The Bigger They Are

The harder they fall.

Alternate phrase: The bigger they are, the greater the screw up.

We can now thank the incompetent Obama Administration for the spread of H1N1

A Washington state biosurveillance firm raised the first warning about a possible outbreak of swine flu in Mexico more than two weeks before the World Health Organization offered its initial alert about a public health emergency of international concern.

Both federal and international health officials had access to the warning from Veratect. Later e-mails calling attention to the company’s subsequent report that the disease was possibly spreading in Mexico were sent to 10 officials of the Centers for Disease Control, said Robert Hart, the company’s chief executive.

Hart said he wasn’t sure why health officials didn’t act sooner.

Oh, I’m sure they’ll think of some excuse that doesn’t “Stop the Buck” in the Oval Office.

When will people learn that the larger the government entity, the more responsibility they have, the bigger they can screw up and effect their lives?
