WASHINGTON -- President Obama's new Ebola 'czar,' Ron Klain, has an extensive resume at the top levels of politics and government -- if not in battling infectious diseases. He was the chief of staff for two vice presidents -- Joe Biden and Al Gore -- and one attorney general, Janet Reno. He also served as a senior White House aide to President Obama. After leaving the White House for the private sector in 2011, Klain became a partner in the Washington lobbying firm of O'Melveny & Myers LLP. He was not himself a registered lobbyist, however, which means the White House ban on hiring lobbyist doesn't apply. ... Case said Klain would take a leave of absence and planned to return to his company. "Ron is a talented manager and a wise counselor who understands government, business, and the non-profit sectors," Case said in a statement. "We look forward to welcoming him back soon." As Biden's chief of staff, Klain had a key role in implementing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 -- and signed off on one of its most controversial projects: a $535 million loan guarantee to solar panel maker Solyndra. "Sounds like there are some risk factors here -- but that's true of any innovative company that POTUS would visit," Klain wrote to Department of Energy officials on May 24, 2010, a day before Obama visited a company factory. "It looks like it is OK to me, but if you feel otherwise, let me know."
