It’s extremely hard to know whom to ask and whom to trust. But it would be good if the next C-I-C, assuming it isn’t the Traitor in Chief again, were to look into the top ranks of the military and retire a number of the bad guys.
One clue, I think, would be to fire everyone who was fast-tracked by Obama or Clinton.
It’s a pretty safe rule that Obama hasn’t made one good appointment anywhere during his time in the White House. Not one.
A baby killer as head of the health department. A Communist as head of the military. Insane Czars all over the place. Lesbian whackos on the Supreme Court. He has an almost perfect record of promoting and appointing the worst possible people imaginable.
Would Romney clean out this mess? Frankly, I doubt it. Bush did little or nothing to clean out Clinton’s mess, even though clinton appointees constantly undermined his administration for eight years. I fear that Romney will do no better.
I don’t think Romney got his reputation as a turnaround artist by trying to leave things alone. He’ll go after identifying and correcting the problems in a big way. If this means, as it must, big changes in “management” - he will do it. Like Reagan, he knows how to surround himself with smart people and use their talents to achieve his stated goals.
