WASHINGTON

President Barack Obama says the $787 billion economic package will help struggling cities, but both Washington and the mayors have a responsibility to spend the money wisely.
     
Obama met with the nation's mayors and was addressing the group in a White House gathering.
     
In prepared remarks, Obama said his administration has asked for "the unprecedented trust" of all Americans to deal boldly with the woeful economy. With that trust, he said, comes an obligation to do it wisely, free from politics and personal agendas.
     
He said that on this he will not compromise or tolerate any shortcut.
     
This week, Obama signed the economic stimulus package into law.
