Choice of verb deliberate, there: Craig doesn’t seem all that happy to be pursuing a new and exciting career as a data point in the November unemployment statistics.
Tokyo (CNN) – In the first major shakeup among President Barack Obama’s senior staff, White House Counsel Greg Craig is being pushed out in favor of veteran Democratic lawyer Bob Bauer because of a dispute over plans to close the U.S. military prison in Cuba, CNN has learned.
The move will be announced by the White House in the coming days, a senior administration official and a senior Democratic source confirmed. The sources said it could be announced as early as Friday while the president will be in Japan starting a four-nation tour of Asia, which would make it likely the staff change will be overshadowed by other events.
Craig declined to comment and hang up when reached by CNN late Thursday evening.
Oh. I think somebody needs a hug.

Does this count as two jobs saved?
bk Friday, November 13th at 5:06AM EST (link)After all, the decision has been made and yet he’s still on the job for a few days, so according to the way Obama and Biden count jobs created or saved this would be a +1 for those couple days. And then the guy who replaces him is another +1. Right?
Wait I sold it too short. Craig will take some other job so it’s really +3.
Think of all the media people it required to cover the story. nt
