President Obama declared Thursday that 99 percent of federal employees are not boneheads.
"Are there some federal workers who do some boneheaded things? Absolutely,” Obama said at a town hall meeting in Minneapolis, Politico reported.
The president recalled something that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates told him: “One thing you should know, Mr. President, is that at any given moment on any given day, somebody in the federal government is screwing up.” That, said Obama, is "is true because there are 2 million employees … If 99 percent of the folks are doing the right thing and only 1 percent aren’t, that’s still a lot of people.”
Gates' remarks clearly made an impression on Obama. In Sept. 2012, he also noted publicly that "at any moment in the federal government, there will be people who do dumb things."
The 1 percent principle of boneheadedness probably puts the federal government on par with any other large organization. Of course, it also means that at any particular point in time, in some corner of government, somebody is doing something like pooping in the hallway.
I'd like a moment for rebuttal.
Can someone prove it? We have lots of evidence to the contrary.
> Obama: Vast Majority of Federal Employees Are Not Boneheads
Just the democRAT ones.
No, they are incompetent dumb-f*cks.
And many are just plain crooks.
Bad drivers don’t know they are bad drivers.
Stupid people don’t know they are stupid
That hasn’t been my experience.
So he’s admitting that the 1%ers at the top of the government food chain are doing the boneheaded actions.
Well, that statement assures me that 99% are making a bad name for the 1% who aren’t...
We’ve come a long way from not a smidgen of corruption.
OK, so 48-49% of Federal employees ARE boneheads.
Do boneheads plead the 5th, destroy evidence and lie under oath? Or do criminals?
So now “our fearless leader” has a new title??
“The Bone(hea)d Queer In Charge”?
O is a commie who supports a caliphate...that’s all it takes
LOL, it worked!
“Vast majority = 51-52%
OK, so 48-49% of Federal employees ARE boneheads.”
However, 100% of Federal Gubment employees are “Trough Feeders”.
I notice he isn’t claiming they aren’t sociopaths.
Apparently, obamA has never talked to a federal employee
This is nothing but his attempt to downplay/soften the scandals.
“These weren’t partisan nefarious acts. They were just a bunch of dumb mistakes committed by boneheads.”
Nice try!
