Obama Names JPMorgan’s William Daley Chief Of Staff

By

This is what it’s about, people. Mending fences, not just between the White House and the business community but two former bros, neither of which want to be the one to make the first step towards rekindling what they had.

Former Commerce Secretary William Daley has been chosen by President Obama to become his chief of staff, according to media reports Thursday. Daley, who currently serves as Midwest chairman at J.P. Morgan Chase, will succeed Rahm Emanuel, who left in October to pursue the mayoral office in Chicago.

    The same WIlliam Daley who, as CEO of Ameritech, hired Rahm Emanuel as his investment banker on its sale to SBC? The trade netted Rahm a cool $12MM+ in only his second year in IB.

    Did all the Obama supporters realize he was such a criminal? Obama is all about the money. Where ever the money goes so goes Obama. I can’t believe people thought he was going to be for the little guy and tough on Wall Street.
