THE ONLY JOBS OBAMA IS CONCERNED WITH ARE THOSE OF HIS CRIMINAL BANKSTER DONORS! THEY KEEP THEIRS AND DON’T GO TO PRISON!
WHILE OBAMA HAS BEEN IN OFFICE, OUR BORDERS HAVE BEEN OPENED WIDER AND MOST JOBS AROUND THE COUNTRY GO TO ILLEGALS!

But Obama is NOT ignoring LA RAZA demands for jobs for illegals!

Obama ignores worsening jobs crisis
By Jerry White

8 June 2011
President Obama dismissed concerns over last week’s disastrous jobs report and warnings of a possible double-dip recession during a joint White House press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel Tuesday.
The president suggested the figures―which showed an increase in the national jobless rate rising 9.0 to 9.1 percent in May and the average length of unemployment reaching a record high of nearly 40 weeks―were an anomaly. “Economic data which in better times would go without comment now makes people wonder are we going to go back to a terrible crisis,” he complained.
“We are going to have some days when things aren’t going as well as we like,” he said, but claimed the country nonetheless was in a “recovery,” pointing to the creation of two million jobs by the private sector and the rebound of the US auto industry.

“We could cut unemployment in half simply by reclaiming the jobs taken by illegal workers,” said Representative Lamar Smith of Texas, co-chairman of the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. “President Obama is on the wrong side of the American people on immigration. The president should support policies that help citizens and legal immigrants find the jobs they need and deserve rather than fail to enforce immigration laws.”

Is Obama sacrificing U.S. workers on Big Labor’s altar?

One problem: It is now June 8, 2011, and the South Korea trade deal has not even been submitted by President Obama to Congress.
That’s December, January, February, March, April, May and now June — six full months — half a year — since Obama made his bold statement. For some reason, the president has not gotten around to sending the agreement to the U.S. Senate for approval.
Is it because the employment situation has improved so dramatically in the U.S. that we don’t need the new jobs that the president claims will be created?
Is it because our economic recovery is so astoundingly out of control that the Federal Reserve is raising interest rates to cool it off?
No?
The only reason that the president is not submitting HIS free trade agreement with South Korea is because his labor union allies are demanding the expansion of a government program to provide billions of dollars to their members for retraining.
Either the agreement that Obama negotiated and signed is good for the economy or it isn’t. His failure to submit the South Korea Free Trade Agreement to the U.S. Senate for ratification is either an indication that he was not telling the truth when he boldly proclaimed that the trade pact was good for American jobs, or we have to conclude that he cares more about his labor union campaign funders than the American worker.
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R) of Utah has urged the president to get off the pot and submit the South Korea, Colombia and Panama free trade agreements that Obama inherited from the Bush administration to the Senate for consideration without any strings attached.
I agree.
It is time to stop holding American workers hostage by attaching spending schemes designed to benefit Obama’s political allies to the agreements and allow the Senate to ratify the South Korea, Colombia and Panama agreements.
It is time for America to welcome these important allies as equal trade partners rather than continuing to relegate them to second-class status to appease political bosses who are more concerned with protecting what they have than growing a 21st-century American economy.
