WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's top economic adviser, Lawrence Summers, plans to leave the White House at the end of the year, a move that comes as the administration struggles to show an anxious public it's making progress on the economy.
In a statement, the president said he is grateful for Summers' service during a time of "great peril for our country."

Summers will return to Harvard University, a
move a senior administration official said was
always part of Summers' long-standing plans.
The official said the president asked Summers
last fall to stay through 2010 in order to see
through the passage of financial regulatory
legislation and the continued implementation
of the economic stimulus package. The official
spoke on the condition of anonymity in order
to discuss internal White House matters.
