[mocgator]

This won't shock anyone.... with a brain...

Obama doesn't care about jobs in the slightest... he want's more people/ looters/ voters on the Government dole.. that's what will keep him in power...

President Barack Obama's Jobs Council hit a notable milestone on Thursday: one year without an official meeting. The 26-member panel is also set to expire at the end of the month, unless Obama extends its tenure.

The group, formally known as the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, last convened on Jan. 17, 2012 for a White House session where it presented formal recommendations to Obama. It was the panel's fourth official meeting since it was created in early 2011.

Only council Obama is remotely interested in is the council that counts Food Stamp recipients. Those are future regime contributors.

[g8orbill]

The 47%ers prez is such a great leader

[gatorman_07732]

There are more pressing needs, like tearing up parts of the constitution he doesn't like

[rajinGator]

Obviously his goal is global and domestic "redistribution". 20% unemployment and a $40 trillion debt is just fine with him.

[G8trGr8t]

when they found out O didn't plan on implementing any of the ideas in the report, they probably gave up...see Simpson-Bowles...

seems to be a patttern here.....thanks for your contribution but i disagree....next...

now get me somebody that tells me what I want to hear next time

[JerseyGator01]

At least he's consistent. His foreign policy subcommittee didn't meet either when he was in the Senate.

[ncgatr1]

Does anybody know what is going on with the economic numbers? It seems there is a complete void of this with the media outlets.

[G8trGr8t]

Kudlow taking 0 to task for lack of putting any reccomendations into action right now. Dem apologists explaining why 0 should never agree with corporatists (members of job council)

Which numbers? The fake ones or the real ones?

Wait until all those college students that voted for him graduate in May. Good luck with that job search.

[g8orbill]

if they were stupid enough to vote for the ........ they will blame their inability to get a job on the pubs

[gator996]

Wow...entire thread of responses that are nothing but partisan bitch mode.

Anyone seen a jobs program coming out of either side of congress?

What is Boehner & McConnell not elected to be leaders also?
Aren't they supposed to be concerned about jobs also?

The republican party ran on that crap in the midterms....

...anyone see them do anything besides pass more abortion laws?
:laugh:

[gatorman_07732]

Earth to 996, the Dem's have the presidency and the senate and thereby control policy in Washington. Remember, elections have consequences.

Anyone in Congress can bring a bill forward...

My question is since the midterms what legislation has the GOP brought forward since it is what they ran on in 2010?


Not hard to see what the GOP is truly concerned with....

80: Number Of Anti-Abortion Laws Passed By The States In 2011 | Via the Guttmacher Institute: “In the first six months of 2011, states enacted 162 new provisions related to reproductive health and rights. Fully 49% of these new laws seek to restrict access to abortion services, a sharp increase from 2010, when 26% of new laws restricted abortion. The 80 abortion restrictions enacted this year are more than double the previous record of 34 abortion restrictions enacted in 2005—and more than triple the 23 enacted in 2010. All of these new provisions were enacted in just 19 states.”

Its partisan to ask all of our country's leaders to focus on jobs?

Tell me, what would you say about the jobs effort of the last Congress?

[g8orbill]

How about some semblance od leadership from your prez- I realize that is not something we can expect from your prez- but one can hope

[gator996]

bill
ALL of our leaders should be focused on jobs right?

So I can point to Obama's jobs bill....where's the GOP plan?

GOP senators block top Obama jobs initiative

Washington (CNN) -- Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked the No.1 item on the president's congressional "to-do-list," refusing to allow a vote on a bill that would give tax breaks for companies that "insource" jobs to the U.S. from overseas while eliminating tax deductions for companies that move jobs abroad.

The Bring Jobs Home Act would provide a 20% tax break for the costs of moving jobs back to the United States and would rescind business expense deductions available to companies that are associated with the cost of moving operations overseas.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, had warned Democrats before the vote that his party would want to amend the bill -- possibly with hot-button issues like repealing the health care reform law or extending the Bush-era tax cuts for all income levels.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, responded that those amendments were not germane to the bill and he would not allow votes on them.

Boy oh boy, same old tripe and excuses from you. Obama is doing a good enough job doing what he wants without congress. Just look at the EPA's war on the American people unleashing their mayhem. This country could not afford a democratic congress to dig us a deeper grave monetarily and to march us more quickly into a European state. If you want to be taken more seriously, stop using Think Progress rubbish.

[gator996]

The "rubbish" isn't an opinion piece...its just a data presentation for our purposes.

The GOP has been busy writing 100+ abortion laws since 2010...
How many jobs bills?

I presented the CNN article...so we know the GOP has fought job initiatives...

What have they put forward to spur job creation?

[gatorman_07732]

So 996, do we really need to get into the funding of Think Progress and the crazy Hungarian communist that is polluting our country with his filthy money? To think that posters like you and river continuously use their information is pretty sad.

[gator996]

So your contesting the point that the GOP hasn't spent its time since 2010 putting forward over 100 abortion bills nationwide but not one jobs bill?

How about the CNN link?

Are they a flawed entity too in your opinion?

What the hell did Paul Ryan do? What Think Progress does is acquire information and manipulate it around a warped political ideology

[gator996]

I don't understand what your writing here...

Paul Ryan?

I'm not putting that think progress article link here for anything other than the data shows how many abortion bills have been put forth.

So unless you're contesting that number the political objectives of Think Progress have nothing to do with this debate...

Which is why I said ...fine... don't like think progress how about the CNN story?

You want to debate dumb crap about Think Progress while the topic is about jobs...

Your all over the place. You asked me about republican jobs bill didn't you? The government does not create private sector jobs so a jobs bill has to come in the form of incentives to create the environment in which hiring can be robust. Just get past Think Progress and stop damaging yourself by using them as a source of information.
