Stupidity in the White House

he terms of the reorganization, five agencies — the Small Business Administration, the United States Trade Representative, the Export-Import Bank, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Trade and Development Agency, plus the business and trade functions of the Commerce Department — would be consolidated into a single agency focused on helping the private sector. Mr. Obama said he would elevate the director of the Small Business Administration, now Karen Mills, to his cabinet. The United States trade representative would retain cabinet rank, the White House said." Mish Reporting

This is where entanglement seems confusing. To government ministers, creating another cabinent position is reducing the bureaucracy.

But from the outside, it seems to me they had a meeting and decided the best method to make Obama look stupid, and they chose the optimimum Obama-is-stupid path. Seriously, are they even aware of the Internet in the White House? I want to see the idiot who proposed this, government expansion and calling it a reduction. I am reminded of the Ray LaHood Choo Choo scam. The scam comes into town, repeatedly, so that reporters around the world can write about the Jim Costa train to nowhere, making Costa look like a dunce. Anybody get this?

Contrast this with Jerry Brown. Brown pathetically services his liberal base, but Jerry spent time in Jesuit school, training himself to know when he is or out of the box. Obama can't do that.

Go read Mish's comments, he adds more irony.
