I like the idea of someone who can't be fired reporting to the President, along with all the ones who can be fired. A client of mine who worked for the CIA says that the most powerful people in Washington are the ones who decide what the President sees in his daily briefing book, which is usually his first contact with the outside world when he gets up in the morning. If they decide not to tell him about a problem, it doesn't exist. And however they decide to spin a problem, that's what he hears.
