So he’s admitting there’s no accountability in this?

And he’s admitting that there is going to be misuse of the money?

Yep....that he is! The article describes him as saying:

“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.”

Hmmmmmm....sounds pretty scary...especially when you consider that no one has READ THE STUPID BILL!!

He may have already been made king in that stupid stimulus bill...who would ever know?

LOL

I guess he’ll be writing a whole lot more of those “strongly worded letters”.

He’s going to “call them out”? This guy is a huckster. And his minions in the American media, the Fifth Column, are going to go along with this sideshow.

“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.”

Uhhhh, is this guy new in town or what?

Anyone who’s been paying any attention at all would “expect” the exact opposite to happen.

“President Barack Obama warned the nation’s mayors on Friday that he will “call them out”

What exactly is “call them out?” What an immature statement.
