How is this a bad thing, Obama bashers?
President Barack Obama on Wednesday ordered an overhaul of the way the U.S. government awards contracts for private sector work, reversing a Bush administration policy that in some cases led to federal investigations of procurement practices and no-bid contracts. Obama joined Republican Sen. John McCain, his presidential campaign rival, and other congressional figures to announce an executive memorandum that commits his administration to a new set of marching orders for awarding contracts. Obama said "the days of giving government contractors a blank check are over" and said changes could save up to $40 billion a year. source yahoo's home page today

- Great, another executive order to circumvent his own legislative branch. And you don't think this man is steering us toward a one man Neo-Marxist show?
- So, instead of costing us 4.35 trillion dollars, Obama's goof ball policies are now costing us 4.3496 trillion dollars. Yippee.
- They'll find a way to call this a bad thing - mark my words. Please cite your source.
- There are two ways to look at it. The Good Thing is alot of the Bush Crap is getting reversed but nobody at the corporate level is getting jailed for it. I wonder why it was so easy for Halliburton (the VP's old CEO Job) to get a govt contract and possibly not having to go through the bid process? Why was there all the allegations of fraud in the news and suddenly, mysteriously they all disappeared??? Then comes the Blackwater Incident that tries to make us think they are enforcing accountability over there. Heard anything about Blackwater lately???? Nothing more than a scapegoat, just like 911 was intended to divert attention from the bs that was going on here in this country on the daily basis. Let's start a war and blame the Muslims for everything so we can look like we are doing something when we just want their oil. It is a proven fact by many inventors that we do not need gasoline to run an automobile. Those people got bought off decades ago and are never heard from again. Those ideas will "magically surface" again when we run out of oil and there is no more money to be made from it. Guess who will come up with the technology too???? The heck with it, Let God sort it out.. That's one movie we will all get to see..
