While introducing President Obama in June, Mayor Rahm Emanuel joked to Chicago Democrats that when Obama is in town the weather improves.

“The president arrives, the rain stops, the sun comes out.” Emanuel said. “Coincidence? I think not.”

Emanuel added that last time the president visited, the weather “was 71 degrees and beautiful.”

“He arrives, the sun comes out, and things are beautiful again.” Emanuel concluded.
