Democrats Say Obama Needs Stronger Team

Former administration officials and Democratic operatives tell The Hill that President Obama “is ill-served by his current White House staff and must reboot his second term team following the disastrous Obamacare rollout.”

“First-term insiders argue the White House’s weakness was defined by a lack of preparedness, messaging blunders and failure to keep the president informed. They say Obama’s team lacks depth after the departures of longtime advisers David Axelrod, David Plouffe, Robert Gibbs and Patrick Gaspard, and suggest new people must be brought on.”
