Obama announces job summit, blames unemployment on employers

Unemployment’s now at 10.2%. What’s the President’s solution? A jobs summit.

Here’s what President Press Event had to say about eeeeeevil employers who are screwing up his dandy economy:

As I’ve said from the start of this crisis, hiring often takes time to catch up to economic growth. And given the magnitude of the economic turmoil that we’ve experienced, employers are reluctant to hire.

Small businesses and large firms are demanding more of their employees, their increasing their hours, and adding temporary workers — but these companies have not yet been willing to take the steps necessary to hire again.

Words fail. Much like Obama’s economic policies.

  • Obama is a typical liberal failure. first it was blame Bush, then the Repubs in congress, then 2010 came around and the liberals got a whooping. then it was blame the 1%ers that has worn thin already now it is small business owners next it will be the unemployed. mr ruler, oh sorry mr president, you need to look at your self and your appointees. when a team fails it is the coach that gets fired. so far all of your key appointees are clueless. Hilary has a clue and she will not be back. Romm ran for the hills, let me get this straight you give up cheif of staff for a mayoral position? The sec of the treasury is a tax cheat. Axelrod is a communist. pelosi frank rangle wow what a great brain trust. Even Bill Clinton says the bush cuts need to be made permanent.

    how about eric holder, he is a complete liar. how many people has fast and furious killed compared to watergate? pelosi said she could have arrested carl rove anytime she wanted, well why didn't she? She lives in a fantasy world. California liberalism, how is that working out for the 5th largest economy in the world? oh yeah that's right they are in desperate straits. we need to be more like europe, oh wait a minute they are 10 times worse off than we are.
    for those who do not know moveon.org is funded ultimately by george sorros. when did he get us citizenship again?

    Obama you are a fool at every level I am a small business owner. I do not have enough work for the staff i have now.
    I have to take on break even projects to keep my staff working. If I hire more staff what am
    I supposed to do with them how am I supposed to pay them? I should put my business at risk for what?

    Please every liberal please tell me all of obama's credentials, please tell me about all of his business experience, please tell me about all of his successes as a president, osama was bush's intel. it was common knowledge that osama had been in a abbotabad for at least 7 years. how is gitmo coming? what exactly is the obama financial recovery plan, is it the same as FDr's 12 years and a war? the health care was rammed through against the will of the people. Please explain to me how this will be paid for. Let me get this straight the government will manage healthcare. just in case no one has notice the government SUCKS at everything they do.

    it is absolutely imperative we get our country back from the regime in control now.

    one more thought, when a dictator comes into power the first thing they do is shut down the press, yet they kiss his ass. The main stream media is about money not facts or reality.

    PS: FO mr president, you are the biggest mistake this country has ever made. november cannot come soon enough.

  • Who got 47,000 of the new created jobs? The Fed Gov't. Who got squat, zilch, zippo, higher taxes and millions of those SAVED jobs? Was it small business or was it unions?

  • maybe if we rethink our trade policies. start putting tariffs on imports like the world does our exports. try using E-VERIFY see who is legal to work in the country.
    those in washington seem more concerned with someone getting into the whitehouse illegally than those illegals crossing our southen border dailly. maybe the justice dept. should look into prosecuting those people instead of going after 2 americans sneaking into the PEOPLES house!!!!!

  • WH sends another two-faced message and asks for employers to help him out with a jobs summit ... because he doesn't have a clue.

  • Jobs summit? Gitmo moves to Chitmo? A new Bulls-Eye on Chicago. Lucky taxpayers get pay again to buy Chitmo after paying for Gitmo! PorkBo? Where is BHO from?

  • Well-give them 15 b to throw away on ghost electric cars-they will hire a bunch of union guys(as you forced at Chrysler)...then they will kill whatever fake program you allow them to write up-and there you have it-you could have a million or two jobs filled-and like the UAW-the dudes wouldn't even have to go to work barry!
    Give more taxpayer money-you have 600b of it left sitting there collecting dust-major tax incentive to the hiring small businesses-oh, but they are too small for you to take them all over, so you won't touch them! My bad-forget I suggested it mr. president!

  • Obama cannot be that f**king stupid... Where does he bottom out with this twisted reason?

    Created and saved jobs? Then why 10.2%? And the only work Obama has done to 'break the back' of this economic downturn (I'll be polite in what I call it) is to break the back of the employers, employees and the tax payers.

    He will have labor unions to the White House? He has never invited them there before... And non profits? Should that be FOR profit companies? After all the goal is to make money. Think he will invite the Cato Institute? Yeah, I did not think so either.

    Obama... Look left (read teleprompter), look right (read teleprompter), look left (read more off of teleprompter) remember to breath, look right (read more off of teleprompter), check to see if there is any one that requires him to bow to them, look left (read teleprompter)...

    Oh, Barry "our resources are so limited" because you pissed them all away like no other POTUS in history has done! In such a short time too. Idiot!
