White House Report on Top 100 stimulus projects
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/abc-news-exclusive-white-house-touts-stimulating-success/story?id=11656662
<snip.
Even before the first shovel went into the ground on a project funded by the Obama administration's $814 billion stimulus plan, the program was under attack from Republicans who have called it a waste of taxpayer money. But now the White House is fighting back.

A new report obtained exclusively by ABC News outlines the administration's top 100 stimulus projects -- a greatest hits compilation of what the White House considers the best examples of the stimulus in action.

"Republicans have often criticized the Recovery Act without recognizing projects specifically like the ones in this report," White House economist Jared Bernstein said in an interview with ABC News. "If you look at these projects, these are the ones that help plant the seeds for significant job opportunities for the middle class moving forward."

1. The Repubicans voted against the stimulus, criticized it at every opportunity, but
now they are taking credit for some of these projects in their states. They have absolutely no shame.
