From Politico: "Obama Jobs Council hits 1 year without official meeting"
Remember ALL those campaign promises about ginning up the economy and helping the jobless find work? He doesn't...
"President Barack Obama's Jobs Council hit a notable milestone on Thursday: one year without an official meeting. The 26-member panel is also set to expire at the end of the month, unless Obama extends its tenure.
...
The group, formally known as the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, last convened on Jan. 17, 2012 for a White House session where it presented formal recommendations to Obama. It was the panel's fourth official meeting since it was created in early 2011.
A spokesman for Jobs Council chairman Jeffrey Immelt, who's the CEO of General Electric, referred questions about the panel's future to the White House.
A White House spokeswoman had no comment Thursday."
Of course this council hasn't been idle -- they've had "private" conference calls, "listening and action" events to get the public's opinion. But, if they don't meet with the guy behind the Big Desk, what's going to get done? ZIP!!!
