Obama: We have a long way to go on jobs

"The economy as a whole just isn't producing nearly enough jobs for everybody who's looking," Obama said in prepared comments in the White House Rose Garden. He cited "tough headwinds" that are exerting a drag on the economy, including natural disasters, high gas prices, economic turmoil in Europe, and state and local government budget cuts.

The Labor Department reported this morning that the unemployment rate ticked up to 9.2 percent last month, with the economy adding just 18,000 jobs -- even fewer than May's paltry revised figure of 25,000.

But wait! we were told all about shovel ready jobs!

It's really starting to annoy me how often I hear the word "jobs" come out of virtually every politicians mouth these days. Politicians have nothing to do with job creation.

The entrepreneurs on the show "Sharks Tank" create more jobs in 1 episode than any government ever has in it's entire existence.

The government talks about jobs like it's its responsibility to create them. Get rid of all taxation and economic regulations, and we'll see how well the economy fares.
