Must be fundraising time on FR again. Political correctness has kicked in and factual posts are getting pulled. We dare not offend at fundraising time!

Explain exactly what the hell was wrong with #12.

You’ll get no argument from me.

Although, I think Obama is a special case—he is a gifted con-man and a political psychopath. As he said to Harry Reid after an early speech, “I have a gift.”

That’s not to say he’s competent as a lawyer.

I have worked for government agencies many times over my 25 years as a contractor.

They think nothing of living lavishly on taxpayer expense, and wasting money to benefit their friends companies

I am sure this will make Bostonians wake up and realize that Democrats are destroying their wonderful city......do I need the sarcasm tag?

There are SO many people abusing in the system in Mass state govt. it is hard to keep track of them all.
LOL ... as your next door neighbor in NY (and occasional listener to Howie Carr), I feel your pain.
Can you spell Sheldon Silver? I'm also taking bets on Andy Koo-mo's arrest date and subsequent resignation.

Gross mismanagement?

They don’t even have a database of required maintenance on rail cars. Someone wouldn’t do that unless they purposely intended to conceal problems.

I’ve watched the first five minutes... she is clearly Peter Principled beyond her capability. A typical AA appointee using words and phrases she somewhat understands, mixing in emotional appeals and self-aggrandizement of her efforts. Maybe I’ll sit through some more—but it is 26 minutes of mush, so I don’t think I’ll make it too far.

Nothing substantive at all. The reporter even asked her again; “What is being done now to address the problem?.” She either didn’t know or has no solution because she didn’t answer the question again. Completely useless.

Amazing what an incompetent person can accomplish in just 2 years

Trying not to imagine what one could do in eight...

Another triumph of affirmative action. Or should that be affirmative inaction?

“Love serving our population.” “Dedicated.” “Not my first rodeo... I’ve been through floods, 9-11, snowstorms...” etc, etc.

Typical bureaucrat figurehead who knows nothing about the department she is in charge of.

Somehow all PRIVATE businesses in Mass. managed to get their lots cleared and kept business running despite the snow.

What could possibly be the difference that caused the UNIONIZED MBTA to stop all operations?

Actually, I am a NH resident. However, as a MA ab utter we hear all about their issues. Plus, most of our network TV stations come from Boston.

Howie wrote the book “The Brothers Bulger”. A good read if you haven't.

Our government abuses here in NH are pretty minor. About ten years back out town clerk embezzled about $17K. It was a big deal in my parts. She lost her job and did some time.
