We're in the Best of Hands… Obama Meets With Al Sharpton to Discuss Jobs Creation
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, February 10, 2010, 6:15 AM
And, we wonder why we have a 9.7% unemployment rate?
President Obama will seek advice from race hustler Al Sharpton today on how to create or save American jobs.
The Hill reported, via FOX Nation:
President Obama will discuss jobs and the economy with black leaders tomorrow, including the Rev. Al Sharpton.
This will be Sharpton’s second official trip to the White House. He visited the Oval Office last year to discuss education with Michael Bloomberg and Newt Gingrich.
Also in tomorrow’s meeting will be Benjamin Jealous, President of the NAACP, Marc H. Moiral, President and CEO of the National Urban Leavue, and Dr. Dorothy I Height, chairwoman of the National Council of Negro Women.

Sharpton sure had an impact on jobs at Freddie’s Fashion Mart, huh?
shibumi commented:
Gee, another giant waste of time, what a shocker. Who has Al Sharpton etc. ever created a job for, outside of his cadre of lawyers?
I’m also surprised he didn’t invite all the ‘african America’ captains of industry as well.
Are there any ‘african American’ captains of industry?
Yes, I’m aware that’s a racist comment.

WTF?
Sorry, but what is he doing?
BackwardsBoy commented:
What a waste of time! I’ve forgotten more about business than The Right Reverend will ever know.
However, if Obama wants to understand boycotts and shakedowns, he’s asking the right guy.
We’re paying an extremely high price for Obama’s inexperience and ignorance.
sue commented:
Al Sharpton and black leaders? We’ll just as long as there is a meeting following this one with “White Leaders”. Should we scream RACISM? I think so.
Pat the First commented:
2 words . . . Tawana Brawley.
Sharpton should have been totally disgraced years ago.
Gini commented:
Please tell me this is a joke!
Finncrisp commented:
1) Unemployment is not 9.7%, in fact now, that they have ginned up the numbers, we probably won’t know what it is for awhile.
2) Al and his collegues will likely want to set out another trough for thier public to feed from during these tough times.
3) What they really should be discussing is how to raise the graduation rates among their students to increase the chance they would actually be qualified for good jobs.
Righard Bagg commented:
More TNB. What if anything other than racial preferential treatment will this joke of a meeting accomplish?? Why offer more work to blacks when they already have a government income consisting of Section 8, welfare, foodstamps, apefirmative action? I’ve just about had my fill of this openly racist administration….
Mike in VA commented:
The “employer” they will be talking about is ACORN
Marie commented:
Now lets give Reverand Al the credit that he deserves. He did create an entire industry out of race hustling. I am sure that created at lease a dozen jobs. Somewhere.
kmacwayne commented:
If they are talking about jobs – and specifically it seems about jobs for black Americans, why didn’t they invite
Harry C. Alford
President & CEO
National Black Chamber of Commerce
President Obama and this administration is not interested in real solutions to hard problems because he does not seek truth – he seeks agendas.

Indeed..good points you make..
Obama meeting with Sharpton & hacks.. like a snake oil salesman slithering on his belly with the snake.. more bread and circuses while America twists in the wind.. can hardly wait for November.. we won’t get fooled again.
seven commented:
Obama is racist. I think this meeting is needed. I also Know sharpton won’t demand Obama answer why so incredibly many black men are unemployed. Blacks voted for Obama and are doing several times worse in job loss.

He is transforming us into highly motivated voters that will turn them all out of power.
How’s that Poke and Harrangue working out for you now?

Say what you will about that silver-tongued devil. When he needs expert opinion he will consult the best.
That Sharpton is a job creating genius.
NOT!!!

As for Twanna, the police acted stupidly.
Is Jessie still gonna cut balls for talking down on a brotha?
IOpian commented:
What a waste of effort to focus on 12% of the population. Most of the people that follow Sharpton don’t have real jobs in the first place. If they do then it is likely a subsidized make-work job with entities like ACORN to support hustlers like Sharpton when he is shaking down those who do work. His ‘thug corps’.
Watney commented:
Al Sharpton at a jobs meeting? It’s impossible to keep up with Mr. Obama. One tries to write a parody only to have him trump it in fact. I’m about to give up. Hilarious except for the inevitable poisonous rent seeking and race baiting that is sure to occur.
David Johnson commented:
It has to succeed. Think about it, one light-skinned black man who doesn’t speak in Negro dialect (he can if he wants to, but not this time) speaking with a light-skinned black man who does speak in Negro dialect. It is a perfect match, it will sync up everything and jobs will flourish throughout our great land. Of course, if Jesse hears that he’s been left out he may attempt to cut Barack’s balls out (again).

God help us. Is there anyone in the U.S.A. who believes this will help? BHO might as well be consulting with BO the dog.
Espresso Logic - The 6th Sense commented:
WTF? I see stupid presidents.
maverick muse commented:
Al Sharpton has the worst record as a corrupt fraud promoting the worst racism in America, and Obama the attorney whose professional record provides fraud with legal fronts joins forces from the White House.
Wasn’t conning the public with fabricated JOBS supposed to be the new PR “Sheriff Joe” Biden’s responsibility?
Anyone seen Biden lately?
maverick muse commented:
Investigative journalists would expose the progression from Obama’s promotion of the New Black Panthers with legal protection from proper prosecution already on record via Justice Dept. AG Holder et al. into now creating jobs for his private army of Marxist thugs with Al Sharpton “in charge”.
/Meanwhile, Michelle Obama calls obesity a threat to national security. What a stupid and non-effective distraction.
Militant Conservative commented:
Race does not scare me, That dog doesn’t hunt anymore. Just means my arguement is hitting home. Look, Americans that are Black, you are allowing yourself to be used in the worst way. The only one holding you back is YOU. Earn your keep, if you have your hand out I’ll shake it but no more welfare checks for deadbeats. Get off you duff and work or starve.
Rocks commented:
I can see the conversation now:
Al: Okay here’s what you do Mr. President. You get a bunch of your people together and picket. Make sure the press cover it. When the Press have put enough pressure on you get a meeting with The Man. At the meeting you tell The Man to give you some money or you will do this every day for a year. The Man coughs up the cash. Unmarked bills, nothing over a fifty.You give half to your people and keep half for yourself. Move on to the next place. Sweet and it works almost every time.
Barry: But Al I’m The Man!
Al: Oh yeah. Well I can’t really help you then. I gotta go. We are picketing the White House tomorrow. Good luck bro.
TB commented:
At first glance I would think this meeting is about race and not jobs since the ticket to get you in the meeting is your skin color, not your particular knowledge/ability about job creation.
Hey, but what do I know. I’m snowed in and couldn’t get to the meeting anyway.
Ladue Pundit commented:
Yesterday Obama said that small businesses need loans to pay their employees.
As the tax preparer for several businesses, small and otherwise, I can say that when businesses cannot pay their employees, it is because the business is not generating revenue, and the employees are not needed. They are laid off.
With workers losing jobs and trying to hang onto their homes, people do not have the disposable income to purchase much else. The circular exchange of money for goods and services is grinding to a halt. Inventories will not be replenished. Workers will not be hired.
What our president doesn’t realize is that a high tide raises all boats. The private sector is staring down tax increases and more regulations. They are saying “no more.” There is a climate of fear among entrepreneurs, wondering what will come next from this administration.
The government cannot fix “jobs” by borrowing money, money which comes from taxes levied on generations of its citizens, and dumping it into a public trough before skimming off its “overhead.”
palmpilot commented:
I know I’m not the only one that sees this as racist…why is Obama only meeting with black leaders when every other race is dealing with unemployment as well? Can we add transcending race as another Obama campaign lie?
USMC commented:
Read another way:
He’s losing the black vote. The unemployment is higher among blacks. He’s losing them.
Imagine, the DNC has decimated the black family and now many are dependent on the government and any who free themselves are called “sell outs”, etc.
Now their “guy is running things” and things are exponentially worse?
Rejoice folks the Progressive System is collapsing!

The guest list is very interesting.
I would think that Dear Leader has saved/created a bunch of jobs in the “Big Victim” industry.
The only logical discussion topic for this group would be further destruction of the private sector.
Peoples Front of Judea commented:
Sharpton? Didn’t he play a character named “ReRun”, in a 70′s sitcom?
Clown!
MWTexas commented:
If he’s wanting to talk about jobs, why is he meeting with people who made careers out of avoiding honest work?
Corporal Vere commented:
I suppose Sharpton is about equally as qualified as the idiots Obama has working at destroying America.

averagemelon commented:
Does Obama know ANYONE who is competent at ANYTHING besides theft?
Who the hell is the ACLU to be involved with job creation at all let alone an invite to our White House?
Everything smells to high heaven. Even God is wrinkling His nose.
Ginger commented:
Sharpton has NEVER had a job of his own so how would he know how to give advice! hehehehe
Major Kong commented:
Well, the one thing this country is woefully short of is community organizers.
Jo commented:
Al Sharpton admits he plays the race card for political ( financial gain). He is honest with that. So why is the Bozo introducing racism to America then by inviting the race baitor and racist Al Sharpton? Maybe Obama accepts he is a black Kenyan and to hell with the white people. If Bozo would go away, we could fix the economy ourselves. He meddles consistently, that stupid mental problem he has really suckxs!

That would be a safe assumption.

Exactly what does Sharpton know about jobs?
Nada.

Sharpton…jobs…???
Wuhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
There’s only so many race baiting, hustler jobs available nowadays and you can sure bet– he ain’t giving his up!
eaglewingz08 commented:
Yes Al Sharpton who was responsible through his rhetoric for the arsoning of Freddie’s in Harlem, which caused the death and unemployment of about a dozen people is now the go to guy for employment policies for Mr. Knowbama it All. Could anyone with a straight face call any of these people knowledgeable on job creation? I mean why would one call in the CEO of Walmart, or Steve Forbes, or Steve Wynn or the head of Whole Foods or Warren Buffet, who created millions upon millions of jobs? I mean they know nothing compared to the racial arsonists who met with Obama. I mean Obama’s community organizing probably created more jobs than anyone else in the Illinois business community during that three year period.
