Washington (CNN) – President Obama is planning to bring former campaign manager David Plouffe onto the White House staff at the beginning of January to work alongside senior adviser David Axelrod for a brief time before Axelrod moves on to help run the re-election campaign, according to a senior administration official and a senior Democratic strategist familiar with the plan.
The sources added that Axelrod is now planning to leave his White House post as soon as immediately after the State of the Union address, which is an earlier departure date than originally expected and could be part of a new round of departures at the White House.

Welcome back Plouffe! Let's get the POTUS back on message and kick butt and take names.
Does this mean that the progressive Obama of the campaign trail will replace the corporatist war-monger Obama currently occupying the White House? I'm not holding my breath. Have a nice day!
David Plouffe is going to be a welcomed asset to the WH. I guess you have to start NOW to beat down unworthy news coming from the RIGHT brought to you by CNN!!
Let's continue to Move America Forward with our current leader, President Obama and others who are for the same progress!!!
Great, now he's going to be back in full campaign mode again...just like he has been the last 3 years. 2012 can't come soon enough.
Axlerod leaving the sinking........we'll see. Or, he got embarrassed over the Bush tax cut announcement.
That's my kind of "change" ... another rat leaving the sinking ship.
I can't wait to see Axlerod leave.I only hope he takes that so called "summer recovery tour" with him.
There will be lots of folks looking for a job with a future, outside the WH, in the next year.
Thats good news!! its does more good to remember those who worked hard in 2008!!
