Pic: President Empty Chair meets with the White House Jobs Council

That. Was. Beautiful.

After Clint Eastwood dressed down an empty chair occupied by Invisible Obama, the president responded with “This seat’s taken.” The National Republican Senatorial Committee bit back with a resounding “BOOM!”

It’s been over 227 days since President Obama has met with his jobs council. Add to that the over 1,200 days since Senate Democrats have passed a budget and it is no wonder we are facing an unprecedented jobs and debt crisis.
