It took him months to decide what to do about Afghanistan and when he did he went before West Point cadets, spoke for a long time, bored one of them to sleep, never mentioned “victory” and left.
Now he’s holding a “jobs summit” …. with Google in attendance!!!
What the fuck does that mean?
We’ll probably know in about 6 months after he decides. But I doubt anything will come of it.
Anyway, one asshole in Congress, Chuck Schumer, wants the US Census to hire unemployed workers.
The census “is providing a once-in-a-decade opportunity to put a good number of Americans back to work,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
The Census Bureau responded that “in these difficult times, we’ve made it a priority to hire reliable people who need jobs.” It said the agency has worked with the Labor Department to recruit people looking for work and has partnered regionally and locally with one-stop employment centers. The bureau said it has also worked with state and local governments to ensure that temporary census workers not lose certain benefits.
Schumer and three other senators wrote Commerce Secretary Gary Locke urging that the bureau target the long-term jobless as much as possible when it temporarily employs some 1.4 million next year for the census.
Of course, the kept whores in the media never asked the REAL question: “will trhese workers have to give up their unemployment compensation or, more importantly, exactly how many of th4ese people currentl;y collecting unemployment would even be interested in a job that is temporary?
My guess? Schumer and his minions would somehow rig it so that the worlers could not only collect unemployment but also be paid for working the census thereby protecting the one source the democrats have for mining more votes.
Meanwhile, as Americans go without, Obama is going to host over 50,000 at his Christmas “holiday” parties this year:
The Obama White House kicks off a giant holiday social season this week, I’ve learned: 28 parties and open houses planned for December, with more than 50,000 people expected.
The mega-entertaining sprint, overseen by First Lady Michelle Obama’s East Wing Social Office, comes in the wake of a security breach at the Obamas’ Nov. 24 state dinner where Tareq and Michaele Salahi, TV reality-show aspirants, whizzed through security checkpoints even though they were not on the 320-person guest list. The Social Office will be more vigilent now, the East Wing said Tuesday.The Salahis told NBC Tuesday they were not party crashers, but they did not explain why they had the impression they were welcome at the dinner.
I asked Camille Y. Johnston, communications chief for Michelle Obama, for details about the upcoming party season. “This holiday season, more than 50,000 people will visit the White House’s 17 holiday parties and 11 open houses,” she said.
“Social Office staff will be present to continue to assist guests and the United States Secret Service should any confusion arise. As always, the United States Secret Service will provide security and will control who has access to the White House grounds.”
