By taking aim at Cantor, the White House hopes to make an example of Republicans who they say are trying to take both sides on the stimulus issue. Although Cantor has been outspoken in his criticism of the stimulus bill as wasteful and not effective, he recently joined his congressional colleagues in urging Virginia's transportation department to apply for stimulus money for high-speed rail, a pet project of his.
