The most obvious problem with this theory of management...is people die"

Who wrote these words on *'s management style? No googling or searching the DU archives or current posts. Clue. It's very recent.

"The failure to govern well is a natural and a predictable result of disbelief in government. It is a brief step from disbelief in government to disbelief in governance. With many Democrats in tow, conservatives have demonized government: 'Government is not the answer; government is the problem,' was Ronald Reagan’s inaugural pronouncement. How does one, not believing in government, respond when given its reins? In the case of the incumbent and previous conservative presidents the response is to not take it too seriously. Work out a couple of hours a day. Take a nap. Watch television in the evenings. Resist foreign travel and engagement in the great events of the times. Delegate authority, in many cases to incompetent people, because it really doesn’t matter much. Most of all avoid responsibility and, at all costs, accept accountability only reluctantly.

"The most obvious problem with this theory of management, if you wish to call it that, is that people die."

Edit: pelagius got it in two minutes. Gary Hart, in today's HuffPo.
