Obama Threatens Mayors: "I will call you out"

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."

I’m not a psychologist, but I agree with your friend.

“True enough but the scary part is that guys like him usually take everyone else down with them.”

But hey, the upside is that Joe Biden will take over. Umm...wait -

[JenB987]

Stand up Joe!

"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,"

There is no such project, unless you're a Republican.

I've heard that same thing. I don't think you even have to be a psychiatrist or psychologist to see that.

I can take just about anything. The stupid policy, the empty rhetoric, the fact that these morons are going to ruin the country... I take all that in stride.

But when Barack Obama tries to be “street”, I feel the bile rising in my throat.

"A friend who is a psychologist tells me he believes Obama is clinically insane. Oh, joy."

This administration seems to be hell bent on testing every Amendment to the Constitution. I'm glad to see the 25th isn't being left out.

Guess we'll see how removing an incapacitated President works out at some point. Oh wait ... they're ALL insane up there.

Well, BO, you can start by investigating Daley, the crime boss of your old hometown.

Yeah, Like that would happen...The Blammer wouldn’t be there if King Richard didn’t approve and besides the campaign still owes us (Chgo Taxpayers) 1.7m for the Coronation in Grant Park. Everything here is a shell game.

Um, I think The Marxist Onada is telling the mayors that their local ACORN gangs need to be fed before all else. Reason: He’s setting up his block warden network through ACORN.

Was he winking and nodding at Chicago’s Mayor Daley when he said it?

Captain Obama: "Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers..."

Will he give props too?
