Wow, he has like a million mistakes in just one sentence. There is no Government Accounting Office. It is the General Accounting Office. The GAO works for Congress and not the president. The head of the GAO is David M. Walker and he is the Comptroller General. The GAO is not an accounting office, it's an accountability office which is different. However, Walker did work for Arthur Andersen before 1999-- so he sure knows plenty about accountability. Mitch Daniels is the Director of OMB-- a Cabinet-level appointment-- and he used to work for Eli Lilly.

The media has spent the last 40 years dumbing down the sheeple to the point that it's OK to make mistakes like this. Ever see those "man on the street" questions? I don't think that a lot of people don't even know what the Congress is, let alone their accountability offices.

And that's why the GOP loses and the Democraps win. We overestimate the intelligence of the American people.
