This is where Obama will most likely fail. He likes to try and get a consensus, get people in a room, etc.

This is a situation that calls for immediate action. It calls for Obama to make the people responsible "fall on their sword" - as in a memo that says "I will accept your resignation at your earliest convenience".

This, in my *opinion*, is one effect of having political inexperience in the White House does (as Obama wasn't in the Senate for that long). He's not decisive enough to deal with this situation while it's still exploding.

The longer it festers, the more people will be brought down by it.
