Here Are The 8 People Obama Needs To Fire If He Wants To Win In 2012
Business Insider ^ | 10/27/2011 | Grace Wyler

Given the deeply flawed state of the Republican presidential field, the 2012 campaign is shaping up to be Barack Obama's race to lose.

But with his approval ratings in the cellar and his economic recovery plans DOA, the President still faces an uphill battle to convince disaffected voters and alienated Democrats to get back on board his campaign.

Clearly, Obama's current strategy isn't working. Both the West Wing and the campaign are plagued by internal divisions, driven by longtime staffers who have spent the last three years alienating the party base and knocking Obama off his message.

There is still an opportunity to change course. With 12 months to go until Election Day, the President has some time to shake up his team and reverse his downward spiral. But since Obama has so far been unwilling to make the tough calls, we've compiled some suggestions of who should get the boot.

Most FReepers could make the same list without ever reading the article. However, the same article adds after each name and why they should go, why Obama probably won't fire them. Good. Although firing some of his senior staff and cabinet appointees to gain votes probably wouldn't help Obama, I want him to keep receiving the same bad advice from his circle of Marxist sycophants so that his defeat will better assured.

He likely won’t fire Biden, because Biden serves only one function and that is to pardon everybody when the time comes to do so.

That is the only job of a Veep in this modern day of politics.

Obviously, the writer's imagination didn't extend to ten.

Interesting, as well, that the writer's sympathies obviously lay with Obama -- "the 2012 election is Obama's to lose".

Yet they can list -- with a straight face -- eight members of the administration who have been terminal f***-ups (toallymissing at least two more). And each with a reason why they will be retained...
