Obama identifies the key problem with our government:
“The domination of special interests, the domination of lobbyists, the loss of a civic culture in Washington among public [servants] has led not only to well-known disasters, like the mismanagement of the Katrina situation, but quiet disasters, where you’ve got entire agencies that have been hollowed out and you’ve got political appointees who aren’t concerned with the mission of those organizations,” Obama said. “So we’ve got to transform Washington and we’ve got to do some house cleaning… part of my job, I think, as president, is to make government cool again.”
In all seriousness, if Obama is elected, I’m certain the government will become the coolest place of all, at least as portrayed in the media. Whether that will help solve any actual problems is another matter.
