Easy things Romney can do to survive first year

 by WileyC

There's quite a few people that serve at the pleasure of the president. There's no congressional oversight because they are members of the executive branch, in effect, and they are simply appointed. Others require the Advice and Consent of the Senate and become more contentious (judicial appointments are always a hot-button issue).

Romney needs to walk into the Oval Office prepared to clean house. It's much better to take the political heat early than to have a viper working against you during your presidency. "W" learned this the hard way when he tried to play nice coming into office. Just like with a failing business that has bad leadership, you have to clear the ranks of anyone who will stand in the way of success.

Too many agencies are rife with A) liberal partisans or B) endemic corruption. The EPA and the State Department are so glutted with socialists and progressive they are probably lost causes. In other cases, there are plenty of good people (the Justice Department) and the only major problem is the person currently at the top.

The best plan is to clear out everyone that BHO brought in with him and anyone who has proven to be an issue when it comes to real reform. Don't accept moderates; put people ready to make real change and be ready to can them if they can't handle it.
