William Daley, an executive at JPMorgan Chase, the former Commerce Secretary under Bill Clinton and the brother of longtime Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley, is under consideration to be the next White House Chief of Staff. This would mean that the man who was a mentor to Rahm Emanuel would get the job vacated by Rahm Emanuel, because Emanuel left to seek the job vacated by Daley’s brother.

In case anyone had doubts that Rahm is being nudged out of the White House, Obama just erased them.
