Right: “I can’t believe that guy from New York said ok when the governor begged us to take a pic with him.”

Our hero Gov Rauner! What a privilege to stand next to man who is the ultimate Show Horse! Doesn’t even have to provide a budget for his own agencies, let alone anybody else!
One cool dude that gets to just goof off ALL THE TIME! OUR HERO!!!!!

Is the helmet on backwards?
Perhaps the Turnaround Agenda could begin with the helmet.

BR: TAKE THE PIC

This picture is taken literally across the street from his condo. Did he put on a helmet to cross traffic? Was he worried about being pelted with tomatoes?

After posing with the governor, the workers returned to the tree and resumed making cookies and snack crackers.

Rauner has always been very comfortable wearing a helmet, since birth, I believe. If it wasn’t for protective head gear, Bruce Rauner would have had a serious head injury by now, trying to get his head through doorways.

There is another Instagram post of this photo, uncropped, from the organization’s account, which seems to indicate that Rauner just happened to be rollerblading through the park at the time.
I kid you not.
Rollerblading while Rome burns.

I definitely have a new favorite hashtag. #rauneronrollerblades
It also has possibilities as an epithet or an interjection of frustration or surprise. E.g., “*&#@$ Rauner on Rollerblades, another Bears turnover!”
