Woohoo: Obama Won’t Decrease or Increase Discretionary Spending for Three Years
So it’s not actually cutting the budget. In fact, it’s not even a total freeze on the federal government’s budget. He’s just freezing discretionary spending for a period of three years.

Much worse than analysts expected. In fact, it’s the largest single-month drop of existing home sales in four decades.

Obama gives supporter $25 million no-bid contract
25. January 2010
Yes, I know what lefties will say: Giving no-bid contracts to your political supporters is nothing new in Washington. George Bush did it, too! Which is completely true. And entirely irrelevant.
