congressional campaign of David Robinson of Chicago

Irgun was a group that fought againsit British in Israel and Mr.Rahm's father was a member.
