AP:
"Cut A Latte Or Two Out Of Your Annual Budget And You've Just Done As Much Belt-Tightening As President Barack Obama Asked Of His Cabinet On Monday. The thrifty measures Obama ordered for federal agencies are the equivalent of asking a family that spends $60,000 in a year to save $6.

Obama made his push for frugality the subject of his first Cabinet meeting, ensuring it would command the capital's attention.

It also set off outbursts of mental math and scribbled calculations as political friend and foe tried to figure out its impact. The bottom line: Not much." ("Spin Meter: Saving Federal Money The Easy Way," AP, 4/20/09)"

  Too all the kooks below, why don't you spend time focusing on what Klarrissa is saying instead of immediately becoming defensive over King Obama. Stop sucking on Obamas Ballls and grow some of your own so we can get this country back..
  
  100 million breaks down to 1/36000 of our national debt. Good Job Obama. Your our savior
