So Obama has this brand new thing he just thought of after four years in office: Make the government smarter and more efficient! And he’s super excited and tweeting about it and sending this image around:
Actually, doesn’t he look kind of bored in that? So bored, I can only guess that what’s on screen must be unemployment statistics.
Anyway, smarter government sounds like a good idea. I mean, here’s what the government is doing now: the IRS just accidentally released thousands of people’s social security numbers. Frankly, it doesn’t seem like the government could get much dumber. But do you really think Obama (with the help of Biden!) are capable of making things smarter? Is there any indication they even know what smarter is?
Frankly, these days I’d settle for a less malicious government. Until then, I’d rather the government stay dumb.
I could not disagree more. Obama has plumbed new depths of government dumbness and I expect he will continue to do so.
I don’t want my government smarter, I want it smaller and less control over me.
“He can’t even run his own life, I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine!”
“Now you see these employment stats, Mr. President? Well, in Japan, the hand can be used like a knife. And we cut the figures…like this.”

Oh Janeane how you do like to make speeches.
Perhaps Ms. Garofalo has a point. The alleged President Obama’s plan does include “open up government data” and before you can blink an eye, the IRS has released thousands of social security numbers.
What more do you want?
Fewer Caps?
Oh Janeane, Are you really as dumb as you sound?
“I’d settle for a less malicious government” Me too. I’d settle for a government that’s NOT trying to force me on the welfare rolls or in front of a death panel or jail (I’m not buying health care from the government. I’m not buying obamacare at all, which means I’ll be fined but I can’t pay for medical care so how am I going to pay for the fine. So I’ll go to jail).
………and to answer your question RAML Yes she is that dumb or dumber. I think Scary Evil Monkey is typing her screed for her because her spelling’s improved, mostly. (hint TORCH dear, not TORTCH, SHONE instead of SHINED, spell check is your friend
she forgot “teabaggers”. Oh wait, that should be “TEABAGGERS!!!”.
Why am I the only one to notice that only really dumb things ever get labeled “smart”? As if they expect you to believe it is just because they call it that.
