Black Chicago Mayoral Candidate to America's 'First' Black President: Shut Up

Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL) is warning Bill Clinton to keep his nose out of the Chicago Mayor's race. His threat? Withdrawal of affection.

"The African American community has enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with the Clintons, however it appears as though some of that relationship maybe fractured and perhaps even broken should former President Clinton come to town and participate overtly in efforts to thwart the legitimate political aspirations of Chicago's Black community," Davis said in the statement.

There's something perversely funny in that, if Clinton campaigns for Emanuel then of course that means he's trying to "thwart the legitimate political aspirations of Chicago's Black community."

Oddly, threatening "not to love Bill anymore" is probably the only threat that actually would make him slow down and think it over.

Recent poll shows Davis lagging far behind Raum.
