WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama hits the road Monday to take aim at the unemployment crisis inflicting misery on millions of Americans and casting a cloud of doubt over his nascent reelection bid.
Obama was traveling to the 2012 swing state of North Carolina to chair a meeting of his Jobs Council, a group of top business executives set up to provide ideas about stirring jobs growth with unemployment at 9.1 percent.
The president was then due to head to another critical electoral state, Florida, to hold several fundraisers to bolster his campaign coffers as the 2012 presidential race erupts into life, before the November 2012 election.
On Tuesday, Obama heads to the US unincorporated territory of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, where people are American citizens but cannot vote in general elections -- but have close links to the Puerto Rican diaspora, a fast growing political demographic in Florida.
Obama's distinctly political travel comes as Republicans launch their nominating race for the right to take him on next year with a New Hampshire debate Monday certain to including scything attacks on his economic record.
The White House says the visit to North Carolina, which Obama narrowly carried in the 2008 election, and hopes to retain next time, is evidence of his administration's focus on creating jobs.

“The jobs council, headed by GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt, will be holding its second meeting, and the first outside Washington.”
“The session will be held at Cree, a lighting production company, which the White House sees as an example of US companies investing in future technologies, a trend it sees as vital to reigniting the economic recovery.”
I love how they didn’t mention that Cree does most of it’s manufacturing in China.
what a joke this guy is....
Obozo’s efforts to “create” jobs will be about as effective as Pres. Ford’s “WIN” button was to curb inflation.
More speechifying.
(Yawn)
Shouldn’t that read: After 3 Years Of Doing Nothing, Obama Pretends To Give A Damn.
he asked the fool Immelt who has lost jobs for advice, is it any wonder why this economy has gone to crap and then the advice Immelt gave was to get more construction jobs going, i.e. more tax payers projects short term.
Increase tourism, , LOL and this as the 4 is getting weaker.
What a prize plum obama is and what a dumb arse, the man has to be the most stupid dumbest man to have ever served.
He has no clue and then goes to people who have no clue but does have track records of losing jobs
so true this dummy who has to be most stupid man to have served has never even ran a yard sale.
He has never had a proper private sector job, never ran anything, as a community agitator took Govt money to ruin that area while pocketing a lot of it and then marries a woman who is the same as him, thick, lazy and not proper job.
So he goes to a man for advice who has only destroyed job, and watched NBC etc go down the crap hole.
When the left say someone is stupid it is because they know the person is not.
If they say their man is smart it is because they know he is dumb and never done anything of note.
Exactly. And the fact he got electedd doesn't count as an "accomplishment" either.
It's more accurately described as a sick injustice "accomplished" by ignorant voters and/or election fraudsters.
.
Obama looking for Jobs???????
No wonder! He can’t handle the one he’s got.
Reading his resume I see that he has a lot of experience on the links.....maybe he should apply at the Caddy Shack!
My local CC needs a new assistant grounds keeper.......we’ve got a gopher terrorizing the greens......maybe he could send in some SEALs?
OMG these freaking clowns just keep playing these idiotic games over and over. The saddest part is how many idiots will buy into this. You can hear them; “See he’s trying so hard but those nasty rich people just won’t open up their wallets enough.”
It’s getting so old and so transparent to so many of us. Actually it’s getting more frustrating watching his idiot backers than anything else. Many of these people are just dedicated communists who know precisely what they’re doing but the vast majority are just embarrassingly stupid Americans. “Useful idiots” as Stalin called them in his day. I know that may sound callous and uppity on my part but there is no other way I can put it. Perhaps one better educated than I could put it more tactfully but I am a simple man and say what I think.
Meanwhile, back in DC, the Congress is voting on an Obama administrative initiative to restrict hiring on projects that receive gov’t funding to union workers only, even in right to work states.
