Less than six months after President Barack Obama visited Facebook, the president will use another Silicon Valley social network, LinkedIn in Mountain View, to host an online discussion about jobs.
"During the Town Hall, the President will answer questions about job creation and the economy from members across the country and hear directly from LinkedIn users who range from small business owners and employees to community college students to veterans," the White House announced in a posting Tuesday afternoon on LinkedIn. The President will speak from the Computer History Museum, near LinkedIn's headquarters.

In other news, Silicon Valley whores look to see who can go down on Hussein fastest.

Hussein may still own the myspacers and facebookers, but Linkedin people are smarter, unless they’re all white guilt freaks, but I’m betting not.

yeah, a lot of them are white guilt folks and they have only opened the “town hall” to 50 people so you bet there will be no hostile questions.

New Jobs Bill OVERRIDES STATEs RIGHTS
What Youre Not Hearing About the New Jobs Bill: It Overrides States Rights
September 20, 2011 at 12:01pm by Becket Adams
With the introduction of The American Jobs Act, Americans may soon witness a rerun of the Obama healthcare struggle. Much like its predecessor, president Obamas newest bill contains certain provisions that would appear to benefit those who wrote the bill more than those for whom the bill was supposedly written.
For instance, buried deep, deep on page 133 of the bill, it states:
SEC. 376. FEDERAL AND STATE IMMUNITY.
(a) Abrogation of State Immunity- A State shall not be immune under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution from a suit brought in a Federal court of competent jurisdiction for a violation of this Act.
Come again? Under the bills authority, states are not immune from federal prosecution if they violate the act. In the event this bill passes, it will override a states sovereign authority as defined and protected under the 11th amendment:
The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
By what authority does a bill that seeks to create jobs and concern itself with things such as payroll relief and teacher stabilization have the right to override the 11th amendment?
It gets even better:
(A) WAIVER- A States receipt or use of Federal financial assistance for any program or activity of a State shall constitute a waiver of sovereign immunity, under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution or otherwise, to a suit brought by an employee or applicant for employment of that program or activity under this Act for a remedy authorized under Section 375(c) of this Act [emphasis added].
Any state that receives Federal assistance under the direction of bill automatically forfeits its sovereign immunity. Should an employe of the act seek federal prosecution, the state must abide.
They will literally make a Federal case out of it. The bill continues:
(2) EFFECTIVE DATE- With respect to a particular program or activity, paragraph (1) applies to conduct occurring on or after the day, after the date of enactment of this Act, on which a State first receives or uses Federal financial assistance for that program or activity.
c) Remedies Against State Officials- An official of a State may be sued in the official capacity of the official by any employee or applicant for employment who has complied with the applicable procedures of this Act, for relief that is authorized under this Act.
(d) Remedies Against the United States and the States- Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, in an action or administrative proceeding against the United States or a State for a violation of this Act, remedies (including remedies at law and in equity) are available for the violation to the same extent as such remedies would be available against a non-governmental entity.
It would seem that The American Jobs Act was drafted in order to achieve statist goals rather than create jobs. The authority of individual states is all but thrown to the side.
Much like the healthcare struggle, provisions such as the ones mentioned in the above will incite a strong reaction. As well it shouldthe stakes are too high.
Dick Morris said it well when he wrote:
It is soft tyranny that requires us to sit by passively while our ethic of cultural assimilation is replaced by a permanent enshrining of diversity. It bids we let our rights to our own property, that we have worked for and acquired, be sublimated to government power disguised as human rights. It asks that we elevate the demand for equality over that for economic initiative and the incentives which propel them.
The American Jobs Act may or may not create jobs. It will, however, lessen and diminish the individuality of the states.
Liberty once lost is lost forever, John Adams said.

Pretty much sums up his speech: hate whitey, hate rich folks, hate whitey, tax the rich, hate whitey, more green jobs, hate whitey
To: AdmSmith; AnonymousConservative; Berosus; bigheadfred; Bockscar; ColdOne; Convert from ECUSA; ...
It means even tighter control over the questions asked of his turdship, while looking for all the world like he’s reaching out to the entire community using communication methods familiar to all. Thanks Battle Hymn of the Republic.

What a joke! Obama wouldn’t know a job if it bit him on the butt. Neither would those so called advisors in the WH. They do NOT HAVE A CLUE!

I just got the email announcing this and I had to laugh. On a day that worldwide markets are in a free fall, I see that Zero is conducting yet another pointless, biased online “Q&A” on jobs. Who is advising this guy? I mean really...it’s time to lead now Barry...you got the job. The campaign is over
