Obama picks Orszag as budget director

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Barack Obama intends to name Peter Orszag as his budget director, Democratic officials said Monday, turning to Congress’ chief adviser on spending and taxes as he fills out his economic team. Orszag, 39, is serving a four-year term as head of the Congressional Budget Office. If confirmed by the Senate, he would head the Office of Management and Budget, the agency that makes sure a president’s priorities are translated into spending decisions.
