President Obama met with his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness on Tuesday to review their latest report, "detailing recommendations to the President on strengthening our economy."
According to the Council's report, members are pushing for many ideas that are considered to be conservative in nature, including several that have already passed in the Republican-controlled House as jobs bills.
"With this report, President Obama's own panel of experts has endorsed the approach to job creation House Republicans have been pursuing for more than a year," Republican House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement.
However, President Obama tried to nix the Council's ideas by telling them he'll try his best to get the recommendations done, but told them this is an "election year" and "getting Congress focused on some of these issues may be difficult."
"I want you to know that obviously this year is an election year, and so getting Congress focused on some of these issues may be difficult. But we have been struck by the degree of capacity we have administratively to at least chip away at some of these problems. Oftentimes, it’s hard to get the kind of comprehensive solutions that you want without legislative involvement. But those small, incremental steps, they add up, and we’re going to continue to make sure that we push that as hard as possible," Obama told the Council.

What a cynical pimp this joker in the White House is.
They will push backwards.
It’s been an election year for him from the first day he set his marxist foot in the door of the WH!!!grrrr.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The “If I were King of the World” fantasy has begun again. Yes, if he were the Dear Leader, Unified World Ruler, Genie in charge; all the needs of his supporters would be met and all of his enemies punished. Do any of them realize that it would be he not them who determines their needs? There is no doubt that playing dictator and monarch is his greatest narcissistic dream.
If the sheeple can’t read this one, perhaps it’s time for this experiment to end. After all it is not that we were given a republic, it is can we manage to keep it.
“Any” American voter that casts a vote for Barack “America destroyer” Hussein Obama is not an American at all!! End of story, period!!!
Step 1: Label all legislation a ‘Jobs Bill’
Step 2: Let the grown ups in the House say no
Step 3: Tell the media the GOP is in the way of jobs
Step 4: Do a Jedi mind trick to get people to forget the Keystone Pipeline.
“...degree of capacity...”
Someone’s updated the gibberish generator.
Here's how you do it, Bammy - lower or drop taxes on business. Simplify and reduce the regulations on business so that they can afford to compete on the global market.
If we would do these two things, America would become a global job IMPORTER instead of a global job EXPORTER.
I'll leave you with this: At the end of WWII, America held 60% of the world's manufacturing capacity. Read that last sentence again and let that sink in.
Today, we have LESS THAN 20% of the world's manufacturing capacity. Therein lies the problem and Bammy and his czars could care less about you or your job!!
He is not in favor of any jobs except those in government and those that are “union” and contribute to democrats.
“Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”
DUH!!
The body language in that video is telling. Daley’s facepalm..and Immelt leaning away with a furrowed brow.
As if....paraphrasing.. “thanks for all your hard work...if we can go around Congress and decree any of this, we’ll do it, otherwise, forget about it”
I guess “chipping away” at economic problems is what Barry O calls “focusing like a laser beam” on the economy!
What a condescending jerk The One We Were Waiting For is!
Take that, congresscritters! You can’t focus!
