Obama nominates his chief of staff to be the new Secretary of the Treasury

NYT has the story here, and here. More to follow, along with the many other appointments Obama has made recently.

We need to catch up on what all these changes mean. It is not unusual for presidents to have new faces in their second terms. The nature of Obama's selections have led some to suspect that he intends to make his mark on government this term. The first was about dealing with lingering crisis. His cabinet then was reflective of that. This time its different.

More on that soon.
