President Obama got a few flattering headlines from the impressive thrift the White House staff was showing in cutting, oh my gosh, $100 million in spending. That does sound like a pretty big number.

And Obama has shown remarkable thrift in deciding to fly his pizza chef in from St. Louis instead of he west coast, thus saving the taxpayers the extra air fare. This is the kind of thoughtful husbandry of taxpayer money that public officials everywhere can use as an example.

Well, I guess they do already, don’t they.
