Emanuel to Depart White House for Chicago Mayoral Bid
By MICHAEL D. SHEAR AND JEFF ZELENY

President Obama will give his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, a send-off Friday as Mr. Emanuel officially announces his departure from the West Wing to run for mayor of Chicago, officials familiar with the decision said.
Rahm Emanuel.Luke Sharrett/The New York Times Rahm Emanuel has been an outsized presence in the White House since Mr. Obama’s first days as president.

The event will take place in the Rose Garden, weather permitting, and is tentatively scheduled for late morning, said the officials, who declined to be named in advance of the official announcement.

Mr. Obama plans to name Pete Rouse, a senior adviser, to replace Mr. Emanuel, two officials confirmed. Mr. Rouse has been at the president’s side since Mr. Obama arrived in Washington nearly six years ago as a senator, serving as his chief of staff.

Mr. Rouse will not be an interim appointment, but rather will formally take over Mr. Emanuel’s title. While Mr. Rouse has expressed reservations about holding the chief of staff job for an extended period, he has agreed to do the job – for now.

2. I, for one, will miss him.

I think he's exactly what Democrats needed to be reminded of, that pandering to corporate interests at the expense of the vast numbers of Democratic supporters is a losing position.
