President Barack Obama's Jobs Council hit a notable milestone on Thursday: one year without an official meeting.
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 Thursday.
POLITICO caused a stir last July by reporting that the panel had not convened officially for six months.
The White House's initial response to the report also fanned the flames when Press Secretary Jay Carney said Obama was too busy to meet the panel, a remark the Obama aide later clarified by saying the president was "extremely appreciative" of the group's work.
The Jobs Council is the successor to another outside panel Obama used during his first two years in office, the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, headed by former Federal Reserve chief Paul Volcker.
Wonderful, just wonderful. What can you expect from a group of crony capitalists and labor leaders?
Does this mean that unemployment is not problem or does it just interfere with his golf games....

ReplyDeleteMay I suggest......BOTH.
By the way GE's profit has risen,you know the green energy kings.
I know its very exciting,The growth reflected Chief Executive Jeff Immelt's shift in GE's portfolio deeper into the energy equipment business. OIL and GAS that is.
Obama doesn't care about jobs or those that have them. He cares about the jobless. If this was the jobless council it would meet every week to determine what social programs and payments should be assigned to the jobless. After all, it was the Obama admin that said jobless benefits are is one of the best stimulus programs you can have.
ReplyDeleteObviously you haven't heard things are going great with the unemployment rate at a level not seen since 2008. Just need a million or two more to quit looking for employment and we will be under 5% and then we will be cooking.
