22. I don't know, but that is what Susskind seems to be saying.
After all these guys have been around for decades. Any president who steps into the WH is going to have to depend on more experienced people until he gets his own feet on the ground.

As I said at the end, Kennedy was undermined horribly also early in his presidency. When he made changes after he realized they had lied to him about the Bay of Pigs, he wasn't very popular with the MIC.

I imagine it happens with all of them, unless they are part of it all, like Bush Sr.

Presidents are human, so I always wonder who do they know what to do when they first get there. And I realize how important the cabinet they surround themselves with is.
