Bill Daley tells ABC News that he resigned last week as chief of staff, as first reported by the Los Angeles Times.

Senior administration officials confirm that Jacob “Jack” Lew, the current director of the Office of Management and Budget, will be the new chief of staff.

Daley was brought in to replace Rahm Emanuel, but in November his role was “changed,” with more power given to senior adviser Pete Rouse. At the time White House officials insisted the move was in no way a demotion, but it certainly wasn’t a vote of confidence.

You type faster than I do: Rats are always the first to leave the sinking ship.

This is the second member of the Chicago mafia to bail on the Obamas. Rahm Emanuel parachuted before being pushed out. Daley did not have as dignified of an exit.

Maybe it’s only superficial but even the mob is abandoning him. Indicative of how illegally toxic the Obozo really is.

Perhaps another sign that Ulsterman was not purely fiction?

Either the Daleys are going Galt, or he is retreating to Chicagostan to defend what is left of the family fiefdom, and to work on Obama’s re-election with absolutely no media scrutiny.

There is something not quite right about this administration, as people come into positions of responsibility, and then apparently have none.

Then they leave.

Obama’s a narcissist. Narcissists are void of empathy, and they become compulsive micro-managers when placed in a position of power. Obama must be impossible to be around, much less work for. He’s obviously authoritative in style, so there is no team, no fulfillment from working for him on the part of the underlings, because credit has to be wrestled from him.

If Ulsterman is fictional, he is also clairvoyant because the new book out on the Ohahah’s confirms that some of those tiffs that he said took place, actually DID take place. He spoke of them many months ago and described them almost exactly the same, especially the ones regarding big MO.

Daley had vanished. A morning came, and he was missing from work: a few thoughtless people commented on his absence. On the next day nobody mentioned him. On the third day Carney went into the vestibule of the press room to look at the notice-board. One of the notices carried a printed list of the members of the White House staff, of whom Daley had been the chief. It looked almost exactly as it had looked before—nothing had been crossed out—but it was one name shorter. It was enough. Daley had ceased to exist: he had never existed.

...with apologies to George Orwell.

The communist Ubama network will never be anything but lollipops and sunshine when it comes to Ubama. And the occutards? I thought all those "occupy" ghettos were bulldozed and disinfected months ago after they turned into Obamaville homeless encampments?

The Obama regime is the 1%. Crony capitalism is their trade. Have you seen how financial crime criminal prosecutions have plummeted under the most transparent presidency?
