Subject: Breaking News: William Daley resigns as White House chief of staff
Bill Daley tells ABC News that he resigned last week as chief of staff, as first reported by the Los Angeles Times.

Senior administration officials confirm that Jacob “Jack” Lew, the current director of the Office of Management and Budget, will be the new chief of staff.

Daley was brought in to replace Rahm Emanuel, but in November his role was “changed,” with more power given to senior adviser Pete Rouse. At the time White House officials insisted the move was in no way a demotion, but it certainly wasn’t a vote of confidence.

A former vice chairman at JPMorgan Chase, Daley was heralded as having skills that could help President Obama, namely ties to the business community, and an ability to work with Republicans as seen during his days as President Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Commerce. Those relationships have remained rocky, and Daley vented about some of his frustrations in an interview at the end of October with Politico’s Roger Simon. “It’s been a brutal three years,” Daley said. “It’s been a very, very difficult three years, an incredible three years. And we are doing all this under the overhang of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. F-k! It wasn’t like all this was happening in good times.”

Daley said that “on the domestic side, both Democrats and Republicans have really made it very difficult for the president to be anything like a chief executive. This has led to a kind of frustration.”

so i guess he's just like his boss...not a leader!

maybe finger pointing is infectious in the Obama administration!

it's not the D's nor the R's preventing him from being a chief executive.

IMO opinion the loss of Rahm really weighs heavily on the efficacy of the current Admin. Rahm was an arm twisting, wrist breaking motherf********er. Daley was a spoils appointment reminiscent of George Bush, wherein it didn't really matter since Cheney was CoS and Chief Executive. Rahm had the necessary political skillset Obama doesn't. Obama is just electable. Obama is a not a good politician as his caving to the republitard paleoconservative regressive dips***s shows.
