In a press conference originally scheduled to announce former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle as his nominee as secretary of Health and Human Services - the same position Governor Blagojevich was hoping to buy himself - President-Elect Barack Obama found himself talking less about health care reform and more about Blago. About Daschle, Obama said, "As such he will be responsible not just for implementing our health care plan. He will also be the lead architect of that plan," noting Daschle will also lead the new White House Office of Health Reform; Obama also named Jeanne Lambrew as deputy director the new office.
