WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan won't include money for politicians' pet projects and will include provisions aimed at ensuring his administration is open and accountable to taxpayers and Congress, a transition official said Tuesday.
As part of the package likely to cost as much as $775 billion, Obama plans to establish an oversight body to meet publicly and issue reports to Congress on how the money is being spent. The president-elect also plans to create a user-friendly Internet site to allow people to track the flow of dollars.

Where have we heard that before?
I promise you the most ethical administration in history..
You know what you can be open with first, Mr. Obama.
Gov. Palin's got a working model for him (Alaska).

They really do overshoot the runway with statements like this. Maybe they should scale it back to, “We’ll only have 2, maybe 3, bad scandals in the coming 4 years.”
Funny, every two-bit president in Latin America always promises the same thing. I find it odd that such hoopla is made of this by the MSM.
Bwaaa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!!!
Y’all know....this means just the OPPOSITE.....it’s become SOOOOO obvious. This will likely be one of the MOST CORRUPT administrations ever....what with the Chicago and Arkansas mafia’s running the show...
Start with your damned birth certificate!
The O’s idea of transparency is a locked vault. He is a liar. Lying is all he knows.
So I guess he is saying anything that happens before he takes the oath of office doesn’t count... LOL
Barry, you can start with a copy of your REAL birth-certificate!
I'm not holding my breath. Suffice it to say that, with a herd of recycled Clintonistas in his administration, I think we are about to be "treated" to a whole new version of "Depends on what the meaning of 'is' is".
new ap title for article below. accountability dropped from title, earmarks added.
Obama bans earmarks from big economic package
Didn’t x42 promise the same thing? Since most of Obama’s appointees seem to be warmed over Clintonites, I’ll expect similar ‘accountability’ in Obama’s administration.
Let me guess: Regular audits, strict accountability and serious consequences for any abuse.
Got it.
The difference between the Clinton admin and the 0bama admin will be that anyone who points out a scandal will be painted as a racist.
