Daley Resigns

No not that one. The other one....no that other one. The taller guy:
  • William Daley is stepping down as White House chief of staff and budget director Jack Lew is taking over the President Obama’s team as it heads into a tough election year, senior administration officials say.

    Daley gave his letter of resignation to the president in a private meeting in the Oval Office last week, recounting the administration's successes of his one year on the job and saying it was time for him to return to his hometown of Chicago.

    President Obama made the news official this afternoon in a brief appearance in the state dining room of the White House, where he told reporters in somber tones that he is sorry to see Daley leave.

Speculation abounds:

  • Daley doesn't associate with losers. Obama is headed into a tough reelection;
  • Obama and his team realize the Chicago connections are more of a liability than an asset now, especially with Chicago being run by Rahm and circling the proverbial toilet;
  • Damage control - maybe a Daley or someone close to them is about to get indicted and having Bill Daley in the White House might be a bit of a distraction.
Personally, we're hoping for option #3.

He's gone because the Daly family trait, arrogance, doesnt work well for building alliances and finding common ground.

Or maybe he knows Rahm is only going to be Allowed to serve one term once he finishes Fucking things up enough and want's to follow in his brother's footsteps as Mayor next election... and to make sure of that; he moves back so he's considered a resident of Chicago... unlike the Asshole we have Now!

Maybe the answer is a simple one. Maybe Obama decided his debt to Richard M. Daley has been paid in full and brother Bill is an albatross.

Then again, who knows? Maybe Bill has been diagnosed with an illness and honestly just wants to get out of the rat race. Time will tell. It always does.

He took the job on 06 Jan 2011.
He resigns on 09 Jan 2012.

Anyone know how long it takes to get a White House pension?

I'm guessing 1 year.

Obama is still paying back the Daley Crime Family for giving him a boost into the White House.

Bill Daley is to remain on Obama's payroll as co-chair of his reelection campaign here.

From Huff Post yesterday:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/09/bill-daley-resigning-obama_n_1194580.html

If you think Shorty had a black heart, read this:

Despite his political pedigree, Daley was always a curious pick for the Obama administration. He had been the top lobbyist for JPMorgan Chase, the nation's second-largest bank, which issued at least $30 billion in subprime mortgages during the housing bubble. During his tenure at JPMorgan, Daley actively lobbied against the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He lost that fight, and his history of resistance to the agency's very existence has always been in conflict with the administration's efforts,

Daley also has longstanding ties to the pharmaceutical industry, serving as a director of Abbott Laboratories for several years after leaving the Clinton administration. In 2007, during Daley's tenure on the board, the company attempted to cut off the supply of certain life-saving HIV medication to Thailand, after the nation sought to exercise its rights under World Trade Organization treaties to provide other HIV drugs at generic prices, rather than the far more expensive prices set by Abbott.

Michelle Obama: Racist First Lady? You decide.....



Michelle Obama: "Distressed" about Daley, Madigan, Hynes clout
By Lynn Sweet on January 8, 2012 4:16

WASHINGTON-- When Michelle Obama worked in Mayor Daley's City Hall in the early 1990s, she was "distressed" by how a small group of "white Irish Catholic" families -- the Daleys, the Hynes and the Madigans -- "locked up" power in Illinois.

And as she prepared to become first lady, Mrs. Obama naively wanted to delay a move into the White House for six months, so her daughters could finish the school year. Her initial thought was to "commute" to the White House from her South Side home.

And Marty Nesbitt, one of President Obama's best friends, had been recruited to run for Chicago mayor by African-American leaders -- but never ended up challenging Rahm Emanuel, who was Obama's chief of staff who went on to win City Hall.

Details about Mrs. Obama's initial reluctance to embrace her new life, her time in City Hall, the influence she has in the White House, tensions between Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett, Emanuel and former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs -- are in a new book about the first couple by New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor.

The Chicago Sun-Times has obtained a copy of The Obamas, to be published Tuesday.

Mrs. Obama worked in the Daley administration between Sept. 16, 1991, and April 30, 1993, according to City of Chicago personnel records. She was hired by Jarrett, then Daley's deputy chief of staff.

Kantor writes Mrs. Obama "disapproved of how closely Daley held power, surrounding himself with three or four people who seemed to let few outsiders in -- a concern she would echo years later with her own husband.

"...She particularly resented the way power in Illinois was locked up generation after generation by a small group of families, all white Irish Catholic -- the Daleys in Chicago, the Hynes and Madigans statewide."

When Jarrett was forced out of City Hall in 1995 -- even though she was close to Daley -- "the Obamas were horrified, their worst suspicions about the world confirmed."

After watching the GOP candidates throw shit at one another these past few weeks I am firmly convinced Obama will get a 2nd term. If these folks are the best the GOP has to offer then it will be all over before it starts. The folks in power will shore up the economy by November to make it look like things are getting better and then it will all fall apart after the election. Only thing all these politicians on both sides care about is getting back into to office so they can fuck us some more. Nothing will change.

Of course Daley is a crook who is primarily concerned with grafting as much money as possible. However, two things -- Bill's probably the least dumb of the Daleys, and he's not a left-liberal who wants to radically change the country. He actually wants to make the status quo work so that he can skim off more. This is fundamentally why he doesn't fit into the Obama Administration, which insofar as they have an ideology, it is a far-left one, and which is truly a clusterfuck in terms of actually getting anything constructive done. Remember, Daley isn't the only one to leave -- there's been a parade.
