| #2 Phew, good thing he's serious about containing expenses. Too bad he didn't start yesterday with his 175 Million masturbatory lovefest, 4 times larger than the 2004 bash. We are a nation of idiots, and deserve what is coming... |

| #1 Aides making above $100,00 include the high-profile jobs of White House chief of staff, national security adviser and press secretary. Other aides who work in relative anonymity also fit into that cap, if Obama follows a structure similar to the one George W. Bush set up. Slick is back. It doesn't cap, it only freezes, and instead of reporting clearly that it was a carry over of the Bush administration, it allows the worshiping MSM to show the One has assuaged the masses with a display of 'thrift' in these times. |
