President Obama needs to shake up his White House staff to give new life to his presidency, top Democratic strategists and former White House veterans say. They argue Obama needs an infusion of talent if he hopes to recover over his final two years in office. One prominent party strategist said Obama “should take a flamethrower to his office.” "He needs dramatic change — it’s not even a debatable point,” the strategist said. “The general consensus that the president is surrounded by people who do him more harm than good because they are more focused on pleasing him than they are challenging him or proposing a different course.”

So, I just want to ask Democrats only, who do you think needs to go?

Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint
And another with spots
If I had my way
I'd have all of you shot!

-- Roger Waters, In The Flesh



I'm an independent, and it would appear that there is NOBODY in the Obama Administration worth salvaging. When you are a political neophyte who judges people by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character, like our president does, you'll surround yourself with people like you. And those people are by and large, incompetent.

Put another way, any administration that would actually harbor a known moron like Valerie Jarrett cannot be saved from itself.

Interdependent means you dont belong to a Party, it says nothing of your ideology or bias. For example, Bernie Sanders is an Independent.

Also, please show some example that actually back up your claims.

Sounds like Elizabeth Warren wants to be President.

If they are in his administration then they support it. What other proof do you need than that? Everything Obama has done has failed - Obamacare rollout failed, stimulus failed, Russian reset of relations failed, securing Benghazi embassy failed, red line against Syria using chemical weapons failed, cutting the deficit in half failed, running the most transparent administration failed, closing Gitmo failed, not having lobbyists in the administration failed, putting all legislation up for the public to view failed, securing our border failed, lowering unemployment to pre-recession levels failed - and these are the people who implemented and supported those failures.

Obama took care of that with Podesta....Also known for his passion regarding UFOs.

"President Barrack Obama has hired incendiary lobbyist and political activist John Podesta as a top advisor for the president’s remaining two years in office. The hire promises to reduce transparency and increase partisan rancor coming from the Oval Office.
Confrontational Politics
In December, the Obama administration hired John Podesta, mainly known for his radical environmental agenda and his creation of the confrontational leftist think tank Center for American Progress (CAP). Prior to his hire, Podesta’s CAP argued Obama should become more aggressive in issuing executive orders and more pugnacious in his relations with congressional Republicans.

Podesta caused a political uproar at the time he accepted the Obama administration position, comparing the Republican Party to "a cult worthy of Jonestown" in an interview with Politico."

Yes, and get ready to learn to love eating tree bark and grass. That's where the path of anti-capitalism ends up.

Not a Dem and not a Rep but I don't think any huge changes are on the horizon with a solipsist in the oval office.

Then again, the possibility exists that I could be totally wrong.
