Told told about the most inept President in US History.
The great “stimulus” heist: Obama seems to think nobody will remember he grabbed almost a trillion dollars for “stimulus” spending, created virtually zero private-sector jobs with it, allowed a great deal of the money to vanish into thin air, and spent the rest of his presidency complaining that he needed hundreds of billions more to repair roads and bridges.

Vast sums of taxpayer money were wasted on foolish projects that came close to the Keynesian economic satire of hiring some people to dig holes, and others to fill them in.

Here in Charlotte, money was given to a company that made hybrid city buses. Obama came to town for many photo ops with owners and a few workers. This company later went bankrupt and out of business. Oh, and this company's former lawyer is now Obama's Secretary of Transportation.

Each state was responsible for how they spend the stimulus money that was given to them, don't like how it was spent in North Carolina, then blame the politicians in North Carolina for squandering the money.

Wrong. I guess you weren't paying attention when the stimulus money was being handed out....either that or you can't bring yourself to blame the very Republicans you elected in your state that has screwed it up so badly.

North Carolina did not have a say in that money going to Design Line. If you can prove otherwise, then please do so.

Furthermore please read the link in the OP. It's obvious that you did not do so.

Feel free to prove that they did not have a say in where that money went....I would love to see your source for that claim. I do know that my state received stimulus money as well and spent it on important projects for the state. Shame your state wasn't capable of doing the same.

Oh and I did read the link, it was entertaining like all the other right wing biased stuff you like to post.

It's your assertion. Since you can't prove it, then it's false.

More about Design Line which Obama touted as an example of how his stimulus was good for America.

Without question the worst scandal for Obama was the Hillary espionage coverup.

Obama's Department of Justice was nothing short of atrocious, and will go down in history as the most corrupt.
