Bill Daley Resigned as White House Chief of Staff; Jack Lew Promoted

Searambler whrere are you??? Your party is falling apart. The big cheeses are falling out again from Obamas administration. Maybe this guy will run for mayor of New York? But as usual Searambler you will blame this on Bush or he was never a tru lib to begin with. Wake up Libs and lefties. Even Obamas top administration is fleeing before the ship sails.

Daley must be the only one this administration had to tell the truth. While Obama blames the republicans for everything it was easy to see that the democrats have very little respect for him also.Obama did not have much of a resume when he came to DC. Respect must be earned and Obama has not done that. His first two years one had to wonder if Pelosi was running the show and president. After she got put on the shelf last November nobody knows who is in charge.Reid?Most likely not, he seems to keep his distance fearing the same fate as Pelosi.

Jim Rod, Could be they are heading out before the ship sinks. Seems to be a lot of confusion with this administration. Like the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.

Although I seriously doubt it, perhaps Daley was actually telling the president what’s going on in the country and what needs to be done to turn things around. Obama certainly doesn’t want to hear the truth about how his policies are being received by the American people. He also doesn’t want to do what’s necessary to restore confidence in the private sector. It’s all about securing the union vote, which he doesn’t have to lift a finger to get. By “secure” I mean pass out government goodies, like Obamacare waivers, to the unions (have you seen the stats?). Sickening. Hurry up November!

“Even Obamas top administration is fleeing before the ship sails” — you mean before the ship sinks…!!!

“Daley was brought in to replace Rahm Emanuel” — and that was done very quickly as soon as the White house realized that Rahm Emanuel couldn’t manage his way out of a paper bag…

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.”

—The rats are jumpin ship before it hits bottom.

Bill Daley just got plain ole tired of counting the money flowing into the coffers from his fellow crooks on Wall Street. I lived in Chicago for years and you could not get a garbage can without providing votes or paying off the local politicians. This entire family is as crooked as my dogs back legs. It’s time to indict some of these Titians of stealing and that would go a long way to show Americans that our government is even a bit honest. No one minds people making money it’s just the way they do it.

CMB I whole heartedly agree 100% with you. Problem is though there are people who vote and are brain washed into just voting a straight ticket. Like robots they vote and like robots they react and follow blindly. We need to break this all up and make leadership answer to the American people who I believe last i checked are still thier BOSS not thier employee. If it takes a few independents mixed in with a few Dems and a few Reps then it needs to happen. I vote for whom I believe will serve us best. Unfortunatly there was a poor selection in 08 but Obama was not the ticket.

That’s right…Lets get rid of everyone so Republican voters can put back in place the same set of policies which led to the previous Republican administrations disasters.
QUESTION: How would returning to failed trickle-down policies of the Republicans produce a faster recovery?
I don’t care how they try to “sugar-coat” it, that’s all you’d get.
…Not for me!
If anything, Obama wasted far too much time trying to olive branch the Republicans who are only dedicated to 2 things; Grover Norquist and seeing to it Obama is a 1-term President.
Way to go Republicons….Throw the entire country under a buss so you can get your special interest pac add dollars courtesy of the right-wing Supreme Court.

This is why nobody trusts or watches the main stream media anymore. Day after day ABC News does nothing but put out hit pieces on every Republican nominee. The headline before this was “Romney likes to fire people,” which was a quote taken completely out of context. Now Obama’s top adviser leaves on bad terms, and it’s a four paragraph article. ABC conveniently fails to mention all of the negative things Daley said in that interview, such as revealing the fact that Obama himself is surprised that his approval rate is even in the forties considering his dismal performance. Get a clue Tapper – nobody takes you or your organization seriously anymore.

Well Jim Rod, even if you win, you got the same budget crisis, foreclosure crisis, unemployment crisis, and most important, the evolution crisis of this damn quality of population, all possibly existing crisis which ain’t pleasant.

Wether he was fired or leaving on his own it does not bode well for the Obama campain ship. It does not matter if the rats jump or are run off the ship at gun point the result is the same, less rats. The sharks are starting to circle the ship waiting on the inevitable.

TAINTEDBYLIES, If you read the story it said both democrats and republicans made it difficult for Obam to anything like a chief executive. Notice he said democrats. That was easy for anybody to see. These democrats see the first two years of mistakes they made and seen the results last November and have separated from Obam and his “agenda” knowing they could end up like Pelosi.

Chicago Sun Times and the upcoming book release by Kantor:

“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.”

Jarrett, Gibbs, Obama’s top strategist David Axelrod, Mrs. Obama’s former chief of staff Susan Sher and Chicago pals Eric Whitaker and Marty Nesbitt “gave me many hours of interview time each,” Kantor wrote in her acknowledgements. In all, Kantor got the cooperation of 33 current and former members of the Obama administration and close friends.”

Chicago is as Chicago does!! —— All crooks, Obama included!!

I’ve heard some rumblings about filling this position with Biden, and having Mrs. Clinton step in as VP for the 2012 race. So cool !

Daily didn’t want to be part of Obama’s planned “class warfare” campaign strategy. And we all notice just how much Obama is touting Obamacare ( in the last year, unions requests have received 75% of Obamacare exemptions) and that his stimulus would get unemployment back to 6%!

SHALLOW “R’S” ARE FUN TO WATCH | JANUARY 9, 2012, 9:27……..You’re not the only one they’ve done it to. I wrote an email to Disney CEO(owns ABC) on a related issue, sometime back. It seem to help.

It’s really funny how desperate the Republicans on this comment board sound. You can hear it in their unbounded glee because Obama had another personnel change. If it were anyone but Obama, this matter wouldn’t have even registered on their radar. But because it IS Obama, they’re all over this like white on rice. Forgetting the fact that every president has staff changes throughout their presidency – yes, even the Republican ones – they try to claim that this is something momentous or telling or indicative of something bigger. No one stops to consider that the job of Chief of Staff is a difficult and draining job. Especially when you have a president who is so hated by his opponents. The depth of their (oh so Christian like) hatred of the man causes them to get all giddy and gleeful whenever something like this story comes along. Their behavior is beyond pathetic, but sadly, not unexpected, considering their track record. Hatred is all they have.

Understand the budget director is taking his place, that makes sense since he had nothing to do with no budget from the Senate or this administration.

A CYNIC | JANUARY 10, 2012, 9:29 AM…..How does the “hated compare to all of the ‘Bush hatred’? But, but, that was different. It was ok then. Oh how quickly we forget!

Bill Daley has found out what most democrats knew for three years, it’s impossible to work with the “do nothing” Congress, he is just frustrated.

He has also had some personal tragedy in his family (his sister-in-law just passed away) and I’m sure he feels he needs to spend some time with his family before it’s too late.

White House chiefs of staff have the highest turnover rate of any job. Most Presidents have two or three in a 4 year period. It’s a sign of nothing.

DEANBOB

It’s very obvious that Mitch McConnell’s statement three years ago that the “only” goal of the republicans in Congress was to defeat this President is true. With the rules in the Congress as they are today (filibuster, etc) it’s not very hard to delay or block a bill. The republicans have been doing just that with poison pill add-ons, etc.

The budget has been delayed over and over again because the republicans insisted on cuts that are job killing and dangerous to our national defense. Now the sequestered cuts they demanded will happen in 2013 and thousands of defense workers will be out of a job.
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are tough enough to deliver the democrats when needed, however they can’t force the republicans to compromise. Neither can a weak John Boehner or Mitch McConnell.

The tea party members we’re elected because people we’re fed up with the party politics that made the Congress ineffectual. Instead the tea party members exacerbated the problem. Most smart republicans, like Scott Brown, are moving away from the tea party. It’s too bad the presidential candidates haven’t learned the same lesson.

DeanBob, are you actually aware of how precarious the U.S. government and economy are and have been since the meltdown beginning in 2007? If the U.S. does adopt “tea party” legislation, you will literally see homeless wondering the streets – even in Montana, Colorado or Alabama. At the moment Obama’s solution of applying band-aids to a resevoir’s dam that is widely broken is the only solution either end of the political spectrum has proposed that is reasonable. Probably because you are unfamiliar with the devastation that the political system has caused to the economic system over the last 30 years or so, you are tempted by the Tea Party’s solutions, which as advocates of open, unregulated markets and Greenspan’s objectivist
