Obama's Focus on Jobs -- 2

You are not going to believe this. The White House spokesman Jay Carney was asked why it is that president Obama's "Jobs Council" has not held a meeting in over six months. Here is the relevant part of the answer offered by Carney:

No, there's no specific reason except that the president's obviously got a lot on his plate.

During those six months, Obama had time for something like 150 fundraising event, twelve golf outings, numerous bus tours on the old campaign bus, and all sorts of other events. I will not even mention the vacations. So golf, fundraising and campaigning took total precedence over trying to do something that might help create jobs for American workers. You would think that Carney would not admit this, but then again, it is still Washington.
