Thread: Obama "Jobs" Wish Lacks Substance or Conviction

Here's a key sentence from the article:

"Mr. Obama said he also will extend the call for ideas to academia and both political parties. "

Exactly. Obama will never, ever ask the people whose opinions matter the most: the people who are out of work, because he knows EXACTLY, what they will say. So he will go again, and again to those same elites who recommended offshoring and temporary foreign workers to begin with. My guess is that his first stop in "academia" will be to foreign born professors who will tell Obama that only "immigrants" can generate jobs for Americans and that Americans are "uneducated" so they are a complete loss. Of course, when Obama goes to 'both political parties' it will be to ask Clinton and Reid and McCain and the whole hoary bunch who will tell him that importing more immigrants will magically "revive the economy".

Don't be surprised if Henry Paulson shows up to ask for a check for 700 billion dollars to put Americans back to work...

Obama uncertain about future jobs

President Obama on Monday said his administration has saved the U.S. economy from collapse, but he was less certain about where to go next.

"If somebody can show me a strategy that's going to work, then we are happy to consider it," the president said before a White House meeting with the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

Despite the economy's showing clear signs of improvement, Mr. Obama has acknowledged for months that no recovery would be complete until he finds jobs for the roughly 15 million Americans still out of work.

Many of the president's comments Monday seemed more like questions than answers. "How do we get what I call a post-bubble growth model, one that is sustainable?" and "Having brought the economy back from the brink, the question is how are we going to make sure that people are getting back to work and able to support their families."

Among the most recent signs of recovery was the report last week that the gross domestic product grew at a pace of 3.5 percent in the third quarter, after declining for four straight quarters.

The president pointed out the economy is no longer losing 700,000 jobs a month, as it did in January. But the unemployment rate stands at 9.8 percent, with Mr. Obama and most analysts expecting higher numbers starting Friday when the Labor Department releases its November figure.

"We anticipate that we're going to continue to see some job losses in the weeks and months to come," Mr. Obama said.

The president said he would like the economy to return to one of high-paying jobs in manufacturing and exportation, not the debt-driven ones that caused the 22-month-long recession.

He will use the advice of the 16-member board -- a mix of corporate leaders and government and ex-government officials, including Pritzker Realty Group Chairwoman Penny Pritzker; Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner; and Paul Volker, former Federal Reserve chairman and the group's leader.

"The reason we're here today is because we just are not where we need to be yet," the president said. "We've got a long way to go."

Mr. Obama said he also will extend the call for ideas to academia and both political parties. The group has met twice and will continue to meet over the next several weeks and months.

The number one ad every time I pull up my email on Comcast is "Obama wants Moms to go back to school! Financial aid available!"

Now, who is going to pay for that education for working Moms?

Oh, btw...it's also on Yahoo email and I'm sure elsewhere.

WHO is paying for these ads? Obama personally or the taxpayers?

They certainly aren't "free".

The president said he would like the economy to return to one of high-paying jobs in manufacturing and exportation, not the debt-driven ones that caused the 22-month-long recession.

All Obama needs to do is talk to Ron Paul, but you know he won't ever do that.

All the solutions are simple. For example, why didn't they take some of the stimulus money and build factories that put Americans back to work? Just do it, don't come up with excuses to not do it, just do it. But no, our current dictator just simply won't.

"The reason we're here today is because we just are not where we need to be yet," the president said. "We've got a long way to go."

Wow. That college education is sure working out for him.

With him as the [ahem... obviously educated] dictator, we have a long way to go indeed.

Does anyone know if he read that line from a tele-prompter?

We don't know if Obama has an education or not ,since it's like he just fell from the sky with no legal documentaion or transcripts to prove any different .

Googe this ! " Obama Seeks More Muslems for White House Post " .
