I Had Noticed ...


I had noticed that President Obama's portrait replaced former President Bush's picture in Social Security offices shortly after the inauguration, but while former Vice President Chaney's picture was removed, it was not replaced. It turns out that it is not just Social Security that is missing Joe Biden's picture -- his picture is MIA at all federal agencies. But take heart Joe Biden fans, relief is coming. The Biden pictures are in the hands of the General Services Administration (GSA) and will be distributed to federal offices shortly.

Those familiar with the bureaucracy realize that the real question here is not why the Biden picture is getting out late. No, the real question is how the perpetually tardy GSA got the Obama picture out promptly. Could it have been the transition office that distributed those Obama pictures rather than GSA? Inquiring minds want to know.

The Obama picture came out on schedule. The Biden picture was delayed by the VP himself, as he had some cosmetic surgery and wanted to delay the taking of his official portrait.

As always, you assume incompetence on the part of government as you ready explanation for everything.
