Obama’s Chief Of Staff Is Stepping Down

But he isn't going far.

With election time looming, a few changes are being made to President Obama's administration - changes that some may want to pay attention to.

The President announced today that White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley has decided to step down from his post and will be replaced by Office of Management and Budget Director Jack Lew. According to the President, Daley came to him last week to put in his resignation, citing the desire to spend more time with his family and recommending Lew as his successor. Hence the impromptu announcement and the sudden change in the line-up.

But what we found interesting is that this man, who has served as a senior adviser to the president for the past vital year of his administration, isn't going too far at all. According to Obama's aids, Daley will stay in his job through January and the will being serving as one of the co-chairs for Obama's re-election campaign.

Hmm. We find that very inneresting, don't you? Wonder who will be joining Daley in this new post? Do we detect some strategy here? Some scheming maybe? Maybe we'll reserve all assumptions until after his State of The Union address.

New Photos Of Gabrielle Giffords Released!

We cannot believe what a miraculous recovery she has made!

Check out these new photos just released of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, the first taken since she was HOriffically shot in the head during a mass shooting in January (above)!

She looks absolutely wonderful!

And although she's still struggling to communicate, her Chief of Staff Pia Carusone recently said of her progress:

"With Gabby, what we've been able to infer and what we believe is that her comprehension is very good. I don't know about percentage-wise or not, but it's close to normal, if not normal."

Just remarkable, and such an inspiration!

We know this road to recovery has certainly been a long one for her, and we continue to wish her all the best as she overcomes the obstacles so unfairly put in front of her!

We're thinking of you, gurl! Keep up the good fight!

Barbara Bush Admitted To The Hospital

Oh no!

We hope she’s okay.

Former First Lady Barbara Bush was taken to the hospital on Saturday to undergo tests after feeling seriously under the weather!

Jean Becker, the former President George Bush‘s chief of staff, claims that it’s nothing serious and “this is definitely just in for tests.” She is expected to be released within the next few days.

We sincerely hope that it is nothing serious and she has a speedy recovery!! Being sick is the worst!!
