Obama and Red Tape

Obama vows to cut red tape on Katrina.

Obama vows to cut red tape on Veteran's Care.

Obama vows to cut red tape on renewable energy.

Obama vows to cut red tape on broadband.

Obama vows to cut red tape on communities.

Obama vows to cut red tape on auto makers.

Obama vows to cut red tape on mortgages.

Obama vows to cut red tape on faith based initiatives.

Obama vows to cut red tape on homeless care.

So the question to ask is: Who puts in the "red tape" ?

Government right? They make things difficult, which hampers the markets and exacerbate the problems they are trying to fix.

If cutting the red tape is good (ie getting government out of the way).

Then why is Obama and DC pushing for more government involvement in everything?

Maybe it's just narcissism. The belief that red tape is good, as long as it doesn't hamper me. Seems to be the same argument for taxes. They are good; until I have to pay them.
