White House finds sudden GOP support for stimulus $$ "amusing"
http://washingtonbureau.typepad.com/washington/2009/02/white-house-finds-sudden-gop-support-for-stimulus-amusing-.html

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said it's been "amusing this week to read the many press releases and Twitter comments on those that found the stimulus on C-SPAN during the vote something that they didn't necessarily think was a good idea, until it came time to break ground on projects in their home district."

(Like the 9 Florida Republicans who voted against the stim package but Thursday joined Florida Democrats in sending a letter asking the administration to make sure Florida gets all of its education dollars?)

Asked if indeed he was "talking about Republican lawmakers, specifically?" Gibbs replied, "Many of them, yes."

1. Taking credit for things they didn't do or even support
The GOP are hypocrites and think this is perfectly normal
