Wow!I haven't seen this many changes in one administration in just a matter of 2 years!That shows me they're not getting along!
It's called "Bailing off a sinking ship"!!!
Good luck CHIEF. I sincerely hope you are willing and able to stand up to the punishment.dirty tricks for the rich are and have ruled. Please tell MRS. AXELROD thanks, the retaliation was close to lethal but it wasn't her fault. Best wishes for 2 fantastic years for you and yours.
and the musical chairs begin...who will be sitting and who will be standing when the music stops?
Is Obama going to blame his staff for his lack of leadership now?
I'll come work for you Mr. President. Even if no one else will.
Hopefully Obama will be included in the staff shake up and we can get a real leader!
Staff shakeup? If only he'd begin by firing himself and replacing himself with a real liberal instead of a phony liberal who bends over backwards to keep the right wing GOP happy every step of the way. I could not be any sorrier that I voted for this guy and even did so very enthusiastically!
This is not breaking news. We need to hear that the current admin is go to attack the the oil tyrants and keep fuel prices down. And just lower the boom on greed at all levels. \m/
I actually like Gibbs because he gives the conservatives as good as they give. I wish he was a member of "President Ralph Nader`s" staff
Shakeup? They can start with Obama.
Is it true that Obama is going to add the corrupt ex mayor daly to his staff?
For Obama, shaking-up his staffs are like prepared for defence, when the Republicians are storming/coming back like a HURRICANE with high categories. For this reason, Democrats have only one option on the table. Either stay strong and be a good defence or leave the area IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!
This is an administration full of smart people...contrary to Republicans and the years of Bush.
YEP. A new breed.... yeah right. They are going to clean up Congress?!?!?!? They have already been bought and paid for.
Keystone Cops!!! The largest group of incompetents ever assembled!
I'm bowled over by the ingratiating superlatives that CNN heaps on to the heads of people in the Obama administration which CNN would think unseemly if there were a Repub in the White HOuse.
its like moving the deck chairs on the Titantic
No to Pelosi for anything but White House Chief Please
