The Problem in a Nutshell
Here a paragraph from The Washington Post's review of David Kuo's new book, Tempting Faith.
"Some in the press would later 'expose' that we in the White House had doled out grants to friends. They were technically wrong," he writes. "We didn't do it. We didn't have to. The White House influence was so great that its will was carried out by other appointees in other departments without thinking."
The type of pervasive influence that works without asking is more dangerous that any other type. To prevent this run away influence the founding fathers put checks and balances into our Constitution. But the current Congress also carries out the will of the White House "without thinking."
