| 2012-01-10 |
| [Fox News] William Daley is resigning as White House chief of staff and budget chief Jack Lew will take his place, President B.O. will announce Monday, Fox News has learned. Daley entered the White House a year ago after Rahm Emanuel left to become Chicago mayor, replacing Daley's retiring brother, Richard Daley, in that post. Obama was to announce the change in a statement Monday afternoon. The change will be effective at the end of this month. |

| #7 Perhaps Daley left cause he couldn't abide by the level of corruption in the Obama administration. |

| #6 Mr. Daley was pretty much pushed out. Unlike his predecessor, the now-former Chief of Staff was quite a bit more formal in his dealings with staff and Congress. Both staff and Democratic members of Congress were used to pretty much having ready access to the CoS and the Oval Office than they were getting with Mr. Daley. |

| #5 If Mr. Daley wasn't pushed, things are being/have been said and written that are going to cause very bad feelings. |

| #2 That's what I suspect. I don't think Daley was pushed out of the White House, I think he was just needed more in Chicago. Fund-raising might be running short of expectations. |

| #1 Hmmmm, could someone be worried about fundraising and losing his 'home' state? Naaah! |
