All Change at the White House - Chief of Staff

The White House: Remarks by President Obama on the departure of Chief of Staff Bill Daley, the President stated the following reasons for the departure, “ ..Bill told me that he wanted to spend more time with his family, especially his grandchildren, and he felt it was the right decision. ”. In other words he got the boot, you only say something like this if you don’t want a revenge book to land on the Oval Office desk. One has to wonder that someone could not have thought of something less traditional for when someone is sacked. This old chestnut of spending more time with the family went out with Emperor Augustus. If this is the strategic level of the Obama re-elect committee they have more problems that just a jobless rate.
