Please say it ain't so, O:

Bloomberg News:

President Barack Obama is considering naming William Daley, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. executive and former U.S. Commerce secretary, to a high-level White House post, possibly as his chief of staff, people familiar with the matter said.

(snip)

As he remakes his staff at the midway point of his presidency, Obama also is seeking to address complaints from some executives that the Democratic administration is anti-business. Daley is JPMorgan’s Midwest chairman and the bank’s head of corporate responsibility.
