The "vetting process" hasn't worked good enough. Look at how many crooks made it through.

The amount of money spent by the Government in the first 6-months is the largest amount ever spent. I would hate to see how much more money would have been blown if the Government was running at full capacity.

I don't think there are a lot of people standing around looking at snapping up these Government jobs. I don't believe the talented people are that stupid to take these jobs!

If you want to hold an office at any time in your life, get your ducks in a row now for the vetting process.

If the administration needs these things, they need to count it as part of the background check and pay it...it is a write-off for them.

We can't have red tape getting in the way of getting work done.

Look, if the Government didn’t process in this manner then we would all complain about how it wasn’t efficient enough. Talented individuals understand the process and are patient; nothing that is done right is rushed along without process. President Obama has only been in office for 7 months now and has a large undertaking, and I appreciate his high level of thinking and hard work for the people, for America.

Given the string of tax cheats and subjects of investigations who were 'successfully' vetted, maybe random selection from the population would be better.

With a process this cumbersome there are bound to be some good candidates that get tired of waiting and having their life on hold and just give up and go on with their lives and work elsewhere. Talented people are always in demand and the government will have to move faster to be able to snag any of them. The government streamlined the tax return to require less paperwork – why not streamline this process? Its ridiculous that these jobs are not filled so our government can work at full capacity; it looks bad to other countries as well; and the worst fact is that we will use the best and the brightest if this vetting process continues to be as slow as it is now.

Hillary Clinton needs to put in her four years, pull a Colin Powell by recusing herself from a second term and then run for President under the mantra of someone here to fix eight years of failed policies.

To Bad Obama didn't vet his friends a little better, he might have known that most of them were TAX CHEATS!
