Elizabeth Brackett speaks to Rahm Emanuel about his job as senior adviser to President Clinton, and about the path that led him to that position.

0:10Copy video clip URL Elizabeth Brackett visits the White House office of Rahm Emanuel, senior adviser to President Clinton. Emanuel describes his job as “the intersection between press, policy, and politics.” Emanuel is more of a centrist than George Stephanopoulos, Clinton’s former senior adviser, although Emanuel does not think they are all that different.
