Mr. Holder should be joining him in the unemployment line.
"Associate director of communications and strategic planning in the Office of Management and Budget?" What budget?They'll have to somehow locate him under all of the cobwebs in order to get him out of there...
Get another wise guy....not end of the world!!!
He'd be out of a job come January anyway... just getting a jump on the competition for a real job.
He plans to return to the private sector, though did not specify where he will work, after taking a family vacation.
So I guess the private sector IS doing fine. Obama 2012!
He could advice the Democratic in a journal of Ideal how ancient civilization use construction keep it people busey while maintain control of it way of life for many many years
Now, axelrod & plouffe needs to follow suit. Otherwise – obama is sunk, unless he can get the 18 – 34 yr olds who are registered voters – to vote, in the sunshine state / the buckeye state, & the keystone state. If he does that, he will win re-election.
Smart guy... getting a job on a new job and not waiting until the entire Obama adminstration is looking come November.
Just another defector of the Obama Administration. The good ones get wise and leave. The rest of his goofy "advisors" stay on and just keep leading him into more darkness. So be it. Never saw so much turnover in a Presidential Administration as there's been in Obama's. Part of the reason he can't get his act together and put America on a solid course is his inability to keep good people. Constant turnover is never a good sign.
