Couldn’t cook up a sufficiently wicked brew of budget malfeasance for 2011, I guess – from Bloomberg:
White House Budget Director Peter Orszag plans to leave President Barack Obama’s Cabinet in July, before the White House begins preparing its next budget, administration officials said.
Orszag, 41, considered leaving his post as director of the Office of Management and Budget in April and stayed on after an appeal from the president, the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said. Orszag’s decision to leave this summer will accelerate the process of picking a successor…
He’s just getting out while the getting is good – no one in their right mind wants to be minding the fiscal store when the 2010 budget deficit numbers are announced in October.
The first democRat deserts the sinking ship – there will be more.
