In a sense, those types of "jobs" might be better for him to create.
Sorry but creating jobs is not bringing our military back home to fill 20,000 newly created positions at Border Patrol, CIA, NSA, FBI, local policy enforcers, or any other government agency. Creating jobs is making it easier for smaller local businesses to operate and hire people WITH benefits. America doesn't need more Domestic Military Force (Gestapo), we need more People.
Adam Hartung is another 'token' idiot leftist that Forbes is able to point to and say "See, we have nut case spin machines that work for us too".
(Well, not in those exact words but .. you get the gist of it)
The nut job thought that the OWS movement was just dandy but didn't get enough respect'.
It (OWS) deserved more attention than the tea party.
(His words)
If I remember correctly, the OWS got all kinds of attention including .. pooping on squad cars, rapes, robberies and even an attempt to blow up a train trestle?
The Obama economic recovery is a complete sham!
Obama, aided by his media muppets and trusty teleprompter, continues to tout the “common core” 6.1% unemployment rate while shouting “America is back” from the top of Mount Hypocrisy amidst adoring crowds of mindless Kool-Aid drinkers.
As expected, our so-called President is excluding one tiny, although minor detail: Over 92 MILLION Americans, more than a third of the country, are not working!
Workforce participation is at an atrocious 62.8%, the lowest rate since Carter’s implosion in 1978, and food stamp recipients have jumped from 28 million to a staggering 50 million in a mere 6 years!
The national debt has skyrocketed by a record 7 trillion under his imperial watch, and black unemployment – Barry’s disenfranchised victims of white establishment capitalism – is at 11.4%.
Yes, mathematics is a Right Wing conspiracy and America wasn’t founded on intellectual discourse!
I’m also presuming, Mr. President, you forgot to mention that by reinserting the 22 million who have left the workforce for greener entitlement pastures since your inauguration, real black unemployment would be over 25% while the national rate is actually closer to 18%.
Should we mention that the jobless rate of black youths recently topped 40%?
Jimmy Carter must be seething with jealousy.
Obama has the congressional Democrats in his back pocket. Carter’s congress hated him.
Obama has the press solidly in his camp. Carter did not.
Yes the press was not anti-Carter but they were not his personal apologist army as they are for Obama.
He gets the Nobel Peace Prize just for getting elected.
You want to rethink ignorant again?
Puppets are ignorant .. Thinking folks are able to discern the truth!
The only truth about the current economic state of America is that an anti-American bigot squandered trillions of dollars by waging political vendettas, empowering radical associates, bribing the electorate and implementing a backwards progressive agenda designed to reduce the world’s most vibrant and diverse economy into a withering welfare state of socialist futility.

The only thing that I found amusing was the 6.1% unemployment rate. As unemployment benefits have long expired for millions and millions of Americans. And only those getting unemployment or applying for unemployment count as unemployed the way we "do the numbers" nowadays.
You said key points! They need to do a head count of folks who've exhausted their benefits & that unemployment number will double!
Walmart overtook IBM as the nation's largest private sector employer in the 80's. Then came McDonalds which pushed IBM to #3. Fast forward and Yum Brands ( Taco Bell) pushed IBM to #4.
Tens of millions of middle class jobs in banking, manufacturing, publishing, accounting and communications have since been permanently eliminated by newer technologies that are substantially more productive than the humans who came before them.
No reason to pay a US PHD level engineer $250,000 a year, plus bonus and benefits when an as competent US educated engineer in Asia will do the job for $ 25,000 and be grateful.
No reason to pay union wages to construction trades when undocumented workers will be grateful for a fraction of the pay and don't expect benefits.
The federal debt crossed the $ trillion mark and trebled under Reagan. Every cent of it remains unpaid today. The government bailed out the thrift institutions during the S&L crisis in the 80's. Adjusted for inflation, it's right up there with the 2008/9 bail out of Wall Street.
The foundation for deregulating Wall Street was created in the 80's.
Leveraged debt became the rage in the 80's.
The first attack on a US embassy by Islamic terrorists occurred in the 80's.
The Reagan Admin was plagued with scandals. He was blind sighted by his own admin as are all presidents.
People go nuts because Obama takes a working vacation but don't recall that Reagan was holed up in his ranch for months at a time.
The guy did the best his could with the cards he had been dealt, no different than any president. He did however have the best speech writers and knew how to deliver a punch line better than the rest.
It was a different time and place. Cable news was not a 24/7 money machine. There was no internet.

The overwhelming number of small businesses are one man shows, operated out of the owner's home.
We don't need Forbes or polls to state the obvious. President Obama is the greatest President ever. He has shown that Republicans are worse off now than when Bush was in office. Not even memories of that lark Reagan can save Pubs.
President Obama's presidency is already considered a resounding success. Not so for Republicans in Congress.
I think most folk are disgusted with them all, regardless of party.
Forbes is ecstatic over the stock market bubble..Obama and the fed are feeding it and the big investors are making out like thieves.. it will soon come to an end and the little people will lose their wealth in their 401k's as usual as the crash takes place.
What precludes the " little people" from moving some or all of their accumulated wealth in 401k tax deferred accounts from the stock market to a safe haven?
Is someone holding a loaded gun at their head forcing them to keep their money in the stock market?
Have some of them come to believe that the ROI of recent times will continue without some serious contractions over time?
On the other hand, on average, an investor is going to see a better ROI from the stock market than they will from housing. Then again, we can't live in our portfolios.
