Kelly already bringing order to the White House

In less than one day, Gen. John Kelly put everyone on notice that he means business.

From the moment it was announced that Reince Priebus was out as chief of staff and he would be replaced by General Kelly, there was speculation that Kelly would overhaul the configuration of the White House. It is clear after day one that will be the case.

Kelly, a retired four-star general, was thought to be a choice that would restore much-needed discipline to the West Wing. With the firing of communications director Anthony Scaramucci on day one, we now know this is at the top of Kelly's agenda.

Scaramucci had only been on the job a little more than a week before being shown the door to give Kelly a clean slate. However, in his first week, Scaramucci proved to be a loose cannon with his off-color comments to a reporter regarding Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus, something that Kelly will not accept.

The removal of Scaramucci indicates that as White House Chief of Staff, General Kelly will run the White House like a military operation. His goal will be to have the West Wing operating with the discipline and precision and a proper chain of command, the way he did when working with the men and women in our armed services.
