Unfortunately, this doesn't really come as much of a shock:

Mr. Emanuel said he knew the Obama-mania was waning in his household when he told his son recently that they would again be savoring father-son bonding time at the White House on a Saturday.

The 12-year-old did not jump for joy. He set conditions.

"I'll go," his son said, "but I don't want to sit through another Iranian meeting."

It'd be interesting to hear what Rahm's son said after his last Iran meeting. Did he favor the do nothing and stay silent policy that the White House ultimately decided on? Also note that even a 12-year-old is smart enough to see the value in setting preconditions for a trip to the White House. I'm betting little Rahm was a Hillary supporter.
