It’s the War Room:
Possibly the most important event of the vice president’s day Tuesday is to meet at 2:15 with Earl Devaney. Everyone knows him as chairman of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board — the top guy monitoring the gazillion-dollar stimulus and the overdue economic recovery, and ensuring that the taxpayers financing same know all about it.
However, no one outside the room will know what goes on in that Biden-Devaney meeting. That’s because the government meeting on government transparency has been closed.
I have to admit that I’ll miss Joe Biden for the entertainment value. I just wish that he didn’t have as much power as he does (not that he has much, but however much, it’s too much). He does remain great impeachment/assassination insurance for the president, though.
“He’ll see the Big Board!”
Transparency made for a good campaign slogan to lure rubes to vote Democrat. However, it never was really practiced once Democrat took power. It’s one of the many reasons why the Tea Party is successful.
We don’t need transparency as much as we need a government limited in power such that whatever it did behind closed doors was inconsequential.
I want Biden to have more power. If Obama resigned things would immedately get better. Obama tested the proposition that we would always believe he was better than Biden. Now we know better.
Yours,
Tom
How’s this for an unbelievable Obama quote: “When you’re campaigning, I think you’re liberated to say things without thinking about, ‘Okay, how am I going to actually practically implement this”
If Joe Biden were to become Prez, who would be the new Number Two?
So, there’s a RAT Board?
