Zell: Obama Has Lost His Focus on Economy

The White House has mishandled the economy, and the solution is a victory by Republicans in elections this November, says real estate titan Sam Zell.
“We have to get our economy back in line,” he told CNBC. “We have to focus on creating jobs. So far the programs of this administration seem to be focused on a lot of ideological issues and not on jobs.”
Non-farm payrolls rose 431,000 in May, but only 41,000 of those jobs were in the private sector.
“The people who create jobs don’t have any confidence in the current administration and the current actions being taken,” Zell said. “When you reduce the confidence of the guys and gals taking the risk, you have very slow activity.

"Non-farm payrolls rose 431,000 in May" I'm assuming most of those are census jobs. Does anyone know if that's correct? And, what's the lifespan for those jobs, 4 months or so?

His focus on the economy?You can't lose something you never had!

NO WAY! His focus was and still is - to bring it down. When will some focus on what REALLY is his intent for it is not hidden.

How can you lose something you never had?

Zell is a huge fan of Krauthammer. The only odd thing Sam has ever done is to buy the Tribune. Otherwise, he's solid.
BTW bidniss has gone flat as a pancake here in Chicago. Brack hasn't done dick for his old homeys.

I believe that there were over 500,000 census jobs out of the 431,000 overall gain...
Anyway, how does one lose a focus one never had?

“Obama Has Lost His Focus on Economy”.
And just exactly what focus was there before? Spending us into debt so deep our great grandchildren will still be paying for it.
Rot in hell, you bastard!
To: TigerLikesRooster
lost his focus... he never spent a SECOND worried about the economy. His only worry since day one was to impose his socialist agenda ASAP before the voters can do anything about it... well that, and missing the good parties and his tee time.

I love Krauthammer, so I am glad this guy knows of what he speaks. Thanks for the info.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Obama has no focus on anything except the destruction of America.
