Bill Daley recently told WMAQ that he plans to leave his position as President Obama’s chief of staff, following the 2012 election.

“I made a commitment to the president through his re-election–which I’m confident he will do–and then my wife and I will return to Chicago,” Daly, a prominent member of the legendary Chicago political family, said (video above).
