Barack Obama Selects Nancy Killefer, a Former Assistant Treasury Secy in the Clinton Administration, to Chief Performance Officer Position

UPDATE

Nancy Killefer is reportedly withdrawing her name from nomination. It is being reported that the former McKinsey consultant faced a $900 lien in 2005 on her home for not paying taxes on household help. It can’t be just that. There’s more to this. Now I wish Tom Daschle would do the same. Still developing……

How many more appointees will Barack Obama have from the Clinton Administration? It seems that we just can’t get away from Bill and Hillary Clinton. President-elect Barack Obama has selected Nancy Killefer, a top management consultant at McKinsey & Company, to serve as the country’s chief performance officer, a post he said would help oversee reform of the federal government and its budget.

Killefer was a former assistant secretary of the treasury in the Bill Clinton administration. Obama is expected to announce his choice this morning. I know that Bill Clinton’s team was, for the most part, brilliant, but didn’t Barack Obama said his presidency would be a much needed change from politics as usual? This appointment comes on the heels of his appointment of Leon Panetta, Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff, to head the CIA.
