It's official: Obama's a bust!

Mr. Obama has yet to take the oath of office, yet his administration is stillborn. How so, you ask? Sheer size. The failed government of George W. Bush is the largest, most bloated, most expensive, and least competent in the history of this nation. Mr. Obama is taking this colossal mess as his starting point and is preparing a government that will be larger, more bloated, and more expensive yet. And what will that get him? A government even less competent than that of Mr. Bush, if such can even be imagined.

Any sensible person with management experience knows exactly what's wrong with the executive branch--it's too damn big! It's supposed to be an executive, not an imperial court, for gosh sake's. Just as you can't have an effective army led by a gazillion generals, brigadiers, colonels, and captains, all with their attendant assistants, subordinates, and subalterns; you can't have an effective executive staffed by thousands of managers each with his own staff, each member of which has his own sub-staff, each member of which has his own sub-sub-staff, etc. The only effective executive possible in this world is small and tightly organized with a minimum of staff. Bigness frustrates effectiveness; bloated bigness destroys effectiveness.

So what is Mr. Obama's choice? Bloat, more bloat, infinite bloat. This silly man is encasing himself in bureaucratic concrete, and he is so inexperienced that he can't even recognize his peril. All he knows is the world of politics where staff size is a matter of prestige and where a politician's worth is measured by the number of bootlickers, parasites, and hangers-on who work for him.

So much for voting for change!
