Obama was a career politician, he had nothing to do with reforming the bureaucracy. The very article points to that: the massive wasteful spending on records was initiated largely by him. He was able to get some focus and funds, but politicians don't seem to be able to get the right people to lead coherent projects. Healthcare.gov is another, related, example - it was a $2B fiasco contract by CGI, based in Montreal. Google Engineers had to come in and 'fix it' - I heard they just re-wrote most of it. In 'regular world IT' there is still a massive disconnect between the executive layer and the Eng. and Product Leadership that has the competency and means to 'do it right'.
