Personnel not personal

@BreakingNews: I generally think you do a good job. But tonight, you made a bad typo, and, despite the efforts of a number of journalists like me on Twitter, you still have not corrected it.

Tomorrow, President Obama is making a personnel announcement, not a personal one. He is nominating Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Below is the White House’s Daily Guidance and Press Schedule, e-mailed to reporters this evening.
