The LAT's Peter Nicholas lauds White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel in today's newspaper saying Emanuel "steered passage of two major packages: a stimulus bill that experts say prevented a sour economy from getting even worse, and a healthcare overhaul that will provide coverage for 30 million more Americans over the next decade." Nicholas doesn't name the experts he's relying on nor does he acknowledge the possibility that what he claims about Obamacare may not be true.
Instead of lauding Emanuel for steering these two packages, it would make more sense to blame him. The American people seem to think these two packages are not so hot. In fact, they seem to think the Obama administration forced these packages on them against their collective will. They seem to hold the Obama administration and Congressional Democrats responsible and plan to make them pay. We'll see in November.
