“Jobs” summit…isn’t

Question: Since over 70% of the jobs in this country are provided by small businesses, wouldn’t it make sense to invite the largest representatives of small businesses to a so-called “jobs summit”?

Of course it would make sense.  And that’s why the economic illiterate in the Oval Office didn’t bring them to the “summit”.  Details:

As noted by the Washington Times‘s Kara Rowland, the list of summit attendees “lacks a diversity of opinion.” Labor unions and liberal economists, who supported Obama’s election and the stimulus bill, are among the honored guests. Not on the list? The largest business organization in the country, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, with whom the White House has engaged in a public feud, and the National Federation of Independent Business.

Unions don’t provide jobs…they destroy the companies that provide them (see Government Motors and Chrysler, among others).  SEIU, the thug arm of the child sex trafficking abetters at ACORN, is in attendance.  What SEIU has to contribute to job creation is anyone’s guess.

As for the handful of private companies that are there, I’m sure it’s just a great big ol’ coinkidink that they were nearly all prominent B.O. donors and supporters.

This isn’t a “jobs summit”, people.  It’s an echo chamber.
