Well, it’s a close race with Nancy Pelosi, but Joe Biden is pulling ahead:
Is it time to start a grassroots movement to keep this guy on the ticket in 2012, or what? I would donate post-haste. The man speaks the truth and he adds that the Obama administration’s ability to make spending transparent will determine their credibility on this issue. The good news is they’ve got serious plans for recovery.gov. The bad news is the administration transparency guru has estimated that that site will probably be in its final form around about the same time that Biden is declaring that he simply must spend some more time with his family, on the train, at made-up down-home eateries in Wilmington, or whatever it is Biden will leave the administration to do.
If you want actual transparency, check in with the private company that runs recovery.org, which actually catalogs stimulus spending in real time. By the time recovery.gov has anything usable on it (target date: October), the government will have already spent billions with no accountability. And the best news is, you didn’t have to pay $84 million for recovery.org. Now, that’s credibility I can believe in. Update: Someone e-mails to remind me of Barack Obama’s words upon putting Biden in charge of oversight:
scams
