Gov. Charlie Crist (R., Fla.) said he has no regrets about backing the Democrats’ $787 billion stimulus bill, or about accepting funds therefrom:

Accepting stimulus money was the “responsible, right thing to do,” Crist told reporters at the White House on Monday.
“It puts people above politics,” Crist said, adding when asked about whether he had any regrets that he had “none whatsoever.”
“I don’t apologize for it at all,” Crist added. “It was the right thing to do. We needed the money.”

Asked what he thought about Marco Rubio’s criticism of his position on the stimulus, Crist said “It doesn’t matter. Not one iota. . . . He’s wrong, and I’m right.”
