Breaking: William Daley Steps Down As White House Chief of Staff…

Another one bites the dust.

(Chicago Tribune) — William Daley is stepping down as White Housechief of staff and budget director Jack Lew is taking over the President Obama’s team as it heads into a tough election year, senior administration officials say.

Daley gave his letter of resignation to the president in a private meeting in the Oval Office last week, recounting the administration’s successes of his one year on the job and saying it was time for him to return to his hometown of Chicago.

Obama plans to announce the change in leadership in a public event Monday afternoon. The official shift will take place at the end of the month, giving Lew time to complete the administration’s budget proposal while Daley leads the team through the crafting of the State of the Union address due in two weeks.

    Another rat jumping ship after dealing with the First Wookie.

    Something smells fishy here. I wonder when we will learn the REAL reason that Daley stepped down. Another Michelle casualty, perhaps?

    Whoa.

    Was the job offered to Reggie?

    Interesting, Obama too corrupt even for Daley? Perhaps Daley finally caught a whiff of Stalin’s cologne emanating from the closed door meetings between Jarrett and Obama.

    Even a Democratic Machine Pol from Chi-town can only eat so much of that which Norman Mailer would refer to as sh&%.

    I guess Moochell told him to kiss her ass too…………We can only hope he’ll come out speaking the truth about this WH like he was being water boarded…….I’m sure he will have plenty to tell……..

    Even the most hardcore commies can only take so much of the Wookie’s bullying and the pResident’s wussy behavior.

    I’ve never seen so many people jump ship in one administration term as this one. Can’t wait for the book to come out. It will give obozo and mooch something to read in their cells.

    Both are RACIST, COMMUNIST, ILLEGAL, SOCIALIST, and TRAITORS to the American People.

    We will Prevail.

    So another coward leaves the most accomplished presidency in modern times,

    of course, anyone leaving the WH is a coward since those are one of the main qualifications for ‘serving totus

    I thought axelgrease wasn’t in the admin anymore? so why is he the go to apologist?

    Bring back Axel!! He channels Himmler so well, a real joy to watch

    A Daley from Chicago telling the truth?

    He figures if he leaves now he can avoid prosecution when this farce is over

  27. Jimco says:
    January 9, 2012 at 3:07 pm

    Fox said he was resentlful of Valerie Jarrett’s power. Valerie Jarret is Obama’s surrogate mommy, so get to the back of the line Chicago boy.

    Holy Crap you see the video of the dazed and confused look on both these clowns as Onumb-nutz “King Turd” threw out one and hung his rope around the other ones neck??…..Yeah old Jack has quite a trail burning behind him as he is thrust into that position of cleaning Odumbo ass

    WOW! Daley resigns. Now that is something when Daley of Chicago leaves the Great One. Didn’t see that one coming. Just think, this administration is worse that being involved with Chicago politics. It really smells in the Executive branch.

  30. jwyatt03 says:
    January 9, 2012 at 3:36 pm

    Is Blago is still available or has he or gone up the river? McCain has said many times he likes reaching across the aisle and working with democrats. Why not give him a try.

    Honestly, I think it’s because he was needed back in Chicago. Something fishy is going on there and I’m wondering if Chicago will be a key player in voter (fraud, intimidation) issues in the upcoming election.

  33. Rufus says:

    There can be only one explanation:

    The Wookie.

  34. gastorgrab says:

    Obama is just rotating people in and out of these position so that each of them can qualify for a lifetime pension. (at taxpayer expense)

  35. Bee1 says:
    January 9, 2012 at 3:58 pm

    Did Daley jump or was he pushed?
    I bet the Mooch got him fired.

  36. Chris W. says:

    Terry Bradshaw called. He wants his haircut back.

  37. Pendog says:
    January 9, 2012 at 4:26 pm

    I’d say Mooch’s resentment of white Irish Catholics had everything to do with it.

  38. Andy says:

    Word is they are looking at Wa State Governor Christine Gregoire to replace Eric Holder.

    She’s run our state into the ground for the past 8 years, so she’ll fit in perfectly with Locke and other bundlers.

  39. Clark Narkulis says:

    Let’s see, Andrew Card was W’s COS for five years, and Zero is on his third in less than three years?

    Another historic first!

    The HOTUS(Harpy of the United States)has decreed; “No more Irish in the Oministration.”

  42. A Conservative Teacher says:
    January 9, 2012 at 7:07 pm

    LOL

    Is this for real? Daley is being replaced by the BUDGET DIRECTOR??? The guy who oversaw the worst budget deficits ever?

  43. Shadowblitz70 says:

    When someone quits, there usually isnt an investigation too far behind.

    Watch for it.

    “Daley gave his letter of resignation to the president in a private meeting in the Oval Office last week, recounting the administration’s successes of his one year on the job…”

    That was about a 30-second meeting.

  45. Axel says:
    January 9, 2012 at 8:25 pm

    Supposedly he is going back to work w/Axelrod to work the re-election campaign.
