WASHINGTON (AP) -- Cut a latte or two out of your annual budget and you've just done as much belt-tightening as President Barack Obama asked of his Cabinet on Monday.

The thrifty measures Obama ordered for federal agencies are the equivalent of asking a family that spends $60,000 in a year to save $6.

Obama made his push for frugality the subject of his first Cabinet meeting, ensuring it would command the capital's attention. It also set off outbursts of mental math and scribbled calculations as political friend and foe tried to figure out its impact.

The bottom line: Not much.

The president gave his Cabinet 90 days to find $100 million in savings to achieve over time.


Whew, we can all sleep better tonight, eh?

You may want to bookmark this, for it will be a Nevada Ballin talking point, "look how frugam Bam Bam is..." "Office supplies in bulk!!! Yay Obama!!"


It is like a sit-com, no?

Next episode: "Cookies and tea with Hugo", where Obama will read Hugo's book titled, "how the United States raped Latin America" to a classroom full of government educated 3rd graders!!! (This way they are being educated the "proper" way.

Yay Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone regretting their vote yet?

[resnor]

Of course they're not, Sup. Have you ever hear the story "The Emperor's New Clothes?" That is what is going on here. Obama makes a mistake, and all the libs say, "No, he didn't do that!!" Which is like all the emperor's people telling him how good his clothes looked, even though he was standing there naked!!!

[conviction]

Is this the onion? that cannot be serious.

Oh no, its real. I know this administration seems like a comedy, and their ideas certainly bring about a sense of disbelief, but yeah, Bammy thinks that we are on our way by buying paper clips in bulk.

LMAO that is one great video. A billion in earmarks in minuscule but those 100M savings add up? This makes the Obama Administration look weak and illegitimate.

Gotta laugh at the right wingers in here. All the recent complaints about spending too much money here and too much there but a small effort to start to reduce some spending somewhere happens and of course, it's just not enough. He could cut 1 billion over the next 4 years and it still wouldn't be enough. It's like the concept of "got to start somewhere" is totally lost with some people.

I donated to a charity today...I threw a buck into a can.

GOTTA START SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!!!!

This is actually pretty funny.

250 Mil each year? How does that do anything when TRILLIONS of additional money will be spent in that time period?

It doesn't matter how much you cut in one area if you plan to spend it ten-fold in another.

That's what were talkin' bout.

[Gtrght77]

Why is it a so called liberals responibility to be fiscally conservative? You had the chance the last 8 years and spent more then anyone in history. Now it's an issue? LOL


If you ask me its what you spend it on that matters.

[Gtrght77]

We can save money by not funding the US Empire. That would be a great start.

It would have been cool if you actually DID donate that dollar. Some infant somewhere may have benefited by it with some formula. Yea, even a dollar is worth something to someone.


Kinda funny how people say "trillions spent each year" but fail on waiting to see if those investments in ourselves from the plan create an actual ROI in its timeframe. Nah, let's not do that, let's just bytch about the spending part cuz that's easy and always popular to do.

Yo Supdog, how's that fallout shelter comin'? .
