Andrew Card just resigned as White House Chief of Staff. He has been replaced by Joshua Bolten as the new White House Chief of Staff.

Joshua Bolten has his bachelor degree from Princeton University's Wooddrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, law degree from Stanford. He has taught at Yale and later joined Goldman Sachs where he was a noted rising star.

He plans on often riding one of his THREE MOTORCYCLES to work at the Whitehouse.

We'll see how tough he really is if he rides to work in January :D

Having spent most of my life in the D.C. metro area, I can say the guy must be half crazy for riding on 66, 495 and the GW Parkway anyway. Picture I-10 during rush hour with twice the number of vehicles, less lanes and much worse surface/pvement. For winter, add rain/sleet/snow and below freezing temps.

I bet he drives his Mercedes most of the time :)

He's Whitehouse chief of staff.
He doesn't deal with traffic...period. Whether he is on a motorcycle or not. Ken

It's not like he's an outsider, he's been working as Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

Bolten was budget chief when the government ran its three largest deficits ever, including the record $413 billion shortfall in 2004

Experience:

• June 2003-present: Director, Office of Management and Budget

• January 2001-June 2003: Assistant to the president and deputy chief of staff for policy

• March 1999-November 2000: Policy director of the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign


Does President Bush know anymore than a handful of people ?

LOL, no just bored and happened to have just read some background info on the story.

He's not new to the administration, and I don't see how his appointment was the result of any hard work (see thread title).

Now, had he been a jeeper, that might be something, otherwise, it's just turnover at the whitehouse, more or less to be expected and probably a result of the beating the administration is taking in the polls as of late.

The move cames as Bush is buffeted by increasing criticism of the drawn-out war in Iraq and as fellow Republicans have suggested pointedly that the president bring in new aides with fresh ideas and new energy.

Card came to Bush recently and suggested that he should step down from the job that he has held from the first day of Bush's presidency, said an administration official earlier.
