Andrew Card Folds

Andrew Card is out as White House Chief of Staff effective April 14. Joshua Bolton moves over from OMB to replace Card.

It's about time. The last year has been one huge fumble for the White House. Something had to change. The President essentially wasted the re-election capital in trying to tackle a major political football in Social Security, but then was ill prepared to handle all matters that require a strong federal government.

I've read rumors that Andy Card wants to jump over to Treasury, though, John Snow captains that ship at the present.

I'm eager to see the changes made in WH policy under the direction of Joshua Bolton.
