Bob Woodward to sleep easier at night
Obama’s Top Economic Adviser To Leave The White House
Gene Sperling, President Barack Obama's top economic adviser, will leave his post at the end of the year, the White House announced Friday.
Sperling has served as the director of the National Economic Adviser and will be replaced in January of 2014 by Jeffrey Zients, a former director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Obama praised Sperling in a statement Friday.
“Gene’s relentless work ethic, sharp intellect and ability to work across the aisle have been instrumental in our efforts to build a better bargain for the middle class and reduce the deficit while also protecting the most vulnerable," Obama said. "I want to thank Gene and his family for their service and I look forward to having his counsel for the rest of the year."
Now who will threaten Woodward?
