Biden Chooses Clinton Vet as New Chief of Staff

By: Quinn Bowman

Vice President Joe Biden announced today that Bruce Reed, who was most recently executive director of the Simpson-Bowles debt commission and is a veteran of the Clinton administration, will replace Ron Klain as his chief of staff.

The move comes after several high-profile changes in the White House. President Obama's new chief of staff, William Daley, is another Clinton veteran.

A June 2010 New York Times story about then-Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's tenure in the Clinton White House identifies Reed as the leader of a centrist camp that was at odds with traditional liberals during that administration:

Along that fault line, Ms. Kagan, now President Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court, was situated squarely in the camp of the centrist New Democrats as deputy to her college friend Bruce Reed, the White House domestic policy director and veteran of the Democratic Leadership Council that advocated a "third way." Mr. Reed coined the phrase "end welfare as we know it" and promoted the measure that Mr. Clinton signed into law requiring work and setting time limits. He advocated charter schools, free-trade pacts and more police officers on the beat.

1. The corporate seizure of the administration is now nearly complete

When Geithner gets replaced by Jamie Dimon from JP Morgan/Chase the coup will be over.

"Our plan, in many ways, resembles the Conservatives' plan in Britain," Reed said. "Theirs moves more quickly, because the U.K. has to. Our recovery is a little more fragile, and our debt problem, although incredibly serious, is not quite as urgent, because our problems aren't as bad as the other guys'. That gives us a little more time to phase in these tough changes. But not much."



We certainly do look to be heading that way, DJ13.

5. He's the VP's Chief of Staff. Why does it matter?

I used to work for an insurance giant. Does that mean I shouldn't ever have another job ever again?
