Obama slashes the budget to help reduce deficit

By $100 million. BWAHAHAHAHA - how draconian. So Obama's budget is $3.6 trillion. So this belt-tightening will take it down to $3.5999 trillion.

As usual with liberals, the nobility of the enterprise lies in the goal, not the effect:

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.

David Freddoso at National Review has a reader do the math:

[I]n a $3 trillion budget, a $100m spending cut is equivalent to a person who makes $50,000 a year declaring proudly that he will cut a whopping $1.67 from his expenses.

Remember, this is the President that promised net spending cuts.
