Obama Praises Bill Daley's "Forward Looking Vision"
By Stephanie Condon

President Obama today announced the appointment of William Daley as his new chief of staff. "Few Americans can boast the breadth of experience that Bill brings to this job," Mr. Obama said from the White House.

Daley, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive who previously served as commerce secretary under President Clinton, has a "deep understanding of how jobs are created," the president said. He praised his new chief of staff's "experience, strong values and forward-looking vision."

Mr. Obama joked that Daley, a part of the famous political dynasty from Mr. Obama's home town of Chicago, has "a smidgen of awareness of how our system of government works. You might say it is a genetic trait."

Daley said it was an honor for him to accept the position, vacated by Rahm Emanuel last fall. He told Mr. Obama, "You, Mr. President, have proven your strength, your leadership, your vision during a most difficult time for the nation."...

13. Yes he does,

you get a high flying position in the government while you are on the board of a few major corporations. Then you use your power and influence to pass favorable legislation for said companies, then you move out of politics and reap the benefits of what you did while in office or on staff.
