Day 32. Mr. Mayor, you are my scapegoat

From this article...

Using his presidential pulpit, Obama demanded accountability, from his friends in local government as well as his own agencies. 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.

"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," he said. "I want everyone 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."

The president has started to identify his scapegoats for when the trichinosis sets in from the raw pork deal being shoved down our throats.

Flash forward May, 2010. He'll say, "Nope. uh, it wasn't, uh me that wasted the, uh, taxpayers money. It was those, uh, mayors and other local officials that, uh, I have been, uh calling out these, uh past few months".
