Normally, when a President is elected, the election is over and people rally to work as a group, and respect the elected President and give him a chance to show what he might be able to do if people would stop complaining and become part of the group that has a say in what's happening. Our current President walked into the biggest mess created in many, many years, and our wonderful past President and his administration, had plenty to do with that. I would usually just lurk and not say anything, but I am so tired of all the whining about what the Republicans would have done I could scream. I have voted for both sides, this time I voted for change, which is what this country needs. We are more likely to have the most government control in this, if the Republicans don't get off their whining and start working toward a compromise. That is the problem here, people need to sit down and work it out so everyone can breath a little easier.
Why are you trying to turn this into an Obama persecution thread?

The SSA idiocy identified in this thread goes back as early as 1998. The stupidity of it lingering as long as it did, at the cost it eventually accrued is inherent in government agency operations, no matter who temporarily receives mail at 1600 PA Ave.

I don't care who voted for whom, or who adores whom. Government agencies, by virtue of the fact that almost every employee is "tenured" unless they do some thing criminal, are destined to always be inefficient, badly managed, and more concerned with spending their budgets to 100% than anything else. No administration has ever been able to change that, and none can short of disbanding entire agencies and departments.
