William Michael Daley the 52 year old American lawyer and business executive has been announced by President Barack Obama that he would become White House Chief of Staff Close ties to big banks and big business (January 8 2011)

William Michael Daley the 52 year old American lawyer and business executive has been announced by President Barack Obama that he would become White House Chief of Staff to succeed Rahm Emanuel. Daley previously had served as Secretary of Commerce in the second administration of President Bill Clinton, and named to the advisory board of the Obama-Biden Transition Project. Regarded as a Democratic centrist, Daley is perceived to bring a business acumen to the White House, providing Obama with advice on economic matters for which he has faced strong criticisms as being anti business. His appointment is bringing criticism from progressives who are skeptical of Daley’s finance business background, and his urgings for the administration to move toward the political center.
