Obama mentions broadband stimulus during Ohio visit
Washington Post
President Obama traveled to swing state Ohio Friday to showcase the stimulus measure he pushed through Congress 16 months ago -- a sign the administration is fretting over enduring criticism that the $787 billion package has failed to generate enough jobs.
Obama presided over the inauguration of a highway construction project in Columbus. The administration says it is the 10,000th road project to begin with stimulus money, one of many milestones it intends to mark throughout the summer and heading into the fall mid-term election season.
He promoted clean energy, broadband Internet, and other investments to encourage new areas of economic growth - "not the infrastructure that we inherited from our parents and our grandparents."
