Speaking of long-term unemployment, how is the president’s laser-like focus on jobs holding up? He’s so focused, he had to shut down his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness so as not to be distracted by all of those meetings. No, those shovel-ready jobs weren’t quite as shovel-ready as expected (or promised), but that’s no reason to blame the president.

@GOPBlackChick It's your GOP pals who refuse to let the gov put people back to work on our decimated infrastructure. Read a paper sometime.

Yes, we meant to ask about that “decimated infrastructure.” We remember something about “70,000 structurally deficient bridges across the country” from the State of the Union speech. Is that where the $800 billion from the stimulus went?

@BetteMidler @GOPBlackChick why isn't Obamas policies working? He said that jobs was going to be his focus – just another lie!!!

@BetteMidler @GOPBlackChick Govt needs to stop sucking $$ out of the economy so businesses can hire. Infrastructure also isn't decimated.

@JasonBWhitman If only we'd spent $800b or so on "shovel-ready" proijects a few years ago we could be out of this mess. #Wait @BetteMidler

@BetteMidler @gopblackchick I just lost my job when co moved to new state. One reason? Tax & reg driving costs. Who raises tax & loves regs?

@BetteMidler you DO realize that the pres. is mainly responsible for low interest rates that lead to zero recovery, right?
— General Cusswords (@yaycapitalism) May 4, 2013
@BetteMidler not to mention it's the Fed that keeps pumping up the stock market through bond purchases. Obama is for the rich.

@BetteMidler Banks? GOP pals? Quick! Who's yr Obamessiah's new Commerce Sec'y? Know anything abt her? Read a paper sometime. @GOPBlackChick

Hi @BetteMidler. A robust PRIVATE SECTOR with lower taxes & fewer regs will then mean more $$ to public sector to fix the infrastructure.

@Tark31 @bettemidler How's the infrastructure in Canada look when you and your #SAG pals are shooting movies there?

Here’s a movie made right here in America; it’s a sort of tragi-comedy.
Hey @BetteMidler remember when Pelosi said Obamacare would create 400,000 jobs immediately? Good times. http://t.co/fH2cnmkZ4f
