OBAMA PUTS BIDEN IN CHARGE OF STIMULUS FUNDS
NY Post - By CLEMENTE LISI - February 23, 2009
The gaffe-prone Joe Biden will now be handling more of your money.
President Obama said his vice president would oversee the implementation of the $787 billion economic stimulus package.
Obama made the announcement today before the National Governors Association in Washington, saying Biden will not only ensure that the cash is distributed, but make sure it is "also efficient and effective."
"The fact that I'm asking my vice president to personally lead this effort shows how important it is for our country and future to get this right," Obama said.
In his new role as stimulus czar, Biden, 66, would meet regularly with congressional lawmakers, governors and mayors to make certain their efforts in reviving the economy are both effective and swift.
The often-blunt Biden is famous for giving his opinion and being vice president has not stopped him. (continues...)

Well, he needs to keep V.P. Biden busy! He certainly doesn't want him running around the White House with nothing to do.
