Christina Romer, one of President Obama's top advisers, plans to step down effective Sept. 3.

Romer, chairwoman of the president Council of Economic Advisers, plans to return to California, where her son will be starting high school, the White House said Thursday evening. She also is returning to the University of California, Berkley as an economics professor.

"Christy Romer has provided extraordinary service to me and our country during a time of economic crisis and recovery," Obama said in a written statement. "The challenges we faced demanded more of Christy than any of her predecessors, and I greatly valued and appreciated her skill, commitment and wise counsel.

Romer was reported to have butted heads with other members of Obama's economic team, in particular Larry Summers, director of the National Economic Council.

In December, the pair even seemed to contradict each other on whether the recession had in fact ended -- in interviews conducted on the same day.

"Everybody agrees that the recession is over," Summers said.

"Of course not," Romer said in a separate interview.

The clash appeared at the time to speak not just to the differing views on the economy within President Obama's inner circle but also to the sharply conflicting signals out of the economy itself, which continues to struggle to rebound.

Never have I seen so many Resignations especially forced at that.

Faux news.

Do you have a better source?

Christina who??

same with bush disagree , and your outa here.

Eh, they don't have much to hang their hats on...how many people resigned under the Dippic during his first term? 34 total cabinet members in 15 positions...but I know this because the RW media were crying over the "liberal" medias making a big deal over it. Now the RW machine is using the same accusation about themselves?...lol.

"Accordingly, the only accurate thing that could be said at this point is that Gonzales' resignation brings President Bush closer to historical trends in turnover of cabinet members. However, the liberal mainstream media (is that redundant?) is still trying to pitch the rats-escaping-a-sinking-ship metaphor."

The GOP's Plan B?...oh wait, they have no plan A! Did they get plans past the Just Say No plan?
