Doc Holliday said:
Funny, his last chief of staff lasted longer than any of Obama's.
4 Pinocchios--Denis McDonough, Obama's 4th chief of staff, served for 4 years. Previous ones served about a year, except for Pete Rouse, who was an interim.
In his eight years as president, Obama officially had four chiefs of staff, three of whom served during his first term. It's worth noting, however, that Pete Rouse did serve under Obama as an interim White House chief of staff for a little more than three months. In fact, Trump is counting Rouse whose tenure was meant to be temporary from the get go in his tweet criticizing Obama's multiple chiefs of staff.

Reports that
Jack Lew would replace Bill Daley as Obama's chief of staff in January 2012 spurred Trump to take to Twitter to bemoan what he appeared to imply was an ineffective revolving door of White House senior staff. "[url=https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/156829591267328000][Three] Chief of Staffs[/url]
[sic] in less than 3 years of being President," Trump tweeted on Jan. 10, 2012. "Part of the reason why @BarackObama can't manage to pass his agenda."
While Obama's first presidential term did see a high rate of turnover for the position of White House chief of staff, Trump's tweet is more than a little ironic as he appears to be going through chiefs of staff just as fast, if not faster, than his predecessor. Trump announced Saturday that Kelly, his second White House chief of staff, would leave before the year was over. Reince Priebus, Trump's first White House chief of staff, lasted only about six months in the position before getting the boot.
