This is the smartest bunch of people ever to occupy government office. From the WSJ Error: USAJobs.gov
Americans in search of federal employment can go to a website called USAJobs.gov, which matches openings with applicants. Since 2004, the feds have outsourced the site's operation to Monster.com. Good call by whoever was in charge in 2004. Monster.com is the private company that pioneered employment websites and is today the largest job search engine in the world.
But 18 months ago the "smart" Obama Office of Personnel Management decided the federal government could do a better job of running USAJobs.gov. It spent some $6 million developing a new in-house version of the site, promising to improve the job-search experience. It unveiled its creation two weeks ago. It's a monster all right.
The volume of requests instantly crushed government servers, slowed the system and locked out thousands of applicants. Naturally, the site has a Facebook page. Naturally, the comment queue is boiling over. Examples:
"Why am I having to do the same search 3 times before anything shows up?" "Over one week now and I still haven't received my password reset email!!" "USAJOBS WEB SITE IS A DISASTER!" "I entered Delaware and got Germany jobs and all of the Forest Service." There is a Facebook page on which frustrated job-seekers are complaining.

obama and his minions are all so intelligent.
And we thought his Middle East policy was bad...
That’s because it’s not about intelligence or service. It’s about control, and the idea that government should be in charge of every aspect of your life.
I have never seen such a hatred for business in all my years. We are all going to be living like Nazi Germany soon,and people are going to be blindly wondering how we got here.
“Tank you for calling US Government tech support, my name is Rahul how may I help you?”
Oh, BTW, the site will be down at 10PM tonight for one hour to "improve service".
USAJOBS will be unavailable starting at 10:00PM EDT for
approximately one hour as we work to improve the site.
