President Obama and his insular team are violating almost every principle of crisis management. Shoot straight. Ditch the spin. Don’t feed the fire. Restore trust.
While the West Wing is run by smart and dedicated public servants, their crisis communications instincts are horrible. They dissemble. They make things worse. They undermine the administration’s credibility.

He needs to set aside his (oft-justified) contempt for Republicans and the media, acknowledge his team’s failings, and brace his administration for an onslaught. He may need a new team.
