I just saw the Biden skit on SNL and thought I’d share it with you guys in case you missed it. Pretty funny, one of their better skits.I thought the digs on the economy were pretty funny as well but it would have been funnier if they had included the fact that the administration is either lying about how many jobs were created or saved with the stimulus funds or incredibly incompetent, including districts that don’t even exist (440 of them to be exact). The Obama administration’s excuse?
Ed Pound, director of communications for the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board which oversees the site, said his organization is accurately reporting the information that recipients provide. He said in some cases it appears recipients are entering the wrong congressional districts in their reports.”People make errors, and we’ve found people are making errors in these reports,” Pound said.
Evidently, getting the data correct isn’t the director’s job:
“Our job is data integrity, not data quality,” he said.
Oh and don’t expect them to change the data until January. For this quality of service we are paying $84 million. And you guys wonder why we don’t want these people in charge of our health care.BTW, this is what David Obey of Wisconsin, chairman of the House committee had to say:
In a statement late Monday, Rep. David Obey of Wisconsin, chairman of the House committee, called the inaccuracies “outrageous” and said the administration owes the American public “a commitment to work night and day to correct the ludicrous mistakes.”"Credibility counts in government and stupid mistakes like this undermine it,” Obey said. “We designed the Recovery Act to be open and transparent and I expect the the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, who oversees the recovery act Web site and data to have information that is accurate, reliable and understandable to the American public.”
