"‘Obama Bros’ admit they should’ve done ‘some of the stuff’ Trump is doing with DOGE
Former aides to President Barack Obama admitted on an episode of “Pod Save America” they should have done “some of the stuff” President Donald Trump is doing with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
When discussing DOGE’s initiatives to cut federal spending, the “Obama Bros” admitted to “lamenting” their situation.
Jon Lovett, a former Obama speechwriter, implied he “didn’t know” they could make government so efficient.
“Honestly, some of this is pretty annoying because it’s some of the stuff we should’ve done. We didn’t know you could do some of this,” Lovett said.
“We all know that government is slow. We all know government can be inefficient. We all know that the bureaucracy can be bloated. We all worked in the f—ing White House. We tried to reorganize the government. We tried to find efficiency. It’s hard to do,” Favreau said.
What Trump is doing with Musk and DOGE is revolutionary. The government will not be the same when they are done with this work. We are witnessing a historic moment."
