Not forewarned and no advice on new appointee … makes a transition to Hillary’s administration that much easier.
William Daley OUT and Jacob Lew IN as new chief of staff
(WaPo) – White House chief of staff Bill Daley’s abrupt decision to resign his office caught official Washington by surprise as it came just a year after he was named to the job.
Obama praised Daley in announcing his departure, casting him as someone willing to make tough decision on the fly. “Chicago is only a phone call away,” Obama said, adding that he would continue to seek Daley’s counsel in the coming months. (And Daley is expected to serve as a co-chairman of Obama’s re-election campaign.)
Excellent choice: Jacob Lew with plenty of political experience
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
