The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, or NGA, is a combat support agency within the Department of Defense.

They provide satellite based intelligence solutions for other parts of the government to use.

You can read all about them here.

Feel comforted in the fact that you are only a few hours behind the President of the United States (and former US Senator) in learning that this agency exists.

The Smartest President Ever learned about the agency by a chance encounter with one of its employees at lunch today.

Obama: What do you do Walter?
Walter: I work at, uh, NGA, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
Obama: Outstanding, how long you been doing that?
Walter: About six years
Obama: Yea?
Walter: Yes.
Obama: You like it?
Walter: I do, keeps me…
Obama: So explain to me exactly what this National Geospatial…uh…
Walter: Uh, we work with, uh, satellite imagery..
Obama: Right
Walter: [unintelligible] …support systems, so…
Obama: Sounds like good work.
Walter: Enjoy the weekend.
Obama: Appreciate it.

There’s 2 options here: either the government is too sprawling for one man, let alone the man in charge of the government to keep track of it, or the President should know but doesn’t.

When do we get to start describing President Feckless as “intellectually incurious”? Imagine if this exchange had been between Walter and President Bush?
