Fixing Things The Chicago Way

摘要

William M. Daley has been a lawyer, banker, and rainmaker. He's managed companies and political campaigns, and served as a Cabinet official. But above all, Bill Daley has been a fixer for powerful bosses in and out of government. His ultimate challenge may be the job he accepted on Jan. 6 as chief of staff to a President facing a strengthened opposition, a sluggish economy, and reelection in 2012. "Every chief of staff kind of fits the moment," says Rahm Emanuel, who sought Daley's advice almost weekly when he was in the job. Emanuel recommended Daley when he told Obama he was mulling a run for Chicago mayor after Daley's brother Richard decided against a seventh term.
