Fiscal conservatism and honet values are FINALLY back in the White House. Took a DEM to show the GOP how it's done. Awesome!

Wow ethics in Washington, That is a welcome change after the last 8 years where there were no ethics by anyone in the administration, and #1 and #2 were the worst offenders.

The Bush/Cheney administration did not come to govern...they came to steal.

That is good.

Pls keep us posted.

I'll be singing his praises if he keeps this up!

Not a bad idea overall. Thumbs up.

BTW 100K in DC is not as much as the majority of the rest of country thinks it is. The northeast is insanely expensive.

I would add he froze the pay of his senior staff who are in part already rich from working elsewhere.

I do like him going after the lobbyists though.
