Coming and Going at the White House

It’s two in and one out as the revolving door begins to spin at the White House. President Bush today named Rob Portman, a former Ohio congressman now serving as U.S. Trade Representative, to replace Josh Bolten as the director of the Office of Management and Budget. Bolten took over last Friday as the White House chief of staff, and he is currently working toward what could be a major overhaul of the building’s staff and structure.

Bush picked Susan Schwab, Portman’s deputy, to replace him as the nation’s top trade negotiator.

And while Bush has filled the top budget job at the White House, he now has to look for somebody to handle the faith-based side. Jim Towey, director of the Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, today will announce his resignation and his acceptance of the presidency of Saint Vincent University in Latrobe, Pa.
