But less than Bush did.

Weren't the Dems outraged by Bush's spending?

Not only did Barry triple the deficit, he doesn't curb gubmint waste.
Now there's some change for you.

President Obama on Thursday will announce fewer budget cuts and for a lesser dollar amount than President George W. Bush did in his final budget - and is counting on being able to eliminate some programs that his predecessor repeatedly tried, but failed, to slash.

Another joke from Obama. All of us cannot be fooled.

Yea, cut 20 dollars over there and spend a billion like he is over there and it is called a cut or a trim. Not so.

Another lie. Does he think people are really that stupid.

What happened to line by line cut promise he made? Guess that line by line trimming was yet another lie.

He got just over half to vote for him didn't he ! So I'd say ya...

The line by line cut session that was promised... Oh, that's what got cut from the program... I guess nobody got the memo on that one.

Less than 1/4 of 1%, on already questionable projects. To put that into persepective, if you make the average $60K per year, you would have to cut a whopping $150 from your budget to acheive the same "savings". Do you think you could do it? Would it make a difference to your budget?

I guess the left is too busy looking for Palin stories.

Watch how the Red State GOPers oppose his farm subsidies cuts...They are on the dole big time.

It's akin to going shopping and spending $500 but you saved $2.50.

It will be interesting if the same Dem congress will approve Barry's "cuts" after not doing so with the very same "cuts" Bush asked for.

None of them are really cuts anyway, just a reduction in spending increase.

The most unsuccessful salesmen are the ones who claim their products are just as inferior, but not more so, as the next guy's.
