In July 2010 President Barack Obama promised suffering Americans:
“I will not rest until everyone American who is able, and ready and willing to work can find a job. And a job that pays a decent wage and has decent benefits to support a family.”

It was just words.
In fact, despite serving as president during the “Greatest Recession since the Great Depression” Barack Obama has spent more time on the golf course than in economic meetings.

The Government Accountability Institute conducted an analysis of how much time President Barack Obama has spent in economic meetings of any kind, as recorded the White House official calendar and Politico’s comprehensive calendar. They covered the president’s first 1,257 days in office.
Key findings include:

• President Obama has spent less than 4 percent of his total time in economic meetings or briefings of any kind (assuming a six day, 10-hour workweek)

• President Obama has spent 412 hours (or forty-one 10-hour workdays) in economic meetings or briefings of any kind

• There were 773 days (72 percent), excluding Sundays, in which the President no economic meetings

• Throughout his presidency, President Obama has spent an average of 138 minutes a week in economic meetings

• In 2012, President Obama has spent 24 total hours in economic meetings kind

    I have come to the conclusion he doesn’t want his administration to know just how naive he really is when it comes to fixing Americans Problems. I also believe, he is leaving it up to his advisers and those in his administration to do his work for him.

    He is one of the most deceiving and cunning of any president in our history. I would love to see all his school records, from grade school to college. There is something that just isn’t clicking because no president can get by with all Obama has without some real repercussions.

    For this we should all be grateful. There is no telling just what level of disaster we’d be facing if he actually were to concentrate on the economy, given his leftist worldview.

    I’m not so sure Comrade Barry spends all of that time actually playing golf. I am quite certain that he’s conferring with others (meaning Soros, et al) over his customized Blackberry, isolated on the links where no one can eavesdrop.

    I have an excuse!

    I was goofing-off… er, golfing. That is it golfing!

    I am not interested in building the economy I am interested in wrecking it!

    I want all people in each of the 57 states to become dependent on Food Stamps! Better yet, I recommend getting on SSI disability… before it goes completely broke!

    I am a Harvard Law graduate. I don’t need to attend economic meetings. I attend the “Skull n Crossbones Crony Capitalism” meetings. These meeting are for the rich and sleazy limousine liberals.

    We plan how to divert Taxpayer money into our pockets. We plan how the next “bailout” will be divided among us. We plan to empty the bailout company’s coffers before the bankruptcy occurs. We plan the excuses in the OP Ed pages of the New York Times.

    Crony Capitalism did not succeed on its own. Someone else helped. That someone was me and my cronies!

    My Campaign Bus did not run out of fuel on its own. So, someone helped. Hence, someone else must pay for more fuel. David Axelrod has a new scam to play on my Union donors. It’s called squeezing the cream from the Bull. I hope this one works!

    Besides, the Unions always vote for me. I say screw them and take their money! I cannot answer any more questions. Good day.

    Not shocking news. What does he bring to an economic or jobs meeting? The guy has no experience in anything. He was put there to create class warfare and increase racial tensions. He gets an A + for that. He is using the same speaches he used in 2008. Just the other day he went with the “Their way got us into this mess” line. And he has half the vote locked up. It is disgusting.
