REPORTER: On the Jobs Council, obviously they've reported to haven't met formally or publicly for six months. Why is exactly is that?
CARNEY: Look, the president solicits and receives input and advice from members of his Jobs Council and others about economic initiatives all the time. And I would point you to the numerous initiatives put forward by the Jobs Council that this administration under the president's direction has taken action, presidential memorandum of August of last year that selected 14 job creating high-priority infrastructure projects for expedited review. Four of those are already under construction.
In March of this year, just four months ago, an executive order launched interagency effort to cut red tape and improve outcomes for infrastructure projects.

He has the nation’s heart on his plate, and the vampire is devouring it as fast as he can.
To: Nachum
Obama’s fund raising takes precedence over jobs.

That excuse would,shall we say,ring very hollow with those who've been unemployed for 12...24...36 months.

Yep, Obama has a lot on his plate and it is not about jobs for the average Joe. It is about him keeping his job with all the fund raisers going on.
To: Nachum
Maybe if he’d put down the shovel and back away from the fundraiser and golf course buffet he might have room on that plate for some real work.

IIRC, the Jobs Council’s last report recommended reducing taxes and regulations. That may be a factor in why Obama doesn’t want to hear from them again.
