House Republicans are setting up “a stimulus-watch program” that will allow watchdog groups and private citizens to report findings as contractors and agencies start spending billions of dollars on roads, schools, renewable energy projects and other initiatives, said House GOP Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia.

“We’ll be taking a look in detail” and “really providing accountability and transparency,” Cantor said in an interview Wednesday.

There’s a certain symmetry to this.
Impeach Obama – we trashed the place and he didn’t hold up his end.
