Frank Rich: They Sure Showed That Obama

Frank Rich throws a little positivity Obama's way in today's op-ed after what's felt like weeks of bad news. My favorite passage references Michael Steele's outrageous claim about the myth of "government jobs."

Steele’s argument against the stimulus package is that “in the history of mankind” no “federal, state or local” government has ever “created one job.” As it happens, among the millions of jobs created by the government are the federal investigators now pursuing Steele for alleged financial improprieties in his failed 2006 Senate campaign.
