Obama's closest advisers, likely to leave in White House shuffle

Today, America is facing a time where decision making is critical. Especially, the president's decisions. President Obama has been relying on his advisers almost for two years now. However, that will change soon as White House Staffs are being shuffled soon and Obama will be surrounded by new people.



 
As one of his advisers bluntly put it, the president "doesn't like new people."
Like it or not, he will soon be surrounded by them as an expected staff shuffle will
deprive Obama of two of his closest aides and an influx of replacements will take their places within the West Wing. 

Obama will soon lose other top advisers. His chief economic adviser, Lawrence H. Summers, announced that he will return to Harvard, where he is a professor; Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina is expected to join Axelrod in Chicago; and national security adviser James L. Jones is said to want out by the end of the year. 

 According to this article, Obama is known to dislike "new people." As his reliable source changes, his decision can be influenced differently. Not only that, the fact that he is losing his economic adviser, during this recession, is a big change. However, the article also mentions that it seems Obama has already chosen his new advisers. Will the advisers help the president differently? What will happen to Obama's next move? All we can do is watch.
