Presidents often need new energy and talent to refurbish their second terms. George W. Bush opted for such a shake-up in 2006, and it arguably saved his presidency. Barack Obama is now facing a similar moment, and there are signs hes looking to make some personnel changes after the November congressional elections.
Obamas foreign-policy team needs help. National security adviser Susan Rice still suffers from unfair attacks over the Benghazi affair. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was similarly tarnished by a rough confirmation hearing. Secretary of State John Kerry has been a tireless advocate for Obamas policies, but theres inevitable tension between a strong secretary and a centralizing White House. CIA Director John Brennan is an experienced Arabist who can frame Middle East strategy, but he was wounded by an unfortunate fight with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), chairman of the intelligence committee.

He can send them to Liberia on a fact finding mission. That ought to get rid of most of them.
Hey, pResident Obola, you want to shake up your administration? Bring them all with you on a golf outing to Liberia. In between rounds, you can go visit the local population and members of our Armed Forces that are there.
