Remember when the Grand Poohba ordered his Cabinent members to shave a collective 100 million (a drop in the bucket) in administrative costs within the next 90 days?

....well....it's 90 days later and nary a peep....

If O-blah-ma can't get timely cost cutting results in the measly 100 million range.....how do you expect him to do so in the billions range.....especially regarding health care?

Obama challenges Cabinet to cut $100 million in expenses
April 20, 2009

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Obama on Monday gathered together every confirmed member of his Cabinet for the first time as president and challenged them to cut $100 million in the next 90 days.

Agencies will have to report how they saved on expenses at the end of the period.

The federal government has "a confidence gap when it comes to the American people," Obama said at the White House.

"We've got to earn their trust. They've got to feel confident that their dollars are being spent wisely."

The edict is part of Obama's "commitment to go line by line through the budget to cut spending" and "reform the government," a senior administration official said.

You're kidding, right? Do you honestly believe Mr. Obama has a clue as to what he's doing? That change he speaks of will be here in about 3 1/2 more years... Hope we can hold out that long.
