Most Disreputable Member of the Obama Administration

Boy, it's really hard to narrow it down to just one person, but based on what I've seen lately, I'd have to give the nod to OMB head Peter Orszag. He's a pipsqueak of a guy to begin with and when I hear him talk he reminds me of any number of smart-aleck kids I knew in school who thought they were big stuff because the teacher let them run the movie projector.

Here he is in a less than stellar moment during a budget hearing. The video is described as follows:

Representative Paul Ryan questioning Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag about the inflated war costs used by the Obama Administration. It turns out that $1.6 trillion of the “savings” Obama is anticipating are based on the surge in Iraq continuing for 10 more years — even though Obama has already announced all combat troops will be out of Iraq by 2010 and the Status of Forces Agreement is set for 2011. Orszag looks like a clown in his effort to respond.

"Clown" would be an appropriate description.

I've seen this guy in other hearings, and in one case was asked about the effect reduced deductions for charitable giving would have on the nation's charities. He responded that there was something like $100 billion in the Porkulus bill to help support non-profits, and that sort of gives away the real game. Obama wants private funding to charities reduced so they'll have to rely more on government funding, thus expanding government's role in the lives of everyone affected by those charities.

I really don't like this guy. He reminds me a lot of this guy:
