Carney: Obama’s jobs council hasn’t met in 6 months ’cause the president “got a lot on his plate”

• A foursome is all that is permitted when shooting a round of golf. So barry can only meet with 3 others on the links to discuss what the hell is going wrong with all of the ideas from the clown in the WH.

  • Don't they have to close the golf course and suspend all the rules for Dear Leader to play a round?

• The truth is, no point in Obama meeting with job council anyway. 1) he doesn't have a clue about what to do, 2) since it's all about him and the jobs situation is making him look bad, he no doubt says to hell with it, and 3) he would not agree with anyone on the council that had a clue.

• Not as much as michelle

• So the Carney Barker told us that "Dear Leader" has a lot on his plate. He has that laser like focus going on jobs, namely his. So who is "Dear Leader" going to blame this time? It's gotten to the point that Goebbels would be calling Jay a fucking liar.

• He had 35K per plate on his plate in San Antonio this week. This event was held in the most exclusive gated neighborhood in town. Seems kind of hypocritical now that I think about it.

  • Did you see who hosted it? Remember the Dell guy who cut a couple thousand jobs here while saving Pacific/Asian jobs and then basically bragged about it? 0bummer brags about wanting to be insourcer-in-chief, then goes to a fundraiser at this dudes house.

    • I believe it was the Eva Longoria. At least her name popped up on the news as hosting it.

      • think I heard it was her house, oh and I was wrong, it was 4,000 mostly Texas jobs not 2.

• What with his golf, his vacations, his fund raising, his primping in front of the mirror, his endless photo ops in front of faux victims of some thing or the other.

• I'm not one to give Press Secretaries a hard time. They have a really difficult job, trying to shine the shit their bosses create. Plus, you can't blame a Press Secretary for the policy of his or her boss. They might agree or disagree with the actions being taken, and they still have to go out there and try to make the president smell like roses. It's probably one of the few political related positions I would give some respect to and let slide on issues I would normally not.

  • The job is to be a professional liar. I would call it being a bullshit artist, but they so blatantly lie there is no artistry to it. But then, how is this any different than being a regular journalist. A liar lying to a bunch of liars.

  • Plus, let's face it. We've all been in situations where we had to spin the truth a little. Maybe it's been at work or maybe the old lady is mad at you. Those situations where you need to think on your toes and try to create a positive outcome, even though you may be completely wrong, and you know it. That's the exact situation a Press Secretary faces everyday. But instead of having just your woman interrogating you, you have a room full of people. So ya, I gotta give respect to the PS.

    • Sorry Joe, I don't give respect to people who lie for a living. He does not work for Obama, he, like all other politicians and Federal employees, works for US. The people. So, no respect from me. And, it's not partisan. If a Republican PS is lying, they are just as bad. The only difference is that if it's an Obama PS, the minute they open their mouth, it's a lie.

      • It wouldn't be quite so bad if he was at least good at lying.

        • even better if he didn't look like phantom of the opera.

        • What about Phantom de la Revolucion!

• can't email to Ihatethemedia.com (20+ trys) but if this goes thru (first time) I can comment wth? I realize you're email must be stuffed with sickness but total denial c'mon. my comment related to Obama trade policy but hey that's boring eh? http://newsfeed.huydang.com/2012/07/saskatchewan-premier-brad-wall-takes.html

• A 'jobs program' is a waste of his time - Obama voters want money, as a last resort they'll take a job to get it, but for now they would prefer if Obama took somebody else's money and just gave it to them.

  Food stamps, social security, 99 weeks, no rules welfare, union bailouts, fat government contracts for solar etc. - Obama voters are getting what they want. The unemployment rate is irrelevant.

  Why would they change course?

  • The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,Is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever.

    Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of The Interior, asks "Please Do Not Feed the Animals."

    Their stated reason for the policy is the animals will grow dependent on handouts And will not learn to take care of themselves.

• ’cause the president “got a lot on his plate.”

  Yea, all that golf takes a lot out of you.

  • Don't forget vacations and seemingly endless fund-raisers.
