O'Malley gets a shout out from Obama
Barack Obama got a plug in for Gov. O'Malley and StateStat in his speech yesterday to the National Governors Association:
I know that many of you, rather than wait for Washington, have already made your states. You are innovators and much of the work that you've done has already made a lasting impact and change in people's lives. Instead of debating the existence of climate change, governors like the seven of you of you working together in the western climate initiative, and the 10 of you who are working together on the regional greenhouse gas initiative are leading the way in environmental and energy policy. Instead of waiting around for the jobs of the future, governors like Governor Gregoire and Governor Granholm have sparked the creation of cutting-edge companies and tens of thousands of new green jobs. And instead of passing the buck on accountability and efficiency, governors like Martin O'Malley and Governor Kaine, have revolutionized performance management systems, showing the American people precisely how their governments are working for them.
Looks like that little "endorsing Hillary Clinton" incident isn't hurting him too much...

Typical talking points from our lack of experience President Obama, whom I imagine has never heard of Martin O'Malley until yesterday.
If he (President Obama) had the time to really look into Maryland's StateStat, the cost vs. the inflated partisan information from it, he would LOL.
Or maybe not.
Birds of a feather, flock together.
Or, in O'Malley's case, will change their feathers to fit the blowing wind.

Hey Andy are you dressed up as a cheerleader for your boy Marty when you write this crap!
I scratch my head.
What do you consider the boy king's accomplishments in Maryland-
besides raising taxes and spending as always here in Maryland?
The free statemore like the prepared to be fleeced state!
