At the White House this morning, after a “summit” on stimulus spending, Obama gave a pep talk to governors that included a stern warning that state and local officials will be “called out” if funds are being “squandered.”
He also highlighted the fact that all their efforts would judged against the warnings of critics who are saying that government has doesn’t have role in this situation: “There are those who think we should be focusing exclusively on Wall street during this crisis and that we don’t have time to worry about infrastructure,” he said
He signed off in jaunty fashion though: “I’ll be seeing you at some ribbon cuttings.”
