As the Obama administration welcomes a number of former Clinton administration officials — including new White House chief of staff William Daley and National Economic Council director Gene Sperling — conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh warned listeners Friday of the return of Clinton-era “crony capitalists.”
“Everybody wants this,” Rush noted, referring to the mainstream media. “The purpose of this is to create for everybody else a public impression of moderation. The Socialist-Marxist Obama finally realizing that he can’t get where he wants to go that way. He has to triangulate; he has to go to the center.”

Rest easy, Rush. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley swore Thursday that his brother‘s appointment to be President Obama’s new chief of staff did not represent a “Chicago mafia” in the White House.
“(President George W. Bush) brought people from Texas. John F. Kennedy brought people from Massachusetts. Richard Nixon brought people from California,” Daley said. “Ronald Reagan brought people from California. Jimmy Carter brought people from Georgia. Bush brought people from Texas. Clinton brought people from Arkansas.”
“There’s nothing wrong with that,” Daley said.
