Obama's Chief of Staff, Bill Daley, leaving for Chicago at this point in time is most interesting.
It's being revealed in the new book about the Obama's that Michelle was greatly distressed over "white Irish Catholics" who she believed had a lock box on Chicago politics.
Now he will be co chairing Obama's re-election bid from what I've read, but I find this "Chief of Staff" exodus from the White House most fascinating.
Kantor writes Mrs. Obama "disapproved of how closely Daley held power, surrounding himself with three or four people who seemed to let few outsiders in -- a concern she would echo years later with her own husband.
"...She particularly resented the way power in Illinois was locked up generation after generation by a small group of families, all white Irish Catholic -- the Daleys in Chicago, the Hynes and Madigans statewide."
When Jarrett was forced out of City Hall in 1995 -- even though she was close to Daley -- "the Obamas were horrified, their worst suspicions about the world confirmed."
