President Obama to Convene Jobs Summit

THERE GOES OBAMA WITH HIS SPEACHES NO ACTIONS. ALL TALK EMPTY SUIT.

He should have done that 6 monthts ago. Alot of good it's going to do now. Here's a break through idea, extend unemployement benfits another 6 months.

With all due respect, the man is a moron. Pelosi and Reid are running this government, into the ground I should say and Obama is the figurehead they are using and abusing. How many of the swine flu fatalities had insurance? Have the members of the Senate and Congress had their swine flue shot?

oh my god, he's actually serious in believing that giving folks $11 more per week (the tax cut) and extending unemployment benefits are job-creation moves. This is worse than clueless.

You want to create jobs? Cut the corporate tax rate from its obscene rate of second-highest in the world. Leave the Bush tax cuts in place and, if anything, extend them. Many of those affected are small business owners who file the year's earnings on their personal returns. Small biz is where job creation happens but when the govt is busy conjuring ways of taking more of what you earn, kinda hard to find cash for new staff.

Secondly, stop any more ridiculous union-protecting tariff wars, like the one involving tires from China. The world craves entry into the US market; what bigger hammer do you need for crafting trade deals that benefit American manufacturers? "Trade" generally means giving something for something else of equal value.

Instead of substantive action, however, we're going to get what we always get - more talk, more activity disguised as action (as John Wooden used to say). In other words, a photo op, a few pundits scratching their chins and thinking deep thoughts on cable tv, supporters calling the summit a success and critics labeling it a failure, and we will move on to the next story. Didn't he have a summit early on about cutting the deficit? How did that work out --

I have no idea why he needs a job summit. Didn't he have an economic summit back in February and formulate how to save jobs just because they said so.

OBAMA HAS THE UNIONS LEADING THE SUMMIT BECAUSE THEY ARE HIS VOTES AND THEY ARE ALSO THE GREATEST DESTROYERS OF JOBS IN AMERICA--IF YOU WANT A JOB YOU GO TO A RIGHT TO WORK STATE-------------------

HOW ABOUT CONVENING A SUMMIT ON THROWING OBAMA AND REPROBATE ADM OUT OF OFFICE----JOBS WOULD INCREASE AND PROSPERITY WOULD RETURN

Up til the 1970s there were two columns in the tariff schedules; one for friendly nations the other for unfavored nations. Then Congress had a brain fart and introduced the middle column that contained the upcoming trade deals. We started with the GSP with MX letting in some goods duty free. Then NAFTA that was suppose to free up goods across Canada the US and MX so that without duties more jobs would be created. What happened? US businesses left in droves for MX. No longer would they pay union wages, health care plans, retirement plans, environmental fees, local, state and federal taxes, sick, holiday and vacation time. It was cheaper to pay MX low wages then put goods on a truck to the same market, free, with no duties. Ford has a huge plant in Chihuahua, Japan, Italy and Germany also make cars there. Its cheaper than European high wages, ocean freight costs and duty. Now we have clothing from Madagascar, Vietnam, etc. Anyplace where our businesses can lower their bottom line. On the other side of the board congress and businesses did nothing to help American workers by allowing cheap illegal labor to stay in the US. Our legal immigrant levels are at 850,000 a year. American taxpayers have been assaulted at every level, especially becausee of Congressional actions. We now have trade deals with Israel, the Caribbean nations, Chile, Colombia, etc. When will Congress wake up and say this country comes first?? If America isn't strong, if its people aren't strong you can forget the rest of the world.

Isn't Obama convening a jobs summit with his unions akin to Hitler adn his SS guards holding a religious renewal retreat for Jews?

Another 502,000 people have been added to the unemployment roles added to the 2 to 3 MILLION who have lost their jobs since January. The business community is holding their wallets close to the vest as Obama promises to "redistribute the wealth" by "taxing the rich." Sadly "the rich", the ones now holding their wallets close to the vest, are the ones who write most people paychecks.

Until Washington switches from buying votes from the poor at the expense of the rich Obama will have PLENTY of poor to pander to with "cash for clunkers, first time home buyers tax credits, vote buying $11.00 tax breaks and free health care.

With those unemployed for so long they have moved off the governments STATS the TRUE unemployment rate is more like 17.5%, or one in every SIX AMericans, far beyond the current media hype 10.2%.

The stimulus was supposed to limit unemployment to 8%. When unemployment blew right past 8% on its way the the current 10.2% Joe Biden said they "misread the economy" and guessed wrong on that on".
This same administration "guessed wrong" and underfunded Cash for clunkers. They had to add BILLIONS to cash for clunkers.....................TWICE!!!!!

These rookies can't fund a program to sell cars but they want to run 1/6th of the US economy with health care??

TRUE unemployment is now 17.5% and these rookies want to hold a jobs summit............?? Obama, the new P.T. Barnum of presidents.....a sucker born every day..........yes we can.......change you can believe in.............not for the 2 to 3 MILLION people who have lost their job since January.

It is absolutely AMAZING how much this is all panning out like the Jimmy Carter 1970's and most Obama supporters are just not old enough to see it.

Repectfully,
Pete

I hear what he said but I don't believe a word of it. Lowered taxes, bull the increases just haven't kicked in yet. Labor unions, bull they are job killers, small business, bull none of his policies encourage small business in fact they promise to pillage and plunder job creation. Just words that he thinks we want to hear. Another smoke screen to divert our attention from the real agenda. Sorry Obama you will never fool this old capitalist. You are a socialist to the core and you have proven it beyond recall.

The Bamster will invite some yes men whu will tell him what he wants to hear and support his tax and spend policies. and if by some chance several disagree with his philosophy him he will discredit them at the first opportunity. Rest assurred SEIU will be well represented since Andy Stern is documented to have been tp the Whitehouse a minimum of 22 times since the community organizer took office. General McChrystal was allowed one visit with Obama and it lasted less than an hour. I am sure Rahm Emmanuel will not let a crisis such as this go to waste. Grab your ankles and brace.

Again what a screw up he would screw up a one car furnial.

WHY IS OBAMA ON TV SO MUCH? IS HE CRAZY?
