Obama Touted Website is Lame

In his remarks earlier this morning about his stimulus plan, Obama touted Recovery.gov as a website where Americans “will be able to see how and where we spend taxpayer dollars.” Actually the site is empty pending the passage of the bill. Basically, it’s a placeholder for after the bill is passed. Shouldn’t there be something in there about the competing proposals? The options? Etc. It seems kind of lame for such a techno-savvy White House. Besides after the bill is passed how quickly are they really going to be able to update how Topeka spends it’s sewer money?
