Possibly due to this? From The Politico in April...

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday night that Rattner was involved with payments at the center of an investigation into an alleged kickback scheme at New York state's pension fund. Sourcing their information to a "person familiar with the matter," Journal reporters Craig Karmin and Peter Lattman reported that Rattner, who was then an executive at Quadrangle Group, an investment firm he co-founded, met with a "politically connected" consultant to discuss a finder's fee. Quadrangle later paid a $1.1 million fee, and received a $100 million investment from the New York State Common Retirement Fund.

“Quadrangle later paid a $1.1 million fee, and received a $100 million investment from the New York State Common Retirement Fund.”

Those numbers have betting odds beat to the ground.

Maybe he just wants to spend more time with his family.

[Army Air Corps]

That, and he may see the writing on the wall vis-a-vis Obambi’s poll numbers. Split while ya can.

I was thinking his end would be more like what happened in 1917.

Bump to Breaking News.

[Jeff Head]

Obama and virtually everyone he appoints to high level posts are corrupt.

...in addition to most of them (including Obama) being abject marxist ideologues.

He has his kickback from the car companys. Now he can go live in the style Oboma has become accustomed to.

That was quick. Almost as short a tenure as a Yankee manager during Steinbrenner’s heyday in the 1980s.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Steven Rattner is leaving as the day-to-day head of the U.S. autos task force that oversaw bankruptcy at General Motors Corp and Chrysler Group, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said on Monday.

Ron Bloom, a senior member of the White House/Treasury Department task force, will take over for Rattner, who is returning to private life in New York, Geithner said in a statement.

[NormsRevenge]

sounds like a ‘recall’.. that was quick!

[pabianice]

Is he the guy that looks like Henry Waxman on crack?

[kabar]

He should be placed in charge of the used car operation.
