Today at a roundtable in New York City, Vice President Biden admitted that some stimulus money is being wasted.

"There are going to be mistakes made," said Biden, referred to as "The Sheriff" at the White House. "Some people are being scammed already."

The remarks, reported by Reuters, were not included in a transcript provided by the White House. Transcripts of all of the president's public statements are sent to reporters, but the Vice President's office only sent Biden's opening remarks at the event.

He did spend considerable time on the positive impact of the stimulus plan, however, noting that 14,000 teachers in New York City were still employed because of Recovery Act Dollars. "It's a big deal," he said.

In other Biden news, the veep spoke at a fundraiser for the DNC in New York last night. According to a pool report, Biden had great praise for embattled Gov. David Paterson, calling him the "once and future" governor of New York. Today, Robert Gibbs was asked if the statement constituted an endorsement, or if he was "freelancing."

"I have not seen the remarks, but let me go see if I can find that, and see what the context is," Gibbs said.
