First Lady Replaces Her Chief of Staff: Washington Post
Thursday, June 4, 2009 at 9:34PM The tightly run, always-on-message East Wing has had its first staff upheaval four months into the Obama administration: First lady Michelle Obama has replaced chief of staff Jackie Norris with White House lawyer Susan Sher.
The White House made the announcement late yesterday afternoon in a news release and offered no explanation for the change. In a statement, Obama described both women as her friends. But in this instance, Sher, a longtime friend from Chicago, trumped Norris, the relatively new one from Iowa.
Obama met Norris, who was a high school government and history teacher, during the early days of the Iowa caucuses. Norris, mother of three young boys, was a senior adviser and scheduler for Obama's many Iowa visits. The two became acquainted as they traveled the state together discussing politics, fitness and their children. more
