Former Indiana Congressman Chris Chocola has a great write up on Human Events about the colossal fail that was President Obama’s “jobs summit”.

It was a foregone conclusion that the nation ignored the White House’s “Jobs Summit” last Thursday. Even the presidents’ allies acknowledged the afternoon confab of friendly CEOs, labor bosses, and economists was a publicity stunt. And so it was.

But if you watched cable news at all that day, you probably saw live interviews of administration officials repeating a new and not unwelcome talking point from the Obama White House. Both the vice president and president made the point in their opening remarks.

Biden: “[The government] can help create the conditions that make for a stronger economy, make a stronger economy possible. But it’s you, all of you in this audience here, who are in the position to make it a reality.”

Obama: “While I believe that government has a critical role in creating the conditions for economic growth, ultimately true economic recovery is only going to come from the private sector.”

A pro-growth, economic conservative could hardly wish for a more market-oriented, downright supply-side perspective, especially from the authors of the stimulus, cap-and-trade, ObamaCare, and the Detroit takeovers. The White House’s most disciplined spokesmen left it there. Alas, though Messrs. Biden and Obama are many things, disciplined spokesman they are not.

Congressman Chocola now runs the Club for Growth which is a fiscal watchdog group in Washington D.C. Read more of Congressman Chocola’s write up at Human Events, here.
