Assume the worst about this charlatan, but hope he has at least read Unintended Consequences (if not Absolved) and will recognize the events as they unfold for his agency's immediate demise.

You're right about his having the opportunity to do a lot of good if he pays attention to what you had to say.<br /><br />I don't hold a lot of hope; he was,after all, appointed without the possibility of Senate confirmation.
