President Obama made a much hyped trip to Nevada to tout his “100 Days, 100 Projects” even though none of the projects are in the state.
From the Politico
President Barack Obama came to Nevada to tout the release of a new report on the $787 billion economic stimulus bill, “100 Days, 100 Projects.”
But none of them are in Nevada.
The 26-page “100 Days, 100 Projects” report mentions two announcements Obama made Wednesday about grants for alternative energy initiatives but doesn’t list any Nevada projects that got stimulus cash.
When asked about it, a White House aide pointed POLITICO to Recovery.gov and noted that there are “many” programs in Nevada that are receiving stimulus money. Some $868 million in stimulus money has been allocated to fund a few dozen programs in Nevada, the White House says.
But the overall sense in the state is that stimulus money is just beginning to trickle in and so its benefits so far aren’t all that tangible, according to news reports in the Las Vegas Sun.
The White House points to transportation projects in Reno and the southern part of the state, as well as other initiatives, such as $2.2 million for construction at the Reno airport and a health care center in the city.
“President Obama came to Nevada to deliver a speech highlighting the progress we’ve made in the first 100 days of the Recovery Act and the work that’s been done to build a new foundation for America’s economic recovery,” White House press assistant Nick Shapiro said in an e-mail.
Progress for the administration is slowly doling out the money for projects that are short term in nature and saddles future generations with debt that they will never be able to repay. No hope for this change.

If the reality means that Obama is not fully in sync with Harry Reid and his political perspectives on everything – so much the better. BUT, $868 million ain’t “nuthin’”, either!
