Today President Obama failed to reauthorize the jobs council that he created by executive order two years ago. Therefore, that council died. Not that it ever mattered in terms of policy, as the president had not met with it in about a year and never met with it more than a handful of times. It held a total of four meetings.
Questioned about the demise of the council today, White House spokesman Jay Carney ridiculed critics.
“It’s a little ironic to hear from those who with great fervor embraced the policies that helped create the greatest economic crisis of our lifetime … be critical on this,” Carney said, adding that he viewed criticisms from Republicans as “somewhat ridiculous.”
Carney was again, for the hundred millionth time, blaming the policies of the Bush era for the economic collapse, which was actually triggered by the loose lending policies of the Democrat-run federal housing lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Perhaps, with the death of Obama’s irrelevant jobs council, the president will also stop pretending to pivot toward jobs. That never was a particularly convincing pirouette.
Well, at least they met more often then his skeet shooting council.
Can one member of the sycophantic press ask Carney when Obama and his Administration will stop blaming Bush for all of the problems? After all, Obama has been president (at least in name) for four years now.
The Democratic Party is simply mirroring the FDR Democrats..
Blame Hoover! (Bush)
.. and history, written by socialists will hold the torch for Obama’s brilliance for the next 50 years
Well, at least Obama’s press secretary has an appropriate name as he is about as honest as a “carney”…
Riddikulus – just because we say so:
