They were barred from the summit, despite being Obama’s biggest critic on economics.
Obama’s security obviously sucks.
And they represent a very large part of private sector voices.

It has been a Republican talking point for years that small business creates jobs that is why low personal income tax rates are so important. "We aren’t the party of small business, but rather the party of small business." The Chamber of Commerce represents the biggest of businesses whose interests are exactly opposed to the interests of small business the ones that are going to create jobs. Obama met with small business folks. Those are the important ones.

Besides if the Chamber of Commerce really wanted to do business with Democrats, they should stop their climate change denials and donating so much money to the Republican party.

Saying that his term as Chief Justice was better or that he accomplished more in it isn’t good.

Taft’s dream was to be in the supreme court, he never wanted to be President. so when he became chief Justice it is like christmas.*

These two organizations represent businesses that create 75% of the new jobs that aren’t paid for by taxpayer money. They also employ about 60% of the people working today.

It would be just a guess– They got the cold shoulder because they didn’t back the current Health Care Reform in Congress. But then they also don’t back Card Check and Cap a trade.

With those three bills in the works and everyone of them is a potential job killer. You have to wonder how long the folks in Washington DC are going to ignore the small business owners and continue to pander to big businesses.

Its a farce. The job summit is a farce and ultimately Obama and his cronies want to keep unemployment high because it will lead to more uninsured people and garner further support for his plan to reform health care and grow the nanny state. You cannot legitimately have a job summit without inviting representatives from the groups that employ the majority of americans.

Hi,
I am a senior in high school, just recently I took the ACTs in June and scored a 29 (10 writing), I thought i really needed to improve this score, and went to take them again in October and then i scored a 28 composite (writing not yet known), this makes little sense to me how I could go down in a score, but that is besides the point. I have also taken 3 SAT II test, in Math I – 640, in Math II – 660, in Biology – 770. I have just taken the SATs for the first time ( my mothers fault on that one), and I do not yet know the score.
In more information, I have or will have taken 11 AP classes, 1 sophomore, 5 Junior, 5 Senior, and a College Course through Pitt University in Computer Programming that is weighted as an AP course. My entire senior schedule consist of AP/ College Course, and the standard curriculum that every student is required to take ( Home Ec./ Gym) . My Quarterly Weighted GPA is a 4.85, I do not know what my current cumulative GPA for weighted or unweighted is at the moment ( school is having computer problems switching to a knew software), but from last year it was a 4.178 weighted . My AP scores are 5, 5 , 4, 4 ,4, 4, with 5 more grades to come in July of this year. I have also taken all the AP courses my school will allow me to take ( they don’t offer anymore, hence the reason I moved onto a College Course at Pitt), I am first in my class out of 283, a position I am trailing the second in class.
For extra-curricular, In 9th grade, I participated in two school plays, and a musical, I also ran Cross Country-Junior Varsity, and Track – Junior Varsity, I also did Senior Marching Band ( Drum Line). I did Forensics ( speaking competitions) in which I have first, second and 6th place awards. I was also a member of the school Student Council, and organized a school pep rally by myself. I was also the Treasurer of my county 4-H Club, which was and is the bulk of my community service. I also participated in my Church Orchestra, Church Hand-bell Choir, Church Youth Group ( I was on the council), and I did Spirit Band ( Junior High Band) on the side.
In tenth grade, I took on the only AP Class that tenth graders at my school are allowed to take, which was AP U.S. History, which came with an extremely accelerated special English Course( required to take AP U.S. History. I also participated in Senior High Marching Band, Cross Country-Varsity, Track and Field-Varsity, Mock Trial, Science Olympiad, School Orchestra, I also had skipped a year of German over the summer so I was placed in German IV this year. And I began a self-taught course in French. I participated again, in Church Orchestra, Church Hand-bell, and Church Youth (they abolished the council this year ). I was also a member of the Schools S.G.A. (student government association) in which I was elected to be the 10th Grade Representative on the Executive Chamber. I again participated in 4-H as the Vice-President of my club. That year 4 members of my club, including myself( i was the youngest at 14), competed at the state level in a forestry competition, and proceeded to move on to the National level, coming in 4th place.
My 11th grade year, I dropped many of my extra-curricular due to a massive increase in course rigor. I took 5 AP classes ( Stats, Calc I ( three years ahead the normal student of our school), Biology, Euro, and Computer Sciences) . I also moved to German V the highest level of any language one can go to at my school and reserved for seniors ( I was an exception). In the realm of extra-curricular, I partook in Senior High Marching Band, Wind Ensemble ( the elite band of our school, requires tryouts), Orchestra, Mock Trial (attorney), Forensics, Science Olympiad ( Second Place medal in ecology ),Church Youth, and S.G.A.. I was also nominated to hold a position on a Committee of the School Board to determine the new School Outlook Program for the next decade, which I held for the duration of the year. I was elected to the Presidency of the 4-H club, I was also elected 4-H Ambassador for the County ( one of the highest positions one can hold at the county level). I participated in English Festival for the first time and Scholastic Scrimmage (TV Game Show) and Quiz Bowl. I ended this year by trying out and being named Head/ Executive Drum Major ( tryouts required, I had two assistant Drum Majors ) for the Senior High Marching Band.
This year now, as I have stated, I am taking 5 more AP classes, with another College Course. The APs are Gov, Calc II, Chemistry, Physics B, and English and Composition, the college course as previously stated is 2-3 year ( im not sure ) level at Pitt University. For extra-curricular, I am engaged in the Senior High Marching Band ( Head/Exec. Drum Major ), Mock Trial (attorney ), I am considering starting to run again ( i ended up quitting in 11 grade due to asthma problems ). I also participate in my Church Youth, I will be starting back with my
this should end with, " I will start back with my Church Orchestra soon, I have considered running again, I will also be participating in most of the activities that I did in previous years again. I have little job experience, only recreational soccer referee in 9th,10th and 11th grade.
In my free time I enjoy perspective drawing, painting, and composing for the organ ( which I play ). I am also writing two novels for my friends ( half of one is in french, the other is my memoirs ). I hope to have these finished before I apply, but I don’t know if i will have the time I’m about 100 pages into each. So what are the honest chances of me getting into Brown or U-Penn or any Ivy League for Business and English for that matter.

wow dude, Ur school freakin rocks…
i am sooo heavily restrained and limited by my school and what it offers…
there is noo science olympiad or any competition,,
We onlyl have calc 1 and physics A…–it freakin sucks!!!!
so right now im just jealous of you and the great opporutnities that you have had,,i hope u are aware of that..

but, i think u have an average chance,,if you nearly ace your SAT then you will have a great chance!! good luck and be greatful for all the things u were able to do that many many other schools cant do

or is there somewhere I can buy an airtight chamber?

Its going to hold approximately 9 pea plants inside of it.

how large? does it have to be transparent? Is the inside under positive pressure? how much?

How do you plan on maintaining the relative humidity at the proper level? How do you plan on watering the plants?

If the interior is not under pressure:

A glass aquarium tank is one possibility, they come in all sizes, just get a sheet of glass or plastic to cover the top. a little caulk between it and the tank will make it airtight and watertight. But if you will need frequent access to the interior, you can use a sheet of plastic and some sort of rubber gasket for a fairly good seal.

what is a hyperbaric chamber

Wow, Wiki is amazing…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbaric_chamber

Why is he getting input from the Chamber of Commerce to write his new immigration proposals? I thought Ted Kennedy was a labor man? Why isn’t he getting input from the labor unions?
Is Ted Kennedy part of the humanitarian liberal/labor exploitive capitalist, globalization at all cost, coalition? Is he like the little Gingerbread Boy, jumping on the Fox’s nose to cross the river?
Remember the last line of that fairy tale: "And after that, the little Gingerbread Boy never said anything more at all."?
Wow Fraginal, way to answer a question, without answering a question.
Is that what you really believe timo? You actually believe that the Chamber of Commerce is "swimming in red ink"? I happen to believe that the middle class is swimming in red ink. And I know, without a doubt, that illegal immigration is not going to help that situation. Next
I agree with you Johnathon, for the most part. I think you need to get over this "liberal agenda" stuff though. I know that illegal immigration could be stopped immediately if those who hire them would only be treated like the criminals they are.
The humanitarian liberals are only patsies.
They’re letting their compassion overrule their brains at the moment. The real problem is the labor exploitive capitalist. And they aint not LIBERALS.
They ainto NO liberals. Excuse my double negative.
Please Beachbum! You’re a very intelligent woman. Please don’t patronize me?

The bottom line is VOTES! the actual number of illegals is around 20 million. By 2008 they’re banking on 8 to 10 million voters for the democratic LIBERAL agenda. You can then say good bye to what we knew as America. and its sucks that G.W.Bush is on the same freaking page! that sickens me. We need a guy like Candenero from Colorado to speak up even louder, and wake up America. This whole damn illegal issue is all about votes, and thats crazy.

College Drop Outs:
——————————–
Are college dropouts more successful than people with good education? It would seem so if you consider that many billionaires are people who dumped college. However, what this hides is the fact that although millions quit studies before completing them, very few of them go on to become rich.

What the list of the super-rich dropouts signifies is that in business, a top degree is not as important as having the right aptitude, attitude, determination and vision.

Here are some dropouts who went on to become billionaires:

1. Bill Gates & William Henry Gates III

(1955-), along with Paul Allen, co-founded Microsoft Corporation, the world’s largest software maker. Bill Gates, the wealthiest person in the world with an estimated net worth of

$480 crores (Rs 211,200 crore!),

is probably the best-known college dropout.

Gates attended an exclusive prep school in Seattle, went on to study at Harvard University, then dropped out to pursue software development. As students in the mid-70s, he and Paul Allen wrote the original Altair BASIC interpreter for the Altair 8800, the first commercially successful PC. In 1975, Micro-Soft – later Microsoft Corporation – was born. Three decades on, Gates has been Number One on the Forbes 400 for over a dozen years.

2. Lawrence Joseph Ellison (1944-)

, co-founder and CEO of Oracle Corporation, founded his company in 1977 with a sum of $2,000. Once a school dropout, he is now, according to

Forbes , one of the richest people in America with a net worth of around $184 crores. The figure also makes him the ninth richest in the world.

3. Dhirubhai Ambani—-(1932-2002)

was born into the family of a schoolteacher. It was a family of modest means. When he turned 16, Dhirubhai moved to Aden, working first as a gas-station attendant, then as a clerk in an oil company.

He returned to India at 26, starting a business with a meagre capital of $375. By the time of his demise, his company – Reliance Industries Ltd – had grown to become an empire, with an estimated annual turnover of $120 crores!

Dhirubhai was, in his lifetime, conferred the

Indian Entrepreneur of the 20th Century Award

by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry. A

Times of India

poll in the year 2000 also voted him one of the biggest creators of wealth in this century.

4. Steve Jobs

Steven Paul Jobs (1955-) and Apple Computer are names that have long gone together.

Born in the United States to an unknown Egyptian-Arab father, Jobs was adopted soon after birth. After graduating high school, he enrolled in Reed College, dropping out after one semester.

In 1976, 21-year-old Jobs and 26-year old Steve Wozniak founded Apple Computer Co. in the family garage. Jobs revolutionised the industry by popularising the concept of home computers.

By 1984, the Macintosh was introduced. He had an influential role in the building of the World-Wide Web, and also happens to be Chairman and CEO of Pixar Animation Studios.
