We need to make government smarter and less wasteful. Obama is calling for consolidation of several agencies now, and that's at least a start. I think some of Ron Paul's ideas in this area are good too. The stuff I've heard from the other candidates? Mostly garbage.

RP's too much of a isolationist. But we do agree here, smaller, smarter and less wasteful would be the way to go. Though to be honest I don't trust Obama as far as I can throw him. For all his "Hope and Change" rhetoric. he's just another corrupt full of shit politician that will say anything to try to gain votes. The fact that he throws hissy fits when he doesn't get his way and tries to circumvent congress often makes me dislike him even more.

Yes, but most people that don't like Obama doing that would support someone on "their side" doing it because it means they're standing up to Congress and fighting for what they said they would do. Congress passed the bill to create the agency that Obama is trying to staff. Congress thought they could get away with creating it to get the rabble to shut up and then smother it later. This is actually him doing exactly what he said he would do, and Congress has just been playing bullshit games as they always do, no matter who is in charge. Pretending to be in session when they obviously aren't is just a load of crap. Wonder how long I'd last if I just showed up for work, said hi, and walked back out.

When Bush tried to appoint people and failed, he backed off. He didn't pull a hissy fit like Obama has EVERY TIME things don't go his way. Be honest about it. Obama still could have waited the manditory 3 days to try to appoint them.

Name me one time during his entire presidency that he's taken responsibility for issues rather than blame Bush, the GOP, or the rest of us for not "understanding his vision"
