2. The administration is eating its own dog food.
They gave trillions to the banks, refueling the phony Wall-Street-as-casino bubble temporarily.

Now they see the phony numbers their disastrous bailout caused, and somehow forgot their own scam was responsible. They seem to believe there is a real recovery underway, and the "jobs summit" is just a stalling tactic until the magic "recovery" starts yielding jobs.

Trouble is, even if this was a real recovery (which it is not), it wouldn't yield positive job growth for another three or four years. They can't stall that long.

Obama has compounded our economic disaster. Never mind the henhouse, he has handed the whole farm over to the supply siders and Goldman Sachs criminals.
