Over the weekend White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett dismissed talk of a second stimulus but then went on to describe several measures aimed at creating jobs.

Last week House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that House Democrats would host an economic forum, “focusing specifically on the creation of jobs.”

And recently the White House invited Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid over to discuss ways to promote job growth.

"The president, leader Reid, and I all agree that we must respond to the urgent need to promote the creation of good jobs, rebuild our work force,” Speaker Pelosi told reporters after the White House meeting.

But haven’t the Democrats insisted all along that the recovery act passed in February has been creating jobs?

Despite their best attempts to convince Americans otherwise, Democrats must see what we see in the government’s monthly job reports, that the “stimulus” is not stimulating job growth.

Any true economic stimulus measures aimed at job creation may have to wait however until the president takes a break from the campaign trail.

Today The Hill reports: “Though the president and his advisers continue to look for ways to create jobs in a woeful economy, reform healthcare and devise and implement a strategy for the war in Afghanistan, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are increasingly staying busy working to keep Democrats in office.”
