The administration also argued Friday night that the cost of the Western Regional Conference increased sharply under the Bush White House -- from $93,000 in 2004 to $323,855 in 2006 to $655,025 in 2008, then $840,616 in 2010, or just 28 percent under Obama.

Remember back in 2009 when Obama told people not to go to Las Vegas. Seems this might get to be a great campaign issue for the king Obama. Here is a link to a 2010 story.

The pervious coach was 8-8 so my 6-10 record isn’t that bad considering the players I inherited.

FIRE the coach in November.

Safavian, GWB’s GSA chief of staff was involved in a scandal with Abramoff. He went on a golf trip with Abramoff costing 100K, and it appears that Safavian did not pay his share. He was convicted of lying but later an appeals court overturned the conviction.

Which GSA was worse, Bush’s or Obama’s?

UNEXPECTEDLY, the 0 administration blamed President Bush for more if its totally self-inflicted problems.

OK, the “UNEXPECTEDLY” shouldn’t be there. Sorry. ;-)

2006 was the year of the democrat congress, and Nancy Pelosi’s peeps were supposed to be the watchdogs

Its obvious from the timeline where the irresponsibility really started to escalate

Yes, and what does that have to do with the GSA?

The President appoints the GSA Chief of Staff. I believe it was the GSA IG who started the ball rolling this time, not congress.

Safavian was talking to Abramoff in 2002 about GSA leases. While the GSA never issued such leases, I think that was highly improper. I don't remember what GWB said at the time, but I don't think anyone in the WH wanted him to keep his job.

But Safavian was only one person, and it may be that under Obama or during the Pelosi years, the overall corruption in the agency is worse. I don't know.
