Daley Must Work to Fix Broken White House

It took President Barack Obama two years to turn the White House into such a mess. So it’s going to take a lot of work from his new moderate chief of staff William Daley to set things straight, Politico reports.

The selection of Daley, “which drew predictable fire from liberals Thursday, underscores Obama’s determination to run from the center in 2012 and somewhat neutralize the outright hostility of many business groups to his administration,” the news service states.

“The improvisational campaign mentality that has been the Obama White House’s fundamental style is likely to be supplanted by a more methodical focus on the mechanics of governance, organization building and relationship repairs — a shift from attention deficit disorder to obsessive compulsive disorder, to use clinical terms.”
