Pelosi Statement on Rahm Emanuel Being Named White House Chief of Staff
Washington, D.C – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement today on President-elect Barack Obama selecting Democratic Caucus Chairman Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff.
“The White House’s gain is the House of Representatives’ loss. Rahm will be missed here as Chairman of the Democratic Caucus; he is extraordinarily talented and is one of the most effective Members of Congress.
“Rahm Emanuel knows the policy, he understands the politics, and he loves America – Barack Obama and the nation will be well-served.”
