(Reuters) - President Barack Obama asked Congress on Friday for authority to shrink the U.S. government and create a single export agency, saying the bureaucracy was too complex and unable to meet the demands of a 21st century economy.

Is there any idea Obama won't steal from Republicans ;)
All that team is gonna be left with in their policy basket is freely dumping benzene into the river and starting unnecessary wars.

Federal govt now has 250,000 less employees than it did in 1987, just for some perspective.
Dunno if it's just a matter of eliminating jobs, but also consolidating overlapping bureaucracy. The GAO estimated $62.5 billion in expenses related to overlap in domestic food assistance and $77 billion in overlap related to DoD procurement among other findings.

The debate was interesting. The gloves were off against Romney. Perry actually managed to be forceful, and didn't stumble the way he has been. Newt is still hitting the "food stamp president" message hard.
Juan Williams was one of the moderators, and they had him ask every question that concerned race and/or immigration - which all by itself seemed a little off, but on top of that, the audience would actually boo him for asking such things. It was crazy. Some conservatives (tea partiers) that I follow on Twitter were actually blaming Juan for asking such things - that he was asking inappropriate questions (immigration policy?).
If you were judging a state, based on their audience at one of these debates, South Carolina would not be looking so great.

If you judge South Carolina on the basis of actually have spent time there, it doesn't look so great either.
The irony of holding the debate in South Carolina, on MLK day, had to have Lincoln spinning in his grave.

A third-party presidential bid by Ron Paul would help President Obama, a new poll says.The Pew Research Center finds 44% of registered voters would support Obama, 32% would back Mitt Romney and 18% would get behind Paul in a three-way race.
Paul has repeatedly said he has no intention of running as a third-party candidate if he does not win the GOP presidential nomination. But his refusal to completely shut the door -- Paul says he doesn't like absolutes -- has kept such a scenario a possibility.
