So earlier this year the president asked private sector leaders to work on this problem solving issue. According the the article, they presented their approach back on June 13th.
QUOTE We've been at work for the past 90 days to develop recommendations for a series of immediate, actionable steps to accelerate job creation.
QUOTE No single idea, however well-conceived, will solve our nation's employment challenge. So we're taking a comprehensive approach with eight teams focused on specific areas such as skills and training, regulatory reform, and innovation. We analyzed which actions are critical to accelerating job growth in high-potential sectors, while also addressing areas of concentrated unemployment. We believe that the following "fast-action" steps can support the creation of more than one million jobs within these industries. So they recommended several actions to be taken up immediately. 
QUOTE Over the next 90 days, we will turn to addressing the actions needed to make a more significant, longer-term impact. OK, there's the actions to be addressed after Labor Day (90 days) but where is the short term immediate actions? They said the short term recommendations required no legislative action so Obama wouldn't have to wait for Congress to return. At least that's the way I read it.
Recommendations:
Train workers for today's open jobs
Streamline permitting (cut red tape)
Boost jobs in travel and tourism
Facilitate small-business loans
Put construction workers back to work
School has already started by Labor Day. Tourism begins to slow after summer, it takes time to facilitate loans through the SBA and the construction season is now nearly over in the upper half of the country by Labor Day. So why not the immediate actions they gave him? I understand that the government needs to analyze these points before implementation. They certainly can't just go by the analogies of private business.
I can foresee that putting construction workers back on the job will mean that the administration will find more public works to do (aka government jobs) Obama may have been on the right track in forming these teams, but it seems he has failed to follow through with the recommendations they made.

Legislation is still needed, just not major legislation that would take a long time!!
Do you think Republicans will be up to the task or will they try to block any jobs legislation?

General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha, Wis., to Beijing. In addition to moving the headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last year, but paid no taxes-the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the united States.
So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt is supposed to help create jobs.

I guess the President forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs.
If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what does.

The world's a gold mine. You just have to know to see it. Your brain must be different.
If we put together farmland with Chinese investors. They could own the land and the farmer could work it for nearly free. We could put together packages with a local delegation to sell at about $8000 an acre. The people or locals farmer can cash out all equity in their land yet still retain the same lifestyle. The Chinese only own the land as an investment.
This would free up hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent by our local friends and neighbors. It would help everyone. It's what could have done in the early 80's with Japan but you were all too biased and well...kind of rascist, let's be honest.
Let's not make the same mistake twice.

Do you support what GE is doing then? It seems you are giving Obama a pass on this. Now you're sounding like a capitalist.
Oh, Lib. Done fishing.

So do you think over regulating the private sector is the answer? I remember hearing that our government enacted over 600 regulations in the month of June alone.
I do agree with you though that everyone needs to work together. And that is the job of our fearless leader which he is not doing. One only needs to look at the type of health care reform he shoved down our throats that nobody wanted.

I do think we need regulations on teabaggers that throw around figures like 600 regulations in a month..
