PresBO is trying to walk back his “the private sector is doing fine”comment during his press briefing yesterday.  The decision to have a mini-presser yesterday is pretty weird. The only thing he could have said to explain the mini-presser was that he is in favor of an independent prosecutor to find the leaks in his White House.  But he didn’t do that.

So yesterday afternoon, he told us that he knows the private sector isn’t doing well.  He then told us he talks about jobs.  He talks about jobs on Friday, the day before, the week before, the month before, and the past year.  He talks.  He doesn’t do.

I guess he was talking about jobs when he met with 24 young stars last week in secret.  If he spent the same amount of time working with the congress as he does doing fundraisers with the George Clooney, Sarah Jessica Parker, and others, there might be something that could be done.  Of course, the jobs situation is bad because of Obama policies and a mountain of yet to be written rules in Dodd/Frank and Obamacare.  No one is going to crawl out on a limb with new hires if Obama and his Dems are behind them with saws.  Yes, there are headwinds.   China is in slowdown.  Europe is in recession and counties are bankrupt.  A stong America could help the world weather this storm.  Too bad Obama doesn’t know what it takes to make the American economy strong.  Maybe things will get better is he talks a little bit more.

I propose that Harry Reid, John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, and Mitch McConnell all install themselves on Air Force 1 so they can have some real time with the campaigning PresBO.  They can wait on the tarmac while PresBO collects checks from the 1%.
