OK sorry to comment on my own comment but I've been reading up on this the past couple hours and I once again call total bullshit on the Obama administration.

I made several donations to the Obama campaign but like so many others I have been terribly disappointed at what a flimsy useless ballsack he has been at actually walking the walk and even ensuring a halfway decently basic level of adult functionality in the federal government.

How hard is it after two and a half years in office to have an agency that isn't still figuratively if not still literally spreading its legs wide open for the industry it's supposed to be regulating.



The US Federal government employs 2.5 million people. Promising significant changes in such a gigantic organization is one thing, actually achieving them quite another, no matter how well-meaning or competent one is...


The problem is that one thinks that they can control and manage such a large organization. There are inherent structural dynamics that will always come to fore.
