In panic over jobs, Dems detour from health care

Once again, Byron York has outed this Administration for what they are doing. This facade of a "Job Summit" is not going to increase jobs unless they are like the ones previous listed for Congressional Districts that do not exist. One key group being left out is Small Business, but since most of them are not Obama donors, we are not surprised.

This so called "Job Summit" should be called the Obama Donor Summit. The people who helped lead the Country into this mess with their agenda to take over sectors of private enterprise starting with banks are the same Obama Donors at the "Job Summit." That does not instill confidence that anything will come out of all the rhetoric we are hearing today.

There's a reason Barack Obama squeezed a hastily-arranged "Jobs Summit" into a White House schedule dominated by national health care and Afghanistan. You can find it on every page of "The Economy and Politics of 2010," a new survey of voter attitudes circulating among Democrats that, despite its dry title, betrays a sense of dread and horror among party strategists hoping to avoid defeat in next year's mid-term elections.

The report is the work of Democracy Corps, the influential polling organization run by Democraic strategists James Carville and Stanley Greenberg. The two men found voters are nearly beside themselves about unemployment, angry about the deficit, pessimistic about the future, and in a mood to punish Democrats if things don't get better soon. "This is about the economy, and it's not pretty," they write.
Most ominous for Democrats is the rise in the number of people who believe the country is on the wrong track. That number grew steadily through the later Bush years, reaching a high of 85 percent just before last November's elections. But with Obama's win, discontent began to subside. By inauguration day, the number was 66 percent. By March, it was 56 percent, and by May it was 46 percent. It was a remarkable turnaround, attributable mostly to the new president.
