Nothing like Eighteen Million Dollars for Nothing yo help the bottom line and employee moral! Ehh! Stinks the High Heavens!! and enjoy the looting amd plundering of America from your pile silver:-)
I look forward to seeing what $18 million buys the government — I know what I could do with a fraction of that.
You left out the $3 Billion in ACORN and another $2-3 Billion in Highjacked State Funds like in PA.NJ, and CA that flowed to OBOZO under the table and another $3-4 Billion in FREE MEDIA PROPAGANDA Grom NBC,ABC and CBS!!!
And them the Village Idiot almost LOST except McPAIN Saved Him by suspending his campaign and NOT SUPPORTING SARAH PALIN!! OBOZO IS A LOOSER HIS WHOLE LIFE, Except for this Freak Accident!!
The $18MM site redesign is the tip of the iceberg of the level of corruption, fraud and waste of tax payer $$$'s. Chump change!
How on earth does the redesign of the Porkulus I website cost $18 million?? LMAO...They can start with tracking and accounting for the wasted $18 mil to redesign a frickin website. The corruption, fraud and outright theft of taxpayer's dollars is just revolting. PIGS!
That logo should be on a t-shirt.
Oh boy. This is good ad material.
...the Obama Administration awarded a 5 year $18 million contract to Smartronix, a Maryland-based IT firm with connections to House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, for the redesign of Recovery.gov. Launched in February to track the expenditures of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009... the administration has failed to deliver on two pledges central to the Obama campaign's rhetoric: fiscal responsibility and unrivaled transparency... FedSpending.org, launched in October 2006 with a meager three-year $334,272 grant from the Sunlight Foundation, is a voluminous online database of all federal grants and contracts. And, unlike Recovery.gov, the website monitors the entire federal budget, and does so at a fraction of the projected cost of Recovery.gov. Of course, the revelation that the private sector outperforms the federal government is not new. Recovery.org, a project of Onvia, monitors the flow of recovery funds from the federal government to private businesses in real-time, unlike its overpriced government counterpart which reports spending 100 days after-the-fact, thereby enabling wasteful or fraudulent spending.
You left out the $3 Billion
__________
I thought it was 4.5 BILLION.
ZOWWL! YEP! I stand corrected with my deep apoloies! Add another 1.5 Billion dollars to the cossst of buying the White House, the Ultimate Pay to Play Scam!

You got that right!!! Does anyone think for one minute if he hadn’t bought the MSM and had 750 MILLION dollars that that POS would be in the WH now? No way in hell.
Maybe after the makeover, Biden will be able to remember the website’s name.
;’)
To start with 19K over 10 years is nothing to a congressman, and the company didn’t give it, the owner that lives in Maryland did. You also have no clue what it costs to produce software for the government, and unless you know the particulars of the contract, you’re blowing smoke out your butt. I have a degree and 30 years experience of software development for the military. Do you?
You are clueless...
You don’t buy influence for 19K over a 10 year period....
What an elitist pig.
I agree with what Newt said. They think if they appoint a czar/make a web page the task is done. Obama needs impeached for many reasons but ONE is that he is not qualified.
Lets NOT forget how the Media was bragging about the Huge Palestinian Phone Banks that were calling U.S. Voters and trying to covince them to Vote for OBOZO HUSSEIN direct from the MidEast! Was this Legal? MAY GOD HELP US and OUR AMERICA NOW!
Obama is truly anti-american, anti-Christ.
Whatever -
Enjoy your welfare - no need to thank me.
I think some posters are beating up on you un-fairly. Where I do not know the lifecycle cost of the software your company plans to deploy, I do know that most likely within that 18 mil is most likely the final product, periodic code releases, bug fixes, support and I would have to guess that infrastructure is in there somewhere as well (if not VM’s or bare metal servers, at least projected bandwidth fees)..
