OBAMA'S ROUNDING ERROR - New York Post

... it amounts to 0.0027 percent of the $3.6 trillion budget.

Make no mistake: Obama's not asking for cuts of $100 mil from each department -- which would also be negligible. He's looking at a cumulative $100 million -- across the entire federal budget.

And this, after he signed one piece of legislation for $787 billion and another for $410 billion -- and then introduced a record $3.6 trillion federal budget.

...Let's face it: Federal spending was out of control even before Obama took office. His plans for massive outlays -- in both the short and long term -- are, frankly, reckless.

And if this is how he responds to public disapproval, he's merely going to make matters worse. For himself, politically -- and for the nation, fiscally.

America needs strong leadership from Washington to climb out of its economic depths. Token gestures on spending "cuts" don't . . . cut it.

Obama needs to get serious.
