A Jobs Summit??? Yeah That’s the Trick
President Obama’s announcement that he’s holding a jobs summit at the White House in December is a really stupid idea on a variety of levels. First, it’s admitting that the irresponsible and expensive stimulus bill is a failure. Second, it highlights the fact that unemployment during the OBama administration has grown dramatically.
Thirdly, it gives people another opportunity to question this administration’s and this Congress’s competence. That isn’t good because the public already thinks that Republicans would do a better job with the economy than Democrats by a wide margin.
This should be a red flag that this summit won’t produce anything that’ll help spur job creation:
The forum, which will gather business executives, economists, financial experts and union leaders, will be aimed at examining initiatives to accelerate job creation, Obama said.
What do unions and non-profits know about creating jobs?
I mean, seriously. If President Obama is serious about creating jobs, why doesn’t he stop the health care bill in its tracks? The plethora of tax increases on small businesses are job-killers. He could also tell Democrats that Cap-And-Trade is a nonstarter, too, because it’s a job-killing tax increase that will hurt businesses and families alike.
President Obama’s job summit is a photo op to show people he cares about creating jobs. I don’t care whether he makes another speech about the importance of creating jobs. My sole criteria is whether his administration and the Democrats in Congress actually DO SOMETHING that starts creating jobs.
Mr. President, Caring means nothing with us. We The People demand results. If you aren’t part of the solution, we’ll consider you to be part of the ongoing problem. The time for speechifying is over. It’s time for positive results.

For crying out loud, Gary, it isn’t jobs that the admin wants to create, it’s UNION JOBS! And he can’t do that until the private sector has been completely and utterly destroyed.
Simple plan, simple solution.
But it’s the job of every citizen to fight this interloper’s plan tooth and nail until we get our full private sector back, including the auto companies, the energy companies and the health industry, and get rid of useless, economy-dragging and anti-American slugs like ACORN, SEIU and the teachers unions.

Today we’re finding out that a lot of the “jobs created” are in non-existent, phantom districts (even in the Virgin Islands!), while many of the rest are so highly questionable their validity is almost non-existent, too, while still spending hundreds of millions of dollars.
And this from the “most transparent administration, evuh!”
