President Obama has turned to his own vice president to oversee implementation of the $787 billion economic stimulus package, part of which will be available this week for state Medicaid programs.
Obama announced his decision before the National Governors Association in Washington on Monday, saying Vice President Joe Biden will help ensure the distribution of the money is not just swift, “but 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,” he said.
Biden, in his new role, would meet regularly with key members of the Cabinet, governors and mayor to make sure their efforts are speedy and effective. He is expected to make regular reports to the president that will be posted online at www.recovery.gov.
With Biden at the helm, $15 billion from the recovery package will be freed up Wednesday for the health care programs, Obama said.
The administration projects the money will help states struggling with budget deficits and maintain Medicaid coverage for 20 million recipients.
Responding to some criticism of unemployment assistance in the stimulus from GOP governors, Obama also urged governors and lawmakers not to lose perspective on the package. He said the subject of debate composes just a “fraction” of the overall plan.
Obama also appointed Earl Devaney, the inspector general at the Interior department, to serve as watchdog for the distribution of the funding.

Perfect, just perfect. This way when the stimulus fails to work as promised, Obama has his out, blame it on his VPs ineffectual implementation, which give him the out of asking Joey boy to step aside, and then he gets to appoint another VP, and get someone even better suited to help him in 2010 and 2012…
Play the race card, blame it on a white guy, not doing what the black guy said, if we would listen to the black guy more, we would all be just fine…
Yeah… cuz Joe is not only “swift, but also efficient and effective” himself.
Hey didn’t he get put in charge of rescuing the ‘middle class’ too?
So much to look forward to with the dumbfounded Dhimmis…
yeah i think Obama has appointed a Czar for everything so he can always have plenty of degrees of seperation between himself and the problem. it wasnt me, it was (fill in the name here) fault.
O’Biden, the walking Gaff machine is not long for the political world. I think he has embarassed the Messiah one to many times. Look for Bidens ‘political’ blood in the water on a local cable channel, near you.
