So how about that Obama Jobs Council and creating jobs... how they doing?

Question

This has not been a show council. This has been a work council,” Obama declared during the January 2012 session, where the panel presented a report containing more than 60 recommendations aimed at stimulating job creation.

“I have been tracking implementation of your recommendations. And we’ve seen substantial progress across the board,” Obama added. “Hopefully, we’ve at least met your expectations in follow-through and implementation; what we haven’t seen is a bunch of white paper sitting on a shelf somewhere collecting dust.”

Fast forward 6 months.

Jobs Panel missing in action.. panel hasnt met in six months.
Some excutives appointed to the panel have been involved in outsourcing.

I guess Obama and his experts are too busy with the campaign and digging up Romneys tax records to work on jobs issues.

I'm still unemployed and I have 2 degrees.  Fighting for the same jobs with people way more qualified than me. Getting treated like dog meat by employers because they don't have to care with so many people looking.  Unemployment tiers are being cut that originally were supposed to be extended until December 31st because apparently people are working. Yeah, right. More like people gave up looking or just settled for peanuts.

This economy is a joke and so is Obama.

Well let me see. I'm aware of 30 factories GE closed, but it was O.K. because they made old incandescent light bulbs. Then they opened new factories making green light bulbs and hired 25,000 people......in China.

Way to go, Jeffrey Immalt, CEO of GE and head of Obama's job council.
