| Boeing HQ, Chicago |
It's easy to understand why he's gone. President Obama only wants to include people, such as Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod, who share his far-left political views in his inner circle. Daley is a Democrat like his better-known brother, the former mayor of Chicago, but he's a believer in the capitalist system. He's a former president of one of the predecessor companies of AT&T, was once the Midwest chairman of JPMorgan Chase, and he was a onetime board member of Boeing--which was an overreach target of Obama's radicalized National Labor Relations Board.
Of the NLRB's attack on the job-creator, Daley said last summer, "Sometimes you can't defend the indefensible." True, very true.
Jack Lew, a former Hillary Clinton and Tip O'Neill staffer, will succeed Daley.
Three years ago, the Obama-bots were peddling to the compliant media--which it almost without exception gleefully swallowed--the fiction that the "Hope and Change" White House would be modeled after the executive office described in Doris Kearns Goodwin's Team of Rivals.
I don't know much about Lew, but if he's not a leftist, he won't be around long. Of course in 12 months we may be using the term former president Barack Obama.
UPDATE 4:35pm CST: According to the new book, The Obamas, Michelle Obama is said to have been "distressed" by the power held by "white Irish Catholic" families in Illinois in the 1990s. For instance, the Daleys.
