And I thought I was bad with deadlines.

Turns out the Obama Administration is not too fond of them, either. Not that it made any national front-page news (more on that in a minute), but according to a survey by the Congressional Research Service (and detailed in a memo obtained by Forbes staffer) the administration has missed half of its own deadlines.

The CRS tallied up 82 deadlines and found that the administration only nailed 32 of them on time. No wonder they're announcing more delays than a software developer. They're not even ready for half of this law themselves.

You can check out the blog here, which offers all the sordid details, and is actually a pretty good read.

While it's easy to simply blame Obama (or Kathleen Sebelius if you prefer), I think it's more of a reflection of the glacial, inefficient pace of the federal government than anything else. I think we'd be seeing this kind of stumbling, bumbling rate of implementation no matter who was steering the ship from the White House. That October enrollment should be a blast — if the computers don't crash.

But what probably bugs me even more, though, is the coverage this story's receiving — as in, almost none. Where are those lamestream media conspiracy theorists when you need them?

Seriously, though, this only reinforces my argument that the media isn't so much biased as it is lazy. It doesn't help that it has the attention span of my dog: "Squirrel!" The media's moved on, and it's clear they care about real news about as much as the society it covers. Which also probably explains why so many uninsured Americans still have no idea what's going on with this legislation.

I guess my point is that the feds move slower than corporate America, and the news media moves way too fast to be bothered with something so important. It's just too boring to cover.
