. >>> also joining us from washington, republican strategist dan bartlett. dan, good morning to you. as you look at the appointment of bill daley, bill talked a little bit about the breadth of experience there. he is coming from chase, sits on a number of corporate boards. is the message essentially from the white house not only that the white house is open to and for business this morning? >> i think that is the clear message. if you take this, coupled with the tax compromise they made at the end of the last year, it is sending an important signal. we'll see whether it's symbolic with regards to the personnel situation or substantive and told more about that in his state of the union address and the budget later this month. >> the compromise, you know, bill mentioned he's really seen as a centrist, bill daley is and told "the new york times" in the past he thought that the administration miscalculated health care and doesn't always see eye to eye with the president on this. is this also an attempt perhaps by the president to continue that little bit of coop
