Abu Wabu

Why, just look at today's WaPo; it'll take yer breath away, they're so deliciously huge (and hugely delicious!):

President Obama plans to convene his Cabinet for the first time today, and he will order its members to identify a combined $100 million in budget cuts over the next 90 days, according to a senior administration official.

Although the budget cuts would amount to a minuscule portion of federal spending, they are intended to signal the president's determination to cut spending and reform government, the official said.

Well. They certainly do. In fact I'd venture to say that this towering example of monumental fiscal leadership signals President Gigantic Cajones' "determination to cut spending and reform government" with admirable precision.

So magnificent is President Gigantic Cajones' Fearless Leadership that I'm leaping on the bandwagon immediately and making the same measure of sacrifice in my own personal annual budget. That's right: tonight I'm passing on that second cup of coffee. Tonight, and every other night.

Why, by the end of the fiscal year, I will have made over 260 budget cuts and slashed my spending by a Messianic .0029 percent!

Now that is Change You Can Believe In!

UPDATE
Brian Reidl offers perspective, points out President Cajones' preference for theatrics over substance, and shows us the only real budget solutions coming from Capitol Hill.

UPDATE
Allahpundit: Painfully stupid. Poor Microsoft Man:

I'm being completely sincere. Only in Washington D.C. is a hundred million dollars not a lot of money. It is where I'm from; it is where I grew up. And I think it is for hundreds of millions of Americans.

Really? A hundred million dollars for hundreds of millions of Americans is chump change, you dummy. 100 million divided by hundreds of millions? Let's go easy on the hapless Robert Gibbs, who is so fucking hopeless as President Jugears' press sec he is overmatched by the D.C. press pool, ferchrissakes; let's allow that he was referring to only two hundred million of three hundred million in America.

Fitty cents apiece? Big woop. I believe President Gigantic Cajones (will I ever tire of this magnificent jewel of idiot irony? Not as long as it sends a chill up my leg, hardy har.) used the term "chump change" not too long ago in reference to much loftier sums.

But we're talking a hundred thousand times that much over the next ten years for every man, woman and child as their personal debt to Chimpy McJugears' incandescent economic brilliance. And that ignores every other monetary confiscation this walking, bullshitting disaster is going to foist onto American taxpayers' backs.

Will you pay for all this stupidity?

Oh, yeah.

Ohhhhh, yeah.
