Maybe Obama should put YOU to work filling the potholes in exchange
for your monthly "disability" check. Even a morbidly-obese retard
like you could do the job, all you have to to is stand around in a
bright orange vest scratching your butt while the rest of the crew
shovels $100 bills into a hole.

Maybe you should ask the state of Alabama. Federal money was
channeled through the states who were responsible for spending it.

More than likely, Alabama spent the money on a Ten Commandments
monument for the capitol building in Montgomery. Or for improvements
on a football stadium.

You can through all the money you want at it but potholes in roads
appear all the time simply due to the daily wear and tear. States
with plenty of highway money that have exellent maintenance records
still may take several days to schedule a repair crew to any road
repair location.
Out of over 120,000 accidents on Alabama highways last year only 33
are reported as being on roads with ruts, potholes and other needed
repair. None of those 33 resulted in serious injury or fatality.
If it were a chronic problem there would be a lot more folks filing
lawsuits and a lot more similar accidents being reported.
And the people of Alabama would be the ones raising more hell than
anyone else as opposed to political sycophants that want to believe
that anything less than perfection is completely worthless or corrupt
and should be made issue of.

Potholes appear on roads that are not properly maintained.

Maintaining the infrastructure costs money.

Taxes are too low to maintain Alabama's roads.

Safe roads are not free.

Obama has NOTHING to do with road maintenance.

See the governor of Alabama... states rights, you know.

More likely state incompetence.
