President Barack Obama met with the nation’s top CEO’s. economists, small business and union leaders in an extended brainstorming session regarding job creation.

The President said he'd heard many "exciting ideas and proposals" at a White House sponsored jobs forum and is looking forward to putting some of them into effect immediately.

President Obama had encouraged his audience to assist him in brainstorming new and innovative ideas for job creation stressing  that he wanted "biggest bang for the buck."

In addition to helpful suggestions from participants he also received a significant amount of criticism from the right wing in terms of his previous efforts for creating jobs and his plans for the future.

“Digging ourselves out of the hold we have dug into is not going to be easy,” he said.

“Moving forward on an aggressive agenda for energy efficiency and weatherization,” has topped the list of suggestions the President believes America can begin working on at present.

Recent statistics from the Labor Department reveal something must be done with a 10.2 percent unemployment rate, the worst the nation has seen since the Great Depression.
