U.S. President Barack Obama plans to ask Congress for more power to shrink the federal government, a White House official said Friday.
Obama plans to speak at 11:20 a.m. about his plans to make the federal government "leaner, smarter and more consumer-friendly," the official said.
The president's proposal includes plans to combine several agencies that focus on commerce and trade.

I guess it's been forgotten which president it was who started these two unfunded wars at the cost of trillions of dollars. Plus the tax breaks and subsidies and on and on and on.

And then there was katrina and rita both of them storms was bushs fault.Guess he shouldve huffed and puffed and blew them out to sea.But if he did that you find fault.
