Obama Ramps Up Push For Government Efficiency
ABC News ^ | July 8, 2013 | by Mary Bruce

Touting his government efficiency programs, President Obama today directed his cabinet to craft a management agenda that allows the federal government to be “smarter, quicker and more responsive to the needs of the American people.”

“Taxpayers deserve the biggest bang for their buck, especially at a time when budgets are tight and we’ve got to do a lot more with less,” he said. ”I’m going to keep on doing what we can administratively, but we sure could use Congress’ help.”

“Particularly at a time when Congress is saying they want more efficient government, they give a lot of lip service to it, and we’re operating under severe fiscal constraints, it makes sense for us to be able to redesign government so that it can deliver on the functions that the American people are looking for,” he said.

Obama can start by scrapping the disaster known as ObamaCare.

"deserve the biggest bang", "they give a lot of lip service"

Just what I thought. Prelude to governmental porn.

Oh seriously. Budgets really are tight and we're still waiting to see what you and your parasite mother in law and a niece banged for our buck in Africa for $100 million. We're still trying to figure out why you went there at all. All we got was tourist photos.

I shouldn’t be surprised, but the chutzpah of this man is astounding. He spend millions and millions of dollars on vacations for him, his family, and who knows else, and he talks about getting the most bang for the taxpayers’ bucks? Maybe he meant he is getting the most out of our money. It’s enough to make me bang my head on a wall. Grrrr.

He could resign his office and his citizenship... other than that... nothing good will happen for another 3.5 years.

Tell the Won to go stand in a DMV line, apply for a business or zoning permit, apply for veterans benefits, wait his turn at a DUI checkpoint, or buy some bottled spring water at a Harris Teeter.

What a jagazz.

Zero could have talked about ramping up push for government efficiency at the correspondents dinner and gotten a HUGE laugh. Bet Leno will have some fun with this.

Citizen, do your part to make the National Socialist
Workers Parti more efficient! Clear the road blocks
and jump hoopers from the path of efficient parti
decipline. Throw out the old out moded legislative
hurdles and let the fuhrer do the job he was elected
to do. Seig Seig Seig Hail!

We saw the result of this efficiency when the IRS helped the Tea Party through their 501 requests.

Remember Citizen, the last time we had a government
like this we didn’t even have computers, nothing but
5x7 index cards and mimeograph machines and look what
we accomplished!! Now with Herr Obama leading a new
enlightened party maching, a cyber party of the future
can be ours. Hail! Seig Hail!

No joke, but when I was a copy-editor for the China Daily, I had to edit articles with the same exact language as this ABC News posting. Looks like China Daily writers got promoted to work for ABC News. I recall meeting a taxi driver in Beijing who loved talking about his son working for an ABC affiliate in Phoenix. He even showed me photos of the newsroom. Nothing special, but for the taxi driver it was a big deal.
