Obama Pivoting To Job Creation For Seventh Time Now
— Ace

Guy needs to change his club. He keeps hacking at the ball over and over, and yet it's never knocked clear of the sandtrap.

Keep in mind that inherent in the pivot-point talking point is an inherent excuse: the reason the administration hasnÂ’t seen much success in bringing down the unemployment rate, or is perceived to be useless in bringing down the unemployment rate, or hasnÂ’t communicated its message about its efforts, is always a lack of time and focus. I think most of us would argue the problem isnÂ’t really an administrative attention deficit disorder or chronic focus on other issues; the problem is the policies stink.
Too much of the stimulus money got spent on crap. It allowed states to put off fiscal reckoning between runaway expenditures and vastly overestimated tax revenues. Trade deals have collected dust for years while ObamaÂ’s team tries to find ways to placate unions. Fancy regulation-reduction panels are announced while the Federal Register grows thicker and thicker. Obamacare adds a whole new complicating variable into employer health care plans.
Â“Alright, now weÂ’re really going to pivot to jobs, just you wait and seeÂ” sounds like the oft-heard pledges of dieting and exercise and saving money and cleaning out the basement and flossing; the idea that all itÂ’s going to take is a bit more attention to the problem and itÂ’s going to be solved. I donÂ’t doubt that a lot of folks in the White House are worried about the unemployment rate. I just donÂ’t have any faith that they have any real ideas to improve the situation.

I linked this before for another purpose, but Jake Tapper battered Jay Carney with the question: "What is Obama actually, specifically doing to create jobs?"

JAKE TAPPER, ABC NEWS: I believe the Dow has gone down -- obviously, the day is not over -- but I believe the Dow's gone down now more than during that controversial TARP vote. And analysts are saying that the reason that this is happening is because of uncertainty about the American economy, that we are entering a double-dip recession, or at the very least, a period of real softness and weakness for the U.S. economy. What is the administration doing about that?
JAY CARNEY, WHITE HOUSE: Well, the analysis I saw today did not -- was not about the American economy, particularly, in terms of what's happening.
TAPPER: IÂ’m talking about analysis from the last 20 minutes.
CARNEY: But there are obviously -- there are a lot of global issues that affect the global economy and that obviously affect the American economy. We strongly believe, as I've said, that we will continue to grow and we will continue to create jobs, and we need to take the measures necessary to do that.
We have encountered in this calendar year a number of economic headwinds that could not have been foreseen: the tsunami -- earthquake and tsunami in Japan that disrupted global supply chains; the unrest in the Middle East, which has an impact on oil prices; and the situation in Europe. So, you know, obviously that has hurt the economy globally and has slowed growth and job creation, but we believe that growth and job creation will continue.
TAPPER: Well, what is the president doing? We know that he went to a -- -- he went to fundraisers last night. What's he doing today?
CARNEY: Jake, that is --
TAPPER: What is he doing --
CARNEY: The president -- as the president has worked --
TAPPER: We hear him hectoring Congress about all the stuff that needs to be done to help create jobs --
CARNEY: That's right. And Congress --
TAPPER: -- and then he flew off to Chicago. What is he doing today?
CARNEY: The president is having meetings with his senior staff. The president has called on Congress to move quickly on things that have bipartisan support and are in Congress's lap, the trade --
TAPPER: The same stuff he was doing a couple months ago, calling on Congress to pass things.

Of course we know what he was actually doing: the Electric Slide at his star-studded Birthday Extravaganza, as invitee Chris Rock reported on Twitter.

WASHINGTON--President Obama celebrated his 50th birthday Thursday night with a celebrity-filled bash, as entertainer Chris Rock reported on his Twitter feed: "Just left the Presidents birthday party at the White House. Herbie Hancock played, Stevie Wonder sang and yes they did the electric slide. A great night."
...
Obama's party--paid for, the White House said, by the First Couple--was closed press and not on his official schedule. Obama's team was not eager for pictures of the bash, coming as the stock market was plunging and a new jobless report comes out Friday morning.
Eddie Gehman Kohan, who presides over Obama Foodorama, the website of record about entertaining in the Obama White House, put together a detailed report about the five-hour barbeque, based on interviews of people who were there.

Let's check that.

The night was balmy, and when dinner was done, a DJ spun dance tunes--"like at a Bar Mitzvah," said one guest. The twenty tables for ten in the Rose Garden were pushed aside so guests could dance, led by the President and Mrs. Obama.
"'I'm going to challenge you all to dance,' the President said, and everyone did," said the guest.
That's when everyone's shoes came off, and things kicked into high gear with barefoot jammin.' Among other dances, guests did the Electric Slide, which impressed Chris Rock so much he tweeted about it:
"Just left the Presidents birthday party at the White House. Herbie Hancock played, Stevie Wonder sang and yes they did the electric slide. A great night." Rock wrote (sic).

The actual menu did not seem extravagant, so it seems some political control was exerted there.

But the President danced, and danced, and danced, so gaily, as if everything was right in the world.

Why the fuck could you not foresee unrest in the Middle East? Do we not have intelligence services? Are we saying that unrest in the Middle East is some new, UNPRECEDENTED phenomenon?And why is the plight of the PIIGS unforeseen when their precarious situation has been discussed for more than a year?

22 It still going to bother people that the prezident "danced so gayly"....the whole country is depressed and unhappy, parties aren't the same as in the past, people are afraid to go on more than a weekend vacation if they can afford to go on a vacation at all, people are waiting for sales and buying less. So the president having a great time in the midst of all this economic turmoil is either irritating to some or puzzling to others.

Obama's renewed Focus on Jobs^tm apparently means that he will "venture forth into the country," i.e. campaign in battleground states.

If you disagree with this you are ridiculous.

And racist.

Assuming he pivoted 51.43 deg. on each pivot....he is back to where he started......which means we will have no job growth

Why doesn't he understand that to create jobs you have to do three things:

1.) Cut taxes on small and large business. He wants to raise taxes on individuals.....fine we have plenty of people who do not even pay tax

2.) Deregulate. He must decrease the size of government, and especially get the EPA out of the way

3.) Create a stable environment. ObamaCare uncertainty and talk of Cap & Trade, and growth in government scares business.

My oh my has he come a long way since his young and innocent days. Liberal or no, he's the only man in Washington press corps who actually seems willing to, as in that hoary old chestnut, "speak truth to power."

96 And of course the menu consisted of all the things Queen Michelle has forbidden us to eat:

The evening began with chicken, ribs, hamburgers, hot dogs, pasta and salad in the Rose Garden, and then four kinds of pie: apple, peach, huckleberry and cherry. At the end of the dinner, irst lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha presented the president with a cake before the party moved indoors.

Anybody remember when candidate Obama made fun of McCain for suspending his campaign to deal with the financial crisis -- saying that Presidents have to be able to multi-task?

Seems like Obama's not so great at multi-tasking, since every problem that comes up distracts him from job creation: Mr. Multi-Tasker (sort of).

99 Good news ... Guam ineligible for healthcare waiver

The Health and Human Services Department denied Guam's request for a waiver from a portion of the healthcare reform law, saying the rules in question don't apply there in the first place.

Yeah., but they have to worry the whole island will tip over.

104 Fixed the ABC story for ya.

JAKE TAPPER, ABC NEWS: I believe the Dow has gone down taken a dump-- obviously, the end is near day is not over --What is the administration doing about that?

JAY CARNEY, Douchebag: I didn't see/hear anything and stop talking so much my head hurts Well, the analysis I saw today did not -- was not about the American economy, particularly, in terms of what's happening.

TAPPER: IÂ’m talking about analysis from the last 20 minutes you stupid fuck.

CARNEY: But there are obviously, nothing-- there are a lot of global issues that affect the global economy and that obviously affect the American economy. We strongly believe, as I've said, that we will continue to grow and we will continue to create jobs, and we need to take the measurements of the drapes in the Oval Office necessary to do that.

TAPPER: Well, what is the president doing? We know that he went to a -- -- he went to fundraisers last night. What's he doing today?

CARNEY: Jake, that is --Nothing, he's hung over.

TAPPER: What the fuck is he doing???? --

CARNEY: The president -- as the president has worked tried to avoid working but the American peasants keep bothering him.

TAPPER: We hear him hectoring Congress about all the stuff that needs to be done to help create jobs --

CARNEY: That's right. Gotta blame somebody. Congress --

TAPPER: -- and then he flew off to Chicago. What is he doing today?

CARNEY: The president is having Bloody Marys meetings with Chris Rock and Stevie his senior staff. The president has tried to called on Congress but he keeps getting a busy signal. to move quickly on things that have bipartisan support and are in Congress's lap, the trade --

TAPPER: The same shit stuff he was doing a couple months ago, dialing the wrong number calling on Congress to pass things.

112 So who did President Barack Obama invite to his 50th birthday bash? Politico provides the answer. There were, of course, the political types like Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Chair of the Federal Communications Commission Julius Genachowski and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi....
