"Bill Daley is a man of stature and extraordinary experience in government, business, trade negotiations, and global affairs," Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue said. "He's an accomplished manager and strong leader. We look forward to working with him to accelerate our recovery, grow the economy, create jobs, and tackle America's global challenges."

Daley serves on JPMorgan's Executive Committee in charge of Corporate Responsibility and is a board member of the pharmaceutical company Merck.

He was also US Secretary of Commerce during the Clinton administration, where he helped shape the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and worked on trade relations with China. He's currently a board member at the centrist Democratic think tank "Third Way."

Daley joined JPMorgan in 2004 as Midwest Chairman, and in 2007 began to lead the firm's efforts in corporate social responsibility.

Nearly fell out of my chair upon reading that. Love the wordplay. This is banker-speak for "We'll fuk 'em hard and fast while we get 'em to think we're only looking out for the best interests of this nation of hopeless rubes!"

to smoke or not to smoke ... Marlboro vs. Camel ... tobacco vs. Vitamin 420 ... i guess he has a few choices left.

damn i would like to see a US president who has the guts to "play the game" in order to get into office - then does the right thing once in office - which would put his life at risk.

Its nice to see the Morgan banker clan get more power after years of rule by the Goldman Sachs banker clan. Its good to have two ruling parties in a democracy. ::)

looks like the Chicago Jewish Mafia clan (run by retired Irgan member Benjamin Emanuel, along with the Pritzker and other wealthy Chicago Jews) has some overlap with JP Morgan.

another reason to crash JPMorgan ?
