...realizing that Obama might come in with a knife.

Note the quote from Rabbi Dov Zakheim (neoconservative and PNAC member) on who's watch billions were lost and "unaccounted for", in the Pentagon's black book-keeping. (On Sept. 11th the side of the Pentagon destroyed included the accountants and records of the Pentagon Budget Office!)

Talk about Wall Street fraud, here is another black hole. Zakheim should be brought up on fraud charges. No comptroller of any corporation would get away with the kind of loss and unaccounted for spending (e.g. Enron). There is no accountability in government, especially the Pentagon. Everything is just fine is the message we get when outrageous abuses take place with taxppayers' money.

From the link in my comments above:

Dov Zakheim, former Bush appointee as Pentagon Comptroller from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004. At that time he was unable to explain the disappearance of $1 trillion dollars. Actually, nearly three years earlier, Donald Rumsfeld announced on September 10, 2001 that an audit discovered $2.3 trillion was also missing from the Pentagon books. That story, as I mentioned, was buried under 9-11’s rubble. The two sums disappeared on Zakheim’s watch.

It is a scandalous sinkhole, isn't it?

I've also noticed that if they fail, they say the problem is that they need a bigger budget, more money. (Not that they're doing a bad job or anything).

Then...besides all the example we come to know about, then there also all the covert, under-cover, or "off-budget," scams.
