Jacob Lew, a State Department official who served as director of the White House office of Management and Budget during the Clinton administration, will be asked to reprise that role in the Obama administration, replacing Peter Orszag.
Lew’s post requires Senate confirmation, but he was easily confirmed for his State Department position, and confirmed by a Republican Senate in 1998. So it’s hard to see the GOP putting up much of a fight.

Excuse me but can someone tell me exactly what Lew is going to direct as the Democrats STILL have not passed a budget?

It a wonder he doesn't appoint Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, or Tony Rezko!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oldefarte - They will be the Deputy Assistant Director Committee, also advised by Jessee Jackson and the Panthers. Certainly there cannot be a No Director of OMB, there must be someone to give the paycheck to.
