Does it seem odd to anyone else that she is leaving just as Sheriff Joe is about to have news conference and release universe shattering information?
Would one of her duties include making sure documentation was posted/created to support his biography?
If not her than one in her department ?

A White House official said Mastromonaco is leaving in May to look for a job in the private sector.

It makes no sense to leave a job in order to look for a job. She's being pushed out, and it happened quickly before she had time to secure a new position.

MC: What’s been your biggest screwup?

AM: It was 2006, and President Obama, then a senator, was doing about 50 stops to stump for candidates in the midterm elections. He was in Denver, en route to San Francisco, when our finance director called me and said, “The plane’s not here.” I had reserved a $30,000 private plane for the wrong day.

MC: How did you handle that?

AM: I broke into tears. Rouse heard that I was crying and called Obama to tell him that I was having a meltdown. Then my phone rang—back then he had a cell phone number that came up “Barack Obama”—and I was like, Shit! So I picked up the phone, and I’m like [tearfully], “Hello?” And he said, “I hear that there are some tears at the office—I don’t know why because I’m in a first-class seat on a United flight to San Francisco, and we’re going to be there in no time.” But I can tell you, I took it as a onetime reprieve. I try to never fuck up like that again.

Mastromonaco, 37, the deputy chief of staff for operations, had long talked privately of leaving by 2014, said those familiar with her thinking, but she has been reconsidering her decision after discussions with Obama. She recently took just two days off to marry David Krone, the chief of staff to the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid.

Nabors, 42, who is the deputy chief of staff for policy, had been less open about his plans but was contemplating leaving after this year, officials said. He is responsible, in particular, for strategy on the budget and climate change and has been pressed by the president and McDonough to significantly extend his service.

Mastromonaco grew closer, personally and politically, to the president over time, associates say, and her broad responsibilities grew to include advice on strategy. She often stood out in an overwhelmingly male inner circle; in the famous photo of Obama and senior aides monitoring screens on the night Osama bin Laden was killed, Mastromonaco can be seen in the far rear, the only woman pictured other than Hillary Rodham Clinton, then the secretary of state.

“She recently took just two days off to marry David Krone, the chief of staff to the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid.”

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/top-harry-reid-staffer-earned-1-2-million-from-comcast-after-taking-senate-job

BENJY SARLIN – JUNE 22, 2011, 5:46 PM EDT22
Majority Leader Harry Reid’s chief of staff, David Krone, left a highly lucrative gig at Comcast before working for the Senator. As part of his exit from the company, he’s collected $1.2 million in additional payment since taking his job with Reid.

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304778304576374081773084832?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702304778304576374081773084832.html

Mr. Krone, for example, earned about $165,000 working for Mr. Reid (D., Nev.) in 2009, public records indicate. In 2008, he earned nearly $3 million from Comcast, not including the $1.2 million condo payment he received after starting with Mr. Reid. There is no evidence that Mr. Reid has done anything in particular to benefit Comcast since Mr. Krone came to work for him.

She just casually drops an F-bomb— “I try never to F— up like that again.”

Can you imagine somebody from the White House doing that in an interview 20 years ago? 10 years ago?

No class.
