From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were.

Yes, it is all Obama's fault. Can't wait for Donald to take over.
polygraph results as well. Incompetence at its finest.
Keep going! Every responsible manager and every IT person in the OPM needs to be fired, for a complete house cleaning.
Keep going! Every responsible manager and the entire IT staff should be fired.

It's "The Donald" to you.
This is outrageous! It's a serious blow to US national security. OPM is a sick joke.
What are you trying to say? They had the most talented and best qualified people in charge. People with enormous technical qualifications about security and computers.

Remember a private company will always do things better.
Are you calling for another war?

I hope so, because this time it is someone who can actually defeat and subjugate the US. Better brush up on your Mandarin.
Maybe Russia and China have seen how we treat our own labs. Maybe they think they can win.
I was just reading up on the cold war as you suggested. Very helpful, thank you.
It reminded me of all these great achievments we had in that period:
Korean War,
Vietnam War
Sounds like the good old times are coming back. Who needs diplomacy, when we can bomb someone, even if it means we get our butts kicked.
Concede the Spratleys. They earned em.
Aleutians next, until we stop employing Neandertals pretending to defend and protect us.
A weak man now as President. Next a woman We are no longer protected by men. Expect more challenges.
If Obama is weak I guess that makes Bush a traitor. It was HIS (Bush) CIA that hired Snowden, the perpetrator of one of the most egregious thefts of classified, secret and top secret documents this country has ever seen.
Yeah,the Chinese may have your s.s. number but nobody is going to have their life put in jeopardy as a result (unlike Snowden).

You sure about that? How about the Chinese, or Iranian, or Syrian, or Russian, citizens that were listed on the SF86 as people a DOE/contractor employee had "close or continuing contact" with, especially if their government was not aware of it and they had access to sensitive information in their home country? The other side of that coin: If you have/had a clearance and had listed "close or continuing contact" with any foreign national, be prepared to be targeted as an espionage source.

You haven't survived Obama yet.
You ultra left wingbat conservatism is showing.
