Obama urges CEOs to Hire
- Thread starter Rashid_G.
- Start date
In 2012, when the "official/phony" unemployment rate is still about 10%... perhaps THEN we'll consider what's really necessary to get Americans back to work and the economy back on track....
Hate to break the news to ya'll but Bernanke finds no correlation between outsourcing and unemployment here in America.
Ahemmm.. we are all barking up the wrong tree.
Now with that being said, Obama has two options, extend UE benes and door number 2 ........ Obama pleading with CEO's to start hiring.
Looking back Obama has started some "job initiaitives".
Beer summits. We should have more and bigger "beer summits" screw the job fairs. Beer summits are hot.
He retracted or "Make myself clear" regarding heading out to Las Vegas to gamble. (Not sure though if he was referring to slots or real estate).

Job fairs are great. They have many great positions to choose from like selling meat out of a truck door to door and selling candles to your friends and family.
The best job in the world though is a sign holder; they crack me up, they're always dancing around the sidewalk holding a sign; what are they smoking? I wonder if any MBA's or PHD's are sign holders. I am so jealous of those sign holders, they get all the fine girls. I can imagine some fine woman at a party with her sign holding husband...one woman says "my husband is a hedge fund manager"...one woman says "my husband is a neurosurgeon"...the fine woman says "my husband is a sign holder." Then all the women at the party drop to their knees and start praising the sign holder husband like he is God.

Spot on !
Please Mr. CEO, hire me; I don't care if your company is losing money because times are tough and there is not much demand for your product or service, my unemployment just ran out, I have 5 kids to support, I have a huge mortgage on my 6 bedroom mcmansion, I have 2 car payments on my BMW and Mercedes, I am a member of the country club, I need to take 4 vacations per year, my 5 kids all have Iphones, I have 200 channels on my cable tv, and I absolutely refuse to downsize my home, sell my cars, and get rid of my material objects, because then Barbara Jones and her fat pie eating husband next door will think we're losers and won't allow her kids to then play with my kids.
Perhaps corporate profits being at an ALL-TIME HIGH has something to do with the president's initiative in this regard. And yet, some of you guys continue to bash the president's effort at moral suasion despite this unusual combination of record high corporate profits and near-record unemployment. Such patriots.
So you really don't think he's pro business? Here are his quotes from the article:
"You've got essentially a 7 million to 8 million gap between where jobs should be for relatively full employment and where we are," the president said then. "That is my greatest fear, is we don't close that gap."
"I believe that the primary engine of America's economic success is not government," he said. "It's the ingenuity of America's entrepreneurs. It's the dynamism of our markets. And, for me, the most important question about an economic idea is not whether it's good short-term politics or meets somebody's litmus test. It's whether it will help spur businesses, jobs and growth."
Isn't it more honest to say he is pro business but perhaps you disagree on the course of action?
