One Obama transition team leader described it as going from an XBOX to an Atari in an article I read this morning.

Looks as though the kids have taken over the most powerful country in the world.

I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing at this point. I just hope they keep in mind that our world does not work like a video game and once you execute a strategy you cant re-boot the game for a do-over if you make a mistake.

It isn't going to hurt to update the way the government does business. Most of my day-to-day is trying to educate dinosaurs on what "collaboration" is.

Had one lady tell me "there is nothing of interest to me on the Internet". These are the type of people you're dealing with

Just another example of an inefficient government at work. I don't expect an Obama administration to turn this BOAT of a government around especially if he adds more bureaucrats and layers as we expect he will do at some point.

look at it this way, for every 5 lazy sacks of crap sucking off the government tit, there are about 2 very hard workers. Problem is, those 2 are the ones generally removed during "cut backs" or "thinning of government". Why? Because they tend to be the most expensive.

Excuse me...

You mean to tell me that our world does not work like a video game and once
you execute a strategy you cant re-boot the game for a do-over if you make a mistake????
Honestly not being sarcastic but I'm inclined to believe
that there are some people who actually believe they can ....
