President Obama makes brilliant move

Did you hear the announcement yesterday that President Obama asked Congress for the power to reorganize--and shrink--the federal government, especially as it applies to the Commerce Department? He's "...prodding Congress to give him greater power to merge agencies and promising he would start by collapsing six major economic departments into one." He wants to combine the Trade and Commerce Departments, at minimum. It really is downright brilliant. It hits the Republicans, the Right Wing, the Tea Party and "Conservatives" and even the Libertarians right where they live--or right where they want to live. That's what people don't realize about Democrats and the Left, too. They don't get that actually liberals also want smaller, more effective government. It's just that they (we) do want a safety net, so to speak, for the poorest of us but there's no reason we can't or shouldn't have smaller but more effective government. As I said, it's a brilliant move and it undercuts the very things the Republican candidates for his job say he--President Obama--won't do or isn't capable of. Fantastic. Now, if the Republicans in Congress don't give it to him, they'll look like idiots or hypocrites--or both--and he can use it against them. If they give it to him, he gets credit for shrinking and organizing government better. It's a total win situation for him.
