No Chair for Mr Craig

The White House announced today that Mr Greg Craig would be leaving his post as White House Counsel. This has been on the cards for weeks, even since a hatched job article by the Washington Post. The reason for the departure is simple, Mr Craig did the one mistake that will cost any White House Aide his job, he placed the President in front of a policy that has not worked as planned. In the case of Mr Craig he had the President state that Cuban Detention Centre for terrorists would be closed within a year, that is not going to happen, thus Mr Craig is out. The President did state the following in a Presidential Statement, " ( Craig ) ensured that we are keeping the nation secure in a manner that is consistent with our laws and our values. (In other words you landed me hit a bit of a political problem, therefore your out!) I’m indebted to Greg not only for leading the Counsel’s office but for his many decades of service to this country as well. (Don't Call us we wont call you) He has been a huge asset in the White House, and he will be missed. I will continue to call on him for advice in the years ahead.” (Just don't write a critical book about me!)
