Obama knows that they all know the truth, none of his people are loyal... he knows that if he fires them, they will turn on him. Obama surrounds himself with people like himself. That’s why he does not/cannot fire anyone... they will turn.
I think this is true.
I remember when Obama was first elected, they all said that he didn't know anyone in Washington, and didn't already have a team loyal to him (like the Clintons), who were ready to go.
Obama's team is really a collection of political mercenaries that he cobbled together on an as-needed basis.
