During last year's second presidental debate, Obama
dismissed McCain's proposal to institute an across-the-board
spending freeze. "That's using a hatchet to cut the federal
budget," Obama said. "I want to use a scalpel..."
Though some of us had our suspicions, at the time Obama wasn't
saying what it would mean to cut government spending with a
scalpel. But now we have a much better idea, as the
Washington Post
reports that President Obama will order his cabinet members
to slash his $3.5 trillion budget by scalpel-riffic $100 million!
Ed Morrissey
notes, this represents a cut of .0029%.
As I wrote during the campaign, I prefer McCain's hatchet,
though a chainsaw
would be ideal.
Wait, isn't 100 bigger than 3.5? O(b/s)ama must think the
American people are braindead. This crap has long since ceased to
be funny. I may have to modify my practice of yelling "thanks,
idiot" to motorists with big O election stickers and just run
them off the road. Then again, they appear to be so easily misled
perhaps I can just point off into the distance and they will
swerve to their own overdue deaths. Wastes of oxygen.

This must be the kind of surgeon you can expect when they get
their degree at a Holiday Inn Express, someone who just plays one
in a commercial.
I think the stimilus bill was also a plan to increase the money
supply. So they just wanted to get it out the fastest way
possible, and decided to blow off the junk in the bill in favor
of speed.
