Here’s the only tea leaf you need to read: You can tell the president’s intentions, stance and strategy by whether or not he shakes up his White House staff, beginning with Valerie Jarrett, a staffer who has accumulated the power, resources and the formal trappings of a prime minister.
Shaking up the White House staff is what President Bill Clinton did when he faced a building tsunami of Republican opposition from Newt Gingrich and his Contract with America in 1994. The Clinton White House was disorganized, famously compared to a group of toddlers trying to play soccer. The most energetic of the toddlers was Ira Magaziner, who made a hash out of Hillary’s Task Force on National Health Care Reform. Clinton’s early White House was beginning to resemble his disastrous first term as governor, after which the boy governor lost his bid for re-election and was sent stunned into the political wilderness.
Get real. He isn't shifting crap. He is going to ride into obscurity with the same clan of dullards and losers that got him where he is today. Does anyone really believe he gives two shits about legacy and getting into the thick of things again? Expect many vacations and golf outing from here on out and leaving the mess to Jarrett et al.

Today he came out and bored everyone with more good-sounding talk. But now that we've heard it all before, while he's saying one thing, we're thinking we've heard this talk before. He should be doing something to repair the damaged relationships and not talking about how sincere he is. Who wants to hear that crap anymore??? from the "We won" dictator.
