Here’s Obama's 'Smart' Government at Work
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 07/09/2013 | IBD Staff

Posted on 07/10/2013 3:47:19 AM PDT by IBD editorial writer

ObamaCare: The president brags about how he's bringing smart, 21st century technology to government. But the news surrounding that talk provides a showcase for how inept his administration is when it comes to IT.

'We've made huge swaths of your government more efficient and more transparent, and more accountable than ever before," President Obama claimed Monday.

But the very next day, AP reported that a "computer system problem" has caused his administration to delay yet another piece of ObamaCare for at least a year.

What is ‘smart’ about destroying, disarming, and
degrading America, while transferring its assets
to mosques and terrorists worldwide??

NOTHING.

Rube Goldberg is alive and well in Ohahacare.

Amazingly, this chart is supposed to simplify and explain......comes from a consultant group paid to assist in the process of getting states to create exchanges (the ones that interface with the IRS, HHS, and an assortment of know-nothing snoopy federal agencies).

Shows the mess Ohaha created, and why the WH apparatchiks cannot make it work more than three years after its passage.

=========================================

Every thinking American knows Obaba can't be trusted w/ govt power----he lied before about Ocare and he's lying again and again WRT amnesty (w/ that stupid smirk pasted on his face----the mark of a true conman).

Obamacare is a massive boondoggle orchestrated by the WH organ grinder and hia dancing monkey (Pelosi).

The free h'care promise financed by fines and enrollments is nothing but a sap-happy progressive pipe dream.

The waivers are starting b/c O's imbecilic plan is proving to be unworkable (employer waivers and eligibility waivers are just the beginning).The fraud and abuse waiving eligibility creates is mind-boggling.

Same w/ the amnesty bill----US taxpayers will be extorted til kingdom come if this ever passes.

Ha! They’re doing this all by themselves without any help!

Just imagine what their ‘rule’ would be like if a group of people, call them the Next Revolutionary Warriors, made up of patriot hackers actually turned their stuxnet-like talents into organized resistance?

Where is the health care delivery?
Here, five thousand people in DC take the $$$$
but there is NO healthcare.

“efficient”? “transparent”?

Really?

You’d think “O” would choke on these words.

What he knows about efficiency and transparency would fit into the navel of a flea.... with enough room left for a Hummer!

Yeah, right. The problem is there is a defect in the hard drive between his jug ears.

Obama’s “smart government” IRS admitted last week that it dumped thousands of taxpayer IDs and Social Security numbers online. It’s the stupidest government in history, and computers make the mistakes even worse because of the sheer volume involved.

Obamacare is what used to be called a “grand design” or “waterfall” computer project.

In government, these plans nearly ALWAYS fail.

Just as for-instance, the reserve component of the military worked more than a decade on their RCAS mobilization system (for calling up reservists to active duty and other administrative matters related to wartime mobilization) and after hundreds of millions of wasted dollars during the 1980s and 1990s could NOT produce a workable system. (The IRS and FBI experienced similar flops.)

From those and other grand design nightmares, smart agencies learned how to develop incrementally, in small bite-size pieces. This practice used to be called “design a little, test a little, deploy a little.” Or, you know, trial and error. (The reserves finally finished RCAS via this discipline.)

As another for-instance, a system that was developed over a decade in small, workable pieces was then known as the ARPANET, in which the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency developed protocols for making various computer networks interoperate.

Only AFTER researchers and scientists arrived at the TCP/IP protocol did people begin referring to the practice of “internetworking” and the platform for doing it as “the Internet.” (And Al Gore was NOT involved in this.)

Had any of this been attempted as a grand design to drive a specific government program, it would have completely flopped. (And you would NOT be reading this message.)

Obamas’ system doesn’t have any problems “mistakenly” releasing any “dissidents” social security numbers and other info. I REALLY despise what this pos has done to our country.

“Where is the h’care delivery?”

I keep asking the same question. Can anyone name just one aspect of health care to be provided? CEO’s of our hospitals cannot answer this question. January 1 will be a CF of colossal proportions.

‘We’ve made huge swaths of your government more efficient and more transparent, and more accountable than ever before,”

Put on your waist waders the crap is getting deep.
Passing out Bullshyt does not make it true.
Government is not efficient, transparent or accountable.

What is efficient ,transparent or accountable about Fast & Furious, Benghazi, Obamacare, weapons to Al Qaeda, the EPA,
or any other part of this Obama Government.

How does this fool come up with statements like this?

We’ll have a card to ‘prove’ you have ‘health insurance’.

Health ‘care’ is another story.

If you were put in place for that purpose then I suppose it would look to your masters as if you are smart.

When I was an eighth grader my cousin told me he knew where I could get a job. I bit on that and asked him where and he replied, “Standing outside the Doctor’s office making people sick.” I think a certain “won” was put in office for the purpose of making America sick. In fact I don’t think it, I know it, in the same way I know where to look for the sunrise from my front door.
