EVEN WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF ADMITTED WHEN IT CAME TO REGULATIONS, SOMETIMES YOU CANT DEFEND THE INDEFENSIBLE.
White House Chief Of Staff Bill Daley: "Sometimes You Cant Defend The Indefensible." One by one, exasperated executives stood to air their grievances on environmental regulations and stalled free-trade deals. And Daley, the former banker tasked with building ties with industry, found himself looking for the right balance between empathy and defending his boss. At one point, the room erupted in applause when Massachusetts utility executive Doug Starrett, his voice shaking with emotion, accused the administration of blocking construction on one of his facilities to protect fish, saying government throws sand into the gears of progress. Daley said he did not have many good answers, appearing to throw up his hands in frustration at what he called bureaucratic stuff thats hard to defend. Sometimes you cant defend the indefensible, he said.
