Peter Rouse to Replace Rahm

It is just now breaking that Peter Rouse, a “senior advisor” to President Obama, will replace Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff.

From a quick read of his bio on Wikipedia, he looks like an okay guy. I don’t like this, “Rouse helped prepare a memo, ‘The Strategic Plan,’ for Obama’s first year in the Senate,” because it seems to me that the first year was essentially wasted waiting for Republicans play nice even though they stated flatly they were going to obstruct everything Obama tried to do.  But, I do like this, “In September 2009, the  Washington Post reported that Rouse was heading the White House’s efforts to close the Guantanamo Bay prison.”  (Then again, Gitmo’s still open so I guess he didn’t do all that well at that either.)

But hey, at least he isn’t a “business executive” as CNBC said we just had to have this morning.  That’s the last thing we need, imho.
