President Barack Obama has been in office for just two months and has thus far done relatively well on a number of fronts including the Stimulus Package. But in other aspects such as the AIG 165 million bonuses he seems manifestly mired in a state of paralysis and perpetual impotence. This is because he has not been served well by, among others, Secretary of Treasury. And his chief advisors appear to have been better in running political campaigns than in governing America. If the imbalance between the Obama Administrations's increasing appearance of ineptitude and his personal brilliance and integrity are not reconciled then the political mischief and shenanigans stoked by the Republicans could eventually take a toll on Obama and his administration. Thus the president should ask himself if those who have not served him well and are likely to continue to drag him down should not be excused from his cabinet. Loyalty should'nt be enough to keep someone whose usefulnesshas been overtaken by his ineptitude.
