Blue Dog Rep. Dan Boren (D., Okla.) calls the Obama administration’s recent decision to hire Bill Daley and Gene Sperling, as White House chief of staff and director of the National Economic Council respectively, “a good move.”

“It’s outreach, it’s working with the business community, it’s moving to the center, and that’s where most people are,” he tells National Review Online. “These are the moves that I wish would have happened 12 months ago.”
