Even as President Barack Obama told the nation's mayors they now have a friend in the White House, he warned that he would use the "full power" of the presidency to expose and crack down on them if they misuse the economic stimulus dollars meant to boost the economy out of its doldrums.
Obama cautioned the mayors todqy that the American people had placed their trust in their political leaders to spend the $787 billion wisely and that such trust would be squandered if mayors and other officials wound up wasting the money on dubious projects.
"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," Obama told mayors who gathered in the White House. "And I want everybody 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."

How many states are passing those 10th Amendment resoultions now? 20? It’ll be up to 40 by the end of the year.
Except Chicago. ‘Bama won’t say boo about what his cronies in Chicago do with the money and you can bet on that.
Keep making state level politicians mad, BO.
And pretty soon they’ll all be passing 10th Amendment FUBO resolutions.
“Just heard on local news that Phoenix’s mayor is excited about getting $$ to expand the “light rail” system.”

Excited probably because he can name one of the lines after himself.
After all, what could possibly be more important?
I post ridicule in your general direction...
I'm really trying to resist the urge to Godwin this thread with the obvious comparison to another world leader.
/sigh
There are a number of mental health experts committing on this. One example is:

The mere fact that he has never released his medical records...as almost all of the presidential candidates have done over the past twenty-five years....and the media never questioned that...would make most folks laugh. The question here...if you discovered he was on drugs....for serious mental health reasons....would the public demand he resign? My guess is that 50 percent could not bring themselves to demand that.
You have been publicly ridiculed. Glad to be of service!
I guess he means projects like that planetarium projector Bambi got funds for, or the Bridge to Nowhere project he and Biden voted to keep.
Oh, come on - cannot you see the amazing boost to the economy that spending $30,000,000 saving Nancy Pelosi’s swamp mice will provide?

Can we thank the Democrat party for giving us two emotionally screwed up POTUSes in a row ?
To keep the majority of people from catching on to him, Obama is counting on the Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

This was supposed to "create" jobs but all it does is give money to special interest groups to get the numb skulls re-elected.
Regardless of that, you can depend on him getting to the bottom of what happened to the strawberries. He will prove his case with geometric logic. </obscure "Caine Mutiny" movie reference>
