Washington Times: Critics not invited to White House's 'jobs summit'
Topics: Political News and commentariesNo room at the White House for dissenters, it's only for Obama supporters. No opposing views allowed.
Facing rising unemployment rates and having seen uncertain results from the stimulus bill, President Obama is hosting a "jobs summit" at the White House Thursday that will be packed with business leaders and economists supportive of White House policies but lacks a diversity of opinion, several analysts say.Why am I not surprised! Obama seems to forget that America is not Chicago, and vice versa.Missing from a partial list of attendees released by the White House are the self-proclaimed voices of business - the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business - both of which have been critical of Mr. Obama's proposed health care overhaul.
Confirmed attendees include liberal economists credited with shaping the $787 billion stimulus package, union leaders, environmental advocates and executives from Google and other blue-chip firms.
