# 14 RS – well said

Adding to the fail potential is that beta is pre-version 1.0

That doesn’t inspire confidence our National CIO might not understand the difference between version numbers in the world of IT. Almost sounds like a Bushism – we went into production beta.

I’m waiting for lostfreedomandliberty.gov

Which will explain how big government can do things better and cheaper than you can.

I don’t trust this guy. Is he the one who was caught shoplifting and then the whole payola scandal of contractors in DC? http://gawker.com/tag/vivek-kundra/

#6 NOPE. It’s a spending dashboard as indicated, not an online visitors list.

I’m sure the data won’t look much different than the TPS reports Madoff use to submit to the SEC.

Yes, it’s a waste of taxpayer $$. I can stretch the truth for $20.00 if that’s what you want.

#1 Sure Dallas. I wonder if he is going to add the database of people that visit the West Wing that he has so far refused to release?

#3 Actually it’s not so much. The gov uses GoDaddy.com and it costs $13 a year.

What a moron.

This is just a smoke screen. This site will not show exactly what’s going on. The data will be manipulated.

This web site is costing U.S. citizens a lot of money.

Also the website under Firefox has some formatting issues.

Peace.

Another tangible evidence of Obama being accountable to the citizens he serves.

Compare this to the policies of “Don’t both me, I’m in a bunker – Dick Cheney”.
