You think because he got the legislation passed he was elbow deep in it's implementation?

Do you think Nixon was personally testing drugs or testing water supplies, or Reagan was writing software for the Star Wars project?

He'll get status reports in the same way he gets status reports from each department. Implementation details aren't passed up the chain.

This is landmark legislation, he goes around the country campaigning about it. Yes I damn well expect him to be fully aware of what is going on with it. We are talking about one of the biggest changes in how America operates in nearly forty years, if not more.

What irks me more is the refusal of officials to even provide real numbers on applicants and successful enrolls. Really guys, you work for us, quit the lies; and they wonder why so many Americans do not trust their government.
