A White House run by minor leaguers

Dan Voss

I was watching White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on TV last Sunday essentially saying they have given up on containing the coronavirus. I was reminded of two quality people who served in that position in prior administrations. James A. Baker III quite ably served President Ronald Reagan and President George H.W. Bush. Leon Panetta was chief of staff under President Bill Clinton. Although they served presidents of different parties both were highly respected. I long for an administration populated by major leaguers and not the minor leaguers such as Mark Meadows who are quite prolific in this administration. Hopefully this will change after Nov. 3.
