Megan McArdle is upset

Megan McArdle: I was tentatively in favor of the jobs plan that Obama proposed last week.  But that's before I realized that he has no intention of getting it passed.

That's because it's all political theater.

... I really wish that Obama hadn't wasted my Thursday evening, and that of 31 million other Americans, listening to a jobs plan that was only designed to produce one job--a second term for Barack Obama.  I mean, I don't blame him, exactly.  But I get a little pang when I realize that I could just as well have spent that time bleaching the grout in the master bath.
