Budget Director Peter Orszag To Step Down From Post

White House Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag plans to step down from his post in the Obama administration. Orszag, who is expected to leave his job in July, would be the first member of President Obama's Cabinet to depart. Orszag -- who did not plan to stay in the position more than two years -- likely will join a think tank, according to colleagues.
