Obama Jobs Council hits 1 year without official meeting
POLITICO ^ | 1/18/13 | JOSH GERSTEIN

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.

A spokesman for Jobs Council chairman Jeffrey Immelt, who's the CEO of General Electric, referred questions about the panel's future to the White House.

A White House spokeswoman had no comment

Maybe Obungler can meet with the Sneate and see if they can pass a budget ?
Its been “jobs as a priority “ ~ according to Michelle
Maybe he should think of budget and the cost of vacations while he is the “Emperor “

Seriously, what in God's name will a "jobs council" do even if it did meet? Talk about the lack of jobs? Maybe pull jobs out of their collective a$$es? Oh I know, maybe they'll elect a jobs fairy who'll bring jobs to all the good little 0bama lemmings. Really?

This is just another example of progressives knowing full well they can't fix a problem, but they want to be seen as "doing something", much like the current debate on gun control.

I bet if the meetings were in Hawaii they would be there tomorrow.

Just a bunch of phonies doing what they do best. F**king over the American people and robbing us of more tax money.

It’s not about jobs and never was. That’s just a talking point.

It’s about consolidation of power, nothing more. That is the Holy Grail to this megalomaniac and the lunatic cabal that is behind him running the country.

He didn’t act on their recommendations anyway. It’s WHAT HE DOES. He’ll form committee after committee to address issues, just to make it look like he’s doing something, then ignores the recommendations. See Simpson-Bowles for further reference. Waste of time.
