Obama's Job Summit is a joke. It's all show and no substance, like Obama himself. If he was serious he would get down to business with leaders of big corporations and owners of small businesses of various sizes, all having jobs in the private sector. Instead, Obama also invited politicians, community organizing group leaders and union leaders.
1. Professional politicians, particularly Democrats, don't understand free markets and capitalism; most have been feeding at the public trough for years, if not their entire career.
2. Community groups for the most part represent poor or lower middle class people who don't create, but need, jobs or need government assistance. They might be happy with government make-work jobs that do not create wealth and are not long lived.
3. Unions for the most part don't create jobs and those jobs that they create are not economically necessary jobs; they pressure corporations for work rules that lend to inefficiencies and thus extra hires and unions forestall technology that will lower cost, make U.S. corporations more competitive but perhaps cost jobs in the short run.
Of course, Obama never having worked in the private sector( except as a civil rights attorney) has no experience or knowledge. He just wants photo ops and a chance to pander to his constituency in unions and community groups.
