Bureaucracy post

http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/30/opinion/borger-obama-defeated-by-bureaucracy/

This post mostly involves the issues related to president Obama's policy agenda with the national veterans association in regards to information associated with the organizations trust funds and how he is "staring down the looking hole" of bureaucracy  issues with these associations. The president was very encouraging that he would fix the issues associated with them. There is a very delicate balance between these associations and the president and congress, often referred too as the iron triangle.

I believe for the majority of the time the president has done well with keeping peace between these organizations and congress especially in times that he has experienced divided government. The beginning of the article spoke about Obama's confidence when entering into his presidency, and only mentioned one phrase that could perhaps be taken negatively which was "The government needs to be smarter and better" which many took as simply a challenge Obama insisted on taking. This article also compares and touches on Bill Clinton and his attempts to do so during his presidency and mentions the fact that even though Clinton spent years dedicated to reinventing the government he left office with mixed reviews and which seemed less successful when compared to Obama's legacy. Even though a national poll says that only 2 percent of Americas have trust that their government would know the right thing to do in all situations according to the article.
