"It is my obligation as a member of Congress to ensure stimulus dollars are spent on the most worthy projects," Bachmann said in a statement.

Bingo.

There are three ideas that sum up the Tea Party movement over all.

1. We are taxed too much
2. Our tax money is spent unwisely
3. Our lawmakers do not listen to us

Michelle Bachmann voted against spending this money (1. We are taxed too much), but when the money was spent, she wanted it spent wisely (2. Our tax money is spent unwisely). When asked about it, she responded with an honest answer and didn't try to deny that she sent the requests in (3. Our lawmakers do not listen to us).
