Jeffrey Zients will serve as President Obama's new acting director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), but the president's decision might undercut attacks on Republican Mitt Romney's career as a venture capitalist, because Zients and Romney are both alumni of Bain & Company.
"I'm pleased to designate Jeff Zients to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Since day one, Jeff has demonstrated superb judgment and has provided sound advice on a whole host of issues," Obama said in a statement accompanying the announcement today. Zients previously served as Deputy Director of OMB under Jack Lew, who became Obama's chief of staff with the departure of Bill Daley.
Romney might also be pleased at Zients' promotion, given that they have a common professional background; Zients worked with Bain & Company as early as 1988, according to the Bain website. Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney worked at Bain & Company, first from 1977-1984, and then again from 1991 and 1992, when he was the Bain & Company chief executive officer.
Update: Bain & Company says that Zients worked there from August 1988 to June 1990. Romney apparently returned to Bain & Company from Bain Capital in January 1991, so they missed each other by six months.

Hahahahahahahajahahanahahanahahanahahanajahajahahajahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahanaha! Ok, I am over it now.
Figured it out. Obama is going to try to out Romney Romney.
Brilliant
Sounds like Obama hired him to get the “insider story/dirt” on Romney should he (God forbid) become the Rep national candidate...I’m still praying for the miracle on Main Street (SC) and Newt pulls out a surprise win over the media/Romney assumptive winner.
Hilarious.
I can’t wait for the next MSNBC or Lil’ Debbie of the DNC’s next slander-fest against Romney.
Who vetted this guy? ´Seems hussein has taken himself right out of that play.
Thursday’s debate should be interesting!
It’s up, I made Drudge!
If Bain’s good enough for Obama, guess it’s good enough for the WH in 2012....
