Ken’s Take:
After signing a near trillion dollar pork-laden, spending plan, President O warms mayors and governors that American taxpayers “expect to see the money that they’ve earned — they’ve worked so hard to earn — spent in its intended purposes without waste”.
That’s a non sequitur since most of the Obam-dictated “intended purposes” are wasteful and non-stimulative to start.
Do people really buy thiese contradictions and mumbo jumbo?

Excerpted from yahoo.com, “Obama warns mayors not to waste stimulus money”, Feb 20, 2009
President Barack Obama warned the nation’s mayors on Friday that he will “call them out” if they waste the money from his massive economic stimulus plan.
“The American people are watching,” Obama told a gathering of mayors at the White House. “They need this plan to work. They expect to see the money that they’ve earned — they’ve worked so hard to earn — spent in its intended purposes without waste, without inefficiency, without fraud.”
Using his presidential pulpit, Obama demanded accountability, from his friends in local government as well as his own agencies. He said the new legislation gives him tools to “watch the taxpayers’ money with more rigor and transparency than ever,” and that he will use them.
“If a federal agency proposes a project that will waste that money, I will not hesitate to call them out on it, and put a stop to it,” he said. “I want everyone here to be on notice that if a local government does the same, I will call them out on it, and use the full power of my office and our administration to stop it.”
The president did not specify how, exactly, he would call out one of his own agencies or a local government about wasteful projects.
