The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 3/15/2014 | Stella

David Wright, director of the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) in the Department Of Health And Human Services, just quit his job in a big way. Wright wrote an insanely blunt resignation letter that was recently published by ScienceInsider. In it, he exposed the dysfunctional bureaucratic red tape that limited him from doing his job more than half of the time.

Good, nobody elected you a Dictator of our Health. Screw you and the whole mess.
Another useless alphabet that needs to be run by states if the voters want it. Make
our leaders accountable for these useless entities.

Oh no, the PINO actually thinks government can deliver.

He's the real tool.

I think he's taking a well-deserved vacation, far from Washington. I think he said he was going to ... Malaysia ...

Somewhat remarkable letter, given that he had to be a devout liberal and politically correct, in order to get the post at HHS.

From his letter:

"Since I’ve been here I’ve been advised by my superiors that I had 'to make my bosses look good.' I’ve been admonished: 'Dave, you are a visionary leader but what we need here are team players.'"

From his letter:
“Recently, I was advised that if I wanted to be happy in government service, I had to “lower my expectations.”
As for the rest, I’m offended as an American taxpayer that the federal bureaucracy—at least the part I’ve labored in—is so profoundly dysfunctional. I’m hardly the first person to have made that discovery, but I’m saddened by the fact that there is so little discussion, much less outrage, regarding the problem. To promote healthy and productive discussion, I intend to publish a version of the daily log I’ve kept as ORI Director in order to share my experience and observations with my colleagues in government and with members of the regulated research community”

” - - - Koh’s office had a “seriously flawed” culture, calling it “secretive, autocratic and unaccountable.”

This is the REAL Obama!

I’m amazed there even is an **Office of Research Integrity *** within the Dept of HHS; which begs the question...”what have you been doing since 2008??”

IOW the Democrat team Dave. Another brick in the wall Dave, or you will find yourself out on the street with a tin cup, and we’ll tax that Dave.

This is a code title for "Office of Research Conformity". The word integrity is used to mask the intent.

Wright wrote an insanely blunt resignation letter...the letter may have been insanely blunt, but he sounds like one of the very few sane people (formerly) in this administration.....
