New Chief of Staff: Obama relies on Chicago-mate

The most important decision on Obama's staff carousel has been made: New chief of staff and closest adviser that is William Daley. The former trade minister and top bankers to make valuable business contacts. He is also the tricky Cicago clique of the President. Washington - The Personnel is probably the most important in the reorganization of the team to Barack Obama: The U.S.

president the former Commerce Secretary William Daley gets into the White House. After matching data including the New York Times and several news agencies of the 62-year-old Daley Obama's new chief of staff and successor to Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of the city of Chicago will want to be.


The official announcement of the decision by Obama is still pending. The U.S. president exchanged currently a number of consultants in their closest environment. Daley was 1997-2000 Minister in the administration of President Bill Clinton and later top managers at the banking giant JP Morgan Chase.

He is regarded as friendly and open press, has good connections with companies and could make for expert assessment of important links between the White House and the economy. Thus came even before his official appointment of praise from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which previously was not particularly fond of Obama.

Chamber President Thomas Donohue spoke of a "strong" personal decision. Daley was a man with a great deal of experience, "he is a skilled manager and visionary leader." The tough dogs of the Chicago School, Daley, however, is also the brother of current Mayor of Chicago Richard M. Daley - and thus represents a crucial problem of Obama's personnel policy: the closest adviser to the president are almost exclusively people who are first in Chicago's political career have made.

"Chicago Politics" is an extremely negative metaphor occupied in the political operation of the United States. That is, of who has learned to know all the lousy tricks - but what Obama help in governing, but its president Image is probably less beneficial. Daley replace Rahm Emanuel, who retired to run for mayor of Chicago.

After Emanuel's departure Obama's longtime confidant Pete Rouse Transitional took over the post as chief of staff at the White House. He is now reportedly in Obama's advisers Stab The President also looks around for a new spokesman: The 39-year-old Robert Gibbs will be retiring February.

Even the choice of the successor to Lawrence Summers as chief of the White House settled the National Economic Council (National Economic Council) Obama is apparently based on experience. Gene Sperling, he is expected to bring to the post on Friday, had by this office as Clinton held. Prepare a pragmatic compromise with the new team, both Sparrow and Daley are regarded as a pragmatist with the ability to search across party political divisions of time to compromise.

The two personnel decisions reflect the view of experts Obama's efforts to cooperate with the booming Republicans. The Conservatives have in the newly elected House of Representatives and the Senate majority and get more power. The outgoing spokesman Gibbs is a close confidant of Obama.

He is in his future as a consultant from outside are to the side. That was the best service he could do for Obama, Gibbs said on Wednesday. He now wants to make speeches, on television and make comments supporting Obama in the election campaign in 2012 as a paid consultant. As successor to Gibbs in the function of vice-speaker Bill Burton is traded.

Also, David Axelrod, Obama's top advisor is leaving soon, the White House. Axelrod will prepare the campaign for the presidential election of 2012, they say. In addition, this week is the question of who is Defense Secretary Robert Gates replacing. Gates had served under President George W.

Bush as Pentagon chief - and always made it clear that he would retire to the center of Obama's term in office.
