SocraticGadfly: Larry Summers is leaving the White House

Larry Summers is leaving the White House

After the November elections, one of the worst of the Goldman Sachs/Robert Rubin gang is reportedly out.

But, if Bloomberg is right on all of this, it may be to no real good:
Administration officials are weighing whether to put a prominent corporate executive in the NEC directors job to counter criticism that the administration is anti-business, one person familiar with White House discussions said.

Wunderbar.

Assuming that is Obama's thought, he's thinking of Wall Street campaign dinero, he's not thinking of drumming up support from whatever "base" he may still have, and he will go back to being Preznit Kumbaya about Nov. 10.
