Obama "can't wait" to tackle fraud, abuse

   Well, apparently he can wait to cut fraud and abuse, since he hasn't done it in the three years he's been in office. He's really good at cutting, we know, because he helped with cutting the spending this year, according to Boehner and the House Republicans, right?
  Oh, wait. No.
  From U.S. News-Republic, we learn that Obama is "pounding away" because he's such a hard worker. 

Pounding away with executive actions, the White House is laying out new steps to cut fraud in Medicare and Medicaid, keeping up its campaign of acting without Congress as President Barack Obama tends to diplomacy — and relaxation — far from Washington.
Many of the moves that support Obama's "we can't wait" mantra are modest and bureaucratic, including the newest measures being announced Tuesday, but are nevertheless intended to show a president in action while he largely faces gridlock over jobs with Republicans in Congress.
Obama, vying for re-election, contends voters are sick of Washington dysfunction and he must act on his own.

  Oh, yeah, he's golfing, too, it says in the rest of the article. Mentions. 
  Voters sick of dysfunction?
  You bet. 
  But the idea that he has any motivation to cut anything at all is absurd. Absolutely absurd. 
  Remember when they promised those cuts in the spring? Not so much.

In the spring fight to avert a government shutdown, Republicans promised $100 billion in real cuts but then compromised for $38.5 billion in future savings. In reality, the Congressional Budget Office found the deal still resulted in an increase of more than $170 billion in federal spending from 2010 to 2011. The “largest spending cut in history” ended up being a spending increase.

  In addition, we're still not cutting, DeMint says:

Even though the federal government is nearly $15 trillion in debt, it’s spending at record-high levels. Federal spending has gone up 5 percent in the first nine months of this year alone.Just last week, Democrats and Republicans in the Senate passed three new spending bills to increase 2012 funding above 2011 funding levels.  

  60 Minutes researched this and finds that SIXTY BILLION dollars are pilfered very year:

  So we're not holding our breath waiting for this ferreting out of fraud and abuse by one of the biggest abusers of taxpayers in American history.
  Perhaps we just need to get our "palates adjusted" to the new poverty.
