President Barack Obama is creating a White House council to handle issues that affect American communities and workers tied to the automotive industry.
The White House says Obama will sign an executive order Tuesday to establish the White House Council on Automotive Communities and Workers. The council will be chaired by the president's economic adviser, Larry Summers, and his labor secretary, Hilda Solis.
The executive director will be Obama's director of recovery for auto communities and workers, Ed Montgomery.
Vice President Joe Biden is traveling to Perrysburg, Ohio, to announce the committee's creation.
The recession has been particularly hard on the auto industry, which has lost more than 400,000 jobs in the last decade.
I reckon all these 'council' members will need secretaries, PR flaks, assistants, chauffeurs, and more, so maybe this is the answer to the recession, get everybody and their brother in law working for the gob'mint!!!
I wonder if the next step, will be to appoint a 'Council Czar' to ride herd on the councils, and then perhaps, a 'Council Council' , to provide guidance as to the progress of the Councils?
BTW, traveling to Ohio to announce the new council is gonna be some pretty heavy lifting for Joltin' Joe Biden ain't it? Wonder if he can handle it without screwing it up?
