• Emanuel was quickly gaining a reputation for abusive, disparaging tirades.

• Emanuel believes in Universal Citizen Service. In a book he co-authored, The Plan: Big Ideas for America, he calls for, among other things, compulsory service for all Americans ages 18 to 25. He states:

"It's time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service. ...

Here's how it would work. Young people will know that between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service. They'll be asked to report for three months of basic civil defense training in their state or community, where they will learn what to do in the event of biochemical, nuclear or conventional attack; how to assist others in an evacuation; how to respond when a levee breaks or we're hit by a natural disaster. These young people will be available to address their communities' most pressing needs."

• Emanuel supported President Obama's own plan to require high school students to perform 50 hours of government-approved service.[9]
