TAPPER: On April 20th -- I know you remember when the president said that he'd asked all the Cabinet secretaries to identify at least $100 million in additional cuts to their administrative budgets, separate and apart from the work Orszag and the rest of the team did. And they were required to report back with their savings at the end of 90 days. So that was 91 days ago, and I'm wondering if you guys have any list of the spending cuts.
GIBBS: The -- those are being reviewed now, and we'll release something in the coming days.
TAPPER: OK, thank you.

Tapper should ask this question at EVERY briefing till
he gets an answer.
Betcha Tapp is taking a lot of crap from his friends at dinner parties...
Tapper was equally tough on W. He seems to be the only real journalist in DC without either a left or a right agenda.
I have respect for how the guy does his job. He’s the only reporter in DC I can say that about.
I wonder how long it will be before he’s smeared/discredited by the White House?
What Gibbs was REALLY thinking...”You mean, you actually believed we were going to do that?”
GIBBS: The — those are being reviewed now, and we’ll release something in the coming days.
Indeed.
They will release the standard load of non-answer horse shit that alwayys comes out of this White House..
Tapper: 91 days have elapsed, where are the cuts? (paraphrasing)
Gibbs: We are deeply concerned, outraged, and are devoting our full attention....what was the question again?
WOW!!! That's what I call tenacious reporting. That Tapper, once he sinks his teeth into a story he just won't let go! He is a bulldog when it comes to getting the facts. I am soooooooooooooo impressed.
