The administration says Congress accepted at least $6.9 billion of the $11.3 billion in discretionary spending cuts Mr. Obama proposed for the current fiscal year. An analysis by The Washington Times found that Mr. Obama was victorious in getting Congress to slash 24 programs and achieved some level of success in reducing nine other programs.The Raptor was an economic boon to Georgia, but when the Pentagon doesn't want the plane, it's time to end the project. I'll be taking bets on if the conventional wisdom ever acknowledges this little factoid (and indeed, I don't even know if it matters, considering how much new spending was proposed.)
Among the president's victories are canceling the multibillion-dollar F-22 Raptor program, ending the LORAN-C radio-based ship navigation system and culling a series of low-dollar education grants. In each of those cases, Mr. Obama succeeded in eliminating programs that Mr. Bush repeatedly failed to end.
