I don't think Obama was being disingenuous here. Obviously, the ![$ \$[/dollar]$](//latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/5/6/b568fa9285ffa9b8ece362db5699fd4075257979.png)
100 million was a symbolic gesture, and he acknowledged that. The cuts were only to administrative sections of the budget such as office supplies; the programmatic cuts are an entirely different issue.

Q A hundred million dollars, isn't that a drop in the bucket, sir?
THE PRESIDENT: It is, and that's what I just said. None of these things alone are going to make a difference. But cumulatively they would make an extraordinary difference because they start setting a tone. And so what we're going to do is line by line, page by page,100 million there, 100 million here, pretty soon, even in Washington, it adds up to real money. All right, thank you, guys.
