We're Still Waiting, Mr President

Remember Obama’s Promise to Cut $100 Million in 90 Days? - Washington Wire - WSJ: "Three months ago, when President Barack Obama announced he was extracting $100 million in spending cuts from his cabinet secretaries, the reviews were not terribly kind, not with a budget well in excess of $3 trillion and a budget deficit shooting toward $1.8 trillion.

But the president had a deadline to keep: “As part of his commitment to go line by line through the budget to cut spending and reform government he will challenge his cabinet to cut a collective 100 million dollars in the next 90 days,” the White House fact sheet proclaimed."

They couldn't bring themselves to cut even this laughable amount out of the budget in 90 days, as promised. Another promise broken.
