This from back in March:
Obama: Shovel-ready jobs already on move
WASHINGTON, March 3 (UPI) -- Shovels already are hitting the ground in
just the two weeks since the $787 billion stimulus package was signed,
U.S. President
Barack Obama said Tuesday.
"I can say that 14 days after I signed our Recovery Act into law, we are seeing shovels hit the ground."

Now this is what President Obama said to Katie Couric on Tuessday, July 21st:
Katie Couric: But what's taking so long? Only about
$60 billion of the nearly $500 billion of stimulus money has been
dispersed. And a lot of people are saying, "What's taking so long?"
President Obama: The money that's taken a while to get out is actually the money for
infrastructure projects, but that's always the case. Because you can't
start building a road or a bridge without making sure that the studies
have been done. The engineering reports are there. And we don't want to
waste this money.
