U.S. President Barack Obama plans to ask Congress for more power to shrink the federal government, a White House official said Friday.
Obama plans to speak at 11:20 a.m. about his plans to make the federal government "leaner, smarter and more consumer-friendly," the official said.
The president's proposal includes plans to combine several agencies that focus on commerce and trade.

Most people are not exceptionally bright.

@ gung hoe: I just reread well enough to see your accident report to us. I hope you recover quickly.
@ bobcat:
I'm doing well enough to work most of the time. I had to cancel some things today and rest.
This teavangelical – driven congress isn't going to give this president an inch. Their only focus is to discredit his ideas and the efforts he's made to improve our nation. What a disgrace!

Republicans will not allow this by a Democratic President.
Just another smoke and mirror ploy to get re-elected. The GOP won't give him what he asks for in the form he wants it, but it's all for show anyway.
