Citigroup Replaces JP Morgan as White House Chief of Staff

Citigroup Replaces JP Morgan as White House Chief of Staff :

"Here's a brief history of President Obama's White House chiefs of staff: Rahm Emanuel, a former Clinton official who then worked in investment banking, was replaced in 2010 by Bill Daley, a former Clinton official who then worked in investment banking, in order to run for Mayor of Chicago, a seat that had been held for 20 years by Bill Daley's brother.

Today, Bill Daley officially resigned and will return to Chicago and perhaps his career in investment banking. He'll be replaced with Jack Lew, a former Clinton official who then worked in investment banking, who has served as President Obama's Office of Management and Budget director since 2010 when he replaced Peter Orszag, a former Clinton official who now works in investment banking."

I mean because we all know and hear about how goshdarnit he really wants to do liberal and progressive things, but the Republicans just get in the way. And of course any pro-corporate thing he does or pro-corporate person he appoints to anything it's just because he has to deal with an obstructionist congress, right? Right?
