Obama Bemoans Desperation Of People Out Of Work
 (12-03) 11:01 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --

President Barack Obama says chronic unemployment isn't merely academic and is "a struggle that cuts deep and touches people across the nation."

Seeking to set a can-do tone for a jobs forum he hosted at the White House, Obama claimed progress toward an economic recovery while saying much more work needs to be done.

Obama said the leading question of the day is "how do we get businesses to start hiring again."

5. His forum today was a joke and an insult to the unemployed.

3. Bingo, as much as I am loathed to admit it a quote from Reagan comes to mind
 "The best welfare program is a decent paying job." 

Rush talked about this on his show today.  Idiot POTUS, Chance Gardner, doesn't need this big hoo-ra to figure out why nobody's hiring.  As a businessman, would you?  Nobody knows where these insane loons on the left are going to drag us before we can wrest ourselves.  No rational person invests even in an additional employee in such an uncertain environment.  You can see it even in my little dinky business.  Rather than hire, I took on the job myself.  Long-ass hours, but oh well. 

I really went over there to see if anybody was talking about the news from New York.  The state legislature voted thumbs-down on marriage for teh gheys.

Not yet anyways. It's going in his file and eventually the DU NKVD will be knocking on his door.

Boortz's take:

OBAMA'S JOBS SUMMIT? IT'S A JOKE

PrezBO is having his big White House jobs summit today. Let's take a look at the general guest list:

    * Small business owners -- Not invited.
    * U.S. Chamber of Commerce -- Not invited.
    * Andy Stern, President of the Service Employees International Union -- Invited.
    * National Federation of Independent Businesses - Not invited.
    * United Steel Workers union president -- Invited
    * Teacher's union president -- Invited
    * Anna Burger, SEIU .. invited.
    * Big Obama Donors. Invited.
    * Opponents of Obama's stimulus spending. Not invited

WTF? Small business owners account for 80% of all private sector jobs in our economy, and 70% of all jobs now being created (or is it the other way around?) and they're not playing a huge role in this phony summit? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, one of the biggest proponents and supporters of free enterprise in this nation ... not invited?

There is a problem. Businesses just aren't creating jobs as they have in previous recoveries. And why would that be? Perhaps that's because in previous economic recoveries the very businesses we rely on for new jobs weren't being threatened with huge tax increases. Can someone please tell me what sane small businessman is going to go on an expansion spree at a time when the political party in power is talking tax increases that could increase that businessman's federal tax burden by as much as 15 percentage points?

The goal here is to present to the government-educated dumb masses the idea the Obama is actually engaged in the business of creating more jobs. Truth is, the only business Obama is engaged in is that of increasing the size and power of government. Remember, our community organizer President has referred to the private sector as "the enemy." The enemy has no seat at his jobs summit.

Bottom line? It's all for show. This is a MoveOn.org, ACORN, union and government jobs fest .. nothing more. The people, however, will easily be fooled.

I'm sure Andy Stern's answer is bigger unions!

Anyone else think this looks like the "groups" you formed back in highscrool? Gimme a break, this guy has the mentality of a 7th grader! What a way to run the most successful democracy the planet has ever seen!
