Obama Could Replace Aides Bruised by a Cascade of Crises
Stumbles in the handling of the Ebola crisis and the Islamic State have fueled speculation that President Obama may shake up his foreign policy team.
"Ultimately,
of course, the administration’s crisis management reflects the
president. Mr. Obama, several officials said, came back from his summer
vacation on Martha’s Vineyard frustrated that the White House seemed
reactive to events, and instructed his staff to shift its response into a
higher gear. Yet he remains deliberative, methodical and not swayed by
outside criticism. His blowup during a meeting on the response to Ebola two weeks ago was the exception rather than the rule, they said.
“We’re
managing a multiring event, and I think reasonably well. I would say
very well, if I were not trying to be a little bit studied,” Ms. Rice
said. “We’ve got a lot of balls in the air, and frankly, they’re still
in the air.”"
