White House stuns city by pulling plug on G8 in Chicago; Emanuel releases statement: The White House, not City Hall, made the bombshell decision to pull the G8 summit out of Chicago, multiple sources are reporting. Mayor Rahm Emanuel issued a statement earlier this afternoon wishing President Barack Obama and other world leaders well. He added that hosting the NATO summit “(still) is a tremendous opportunity to showcase Chicago to the world and the world to Chicago.”
