Obama Reassigns Chief Of Staff, As Shake-Up Fails To Reinvigorate White House
Zeke Miller | Nov. 7, 2011, 11:10 PM

White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley is giving up day-to-day control of the administration's staff after nearly a year on the job, the Wall Street Journal reports. It's a sign that President Barack Obama's midterm staff shake-up failed to provide the administration with the boost it needs going into next year's election.

Carol Lee scoops that Pete Rouse, who served as interim Chief of Staff when Rahm Emanuel left Washington to run for mayor in Chicago, will pick up most of Daley's responsibilities, with Daley — now Chief of Staff in name only — relegated to an "ambassador" role.

Quote:The recalibration of Mr. Daley's portfolio, agreed to by Mr. Obama, is designed to smooth any kinks in the president's team as it braces for the overlapping demands of governing while campaigning for re-election, people familiar with the matter said. The West Wing is preparing for budget battles with Congress and is seeking to use its executive powers more extensively.

The new set-up effectively makes Mr. Rouse the president's inside manager and Mr. Daley his ambassador, roles that appear to better suit both men's talents. Mr. Rouse served as interim chief of staff before Mr. Daley arrived, and his White House bio boasts he is "known as the '101st Senator' " for his extensive knowledge of Congress.

This is most likely a very good move.

I like the COSINO personally!

And it seems nobody liked Daley.

This sounds good since Daley is supposedly who pushed delaying the smog rule.
