Obama chooses a director of JP Morgan as the new chief of staff

Barack Obama President William Daley has picked up U.S. bank executive now JP Morgan, as a future chief of staff in the context of the profound reshaping of his team after the poor results Democrats in legislative elections held last November, according to reported a senior White House. The official announcement was made at 14.30 (20.30 CET Spanish) and involves the appointment of current chief of staff, Pete Rouse, to the post of adviser to the president.

And Daley was commerce secretary during the tenure of former President Bill Clinton met yesterday in the White House with Obama to address the possible appointment. Rouse, one of the most time staff has been with Obama, took office on an interim basis after the previous chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, recently submitted his resignation to run for mayor of Chicago.

Obama could announce later this week, perhaps on Friday, the other appointments of his economic team, with the position of chairman of the National Economic Council still vacant. The favorite seems to be a senior Treasury Department, Gene Sperling.
