    Internships.com Supports The White House’s Summer Job Search Initiative

    PRWeb – Thu, Jan 5, 2012

    Largest Internships Marketplace Helps 16-24 Year Olds Connect With More Than 50,000 Internships As Part Of The Administration’s Summer Jobs+ Initiative

    Burbank, CA (PRWEB) January 05, 2012

    Internships.com, the world’s largest internships marketplace today announced that it will support the internship search function of the Summer Jobs+ Bank by giving youth access to more than 50,000 summer internship listings from more than 15,000 employers. Working alongside Google, as the co-lead technology partners of the White House in this initiative, Internships.com will populate the Summer Jobs+ Bank with exciting internship opportunities available on Internships.com for summer 2012. Employers are able to post on Internships.com for free and have immediate participation in the program.

    “Internships.com is honored to have been chosen by the White House for this vital project,” said Robin D. Richards, Chairman & CEO of Internships.com. “As the de facto place for employers to post their internships, Internships.com is in a privileged position to help the nation’s youth find summer employment.”

    According to the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics for November 2011, nearly 1 in 4 of the unemployed are in the 16-24 year old age group. In providing youth with access to employers who are committed to providing summer internships, Internships.com is helping America’s future workforce take their first critical steps in their career.

    Continued Mr. Richards: “Employers are displaying the importance they attach to internships by making available more than double the number this year as last year. Moreover, with seven out of every ten internships turning into full time jobs, it’s clear that providing youth access to internships is one of the best ways to ensure the long term prosperity of the country.”

    At launch of Summer Jobs+, Internships.com will populate the job bank with all summer 2012 internships available in its database and, as more employers post internships, Google will index these new opportunities to help increase the available internships on the job bank. Internships.com expects to contribute more than 50,000 summer internships in 2012 and will enable any company to post their summer internships on Internships.com at no cost.

    Employers wishing to post internships for free, please visit Internships.com.

      The Dem strategy. Hold up all jobs bills passed by Congress in the senate and say republicans are doing nothing. This gives the Liar in Chief teleprompter talking points.

      The White House should not be in the business of finding jobs for anyone. Get the hell out of the way. There is a reason socialism and communism fail (i.e. U.S.S.R. )... and, with Obama's White House the main reason for this jobs imitative is political and tantamount to bribing for votes.

      Most Extra-Constitutional¹ tyrrany by the dictator-for-life wannabe (Part 3)

      Q: When Congress offers you a bill, do you PROMISE NOT TO USE presidential signage [sic] to get your way?

      OBAMA: Yes. [Applause] Let me just explain for those who are unfamiliar with this issue. [he narcissistically states with smug condescension] You know, we’ve got a government designed by the founders so that there’d be CHECKS AND BALANCES. You don’t want a President that’s too powerful or a Congress that’s too powerful or courts that are too powerful. Everybody’s got their own role. But what GEORGE BUSH has been trying to do is part of his effort to ACCUMULATE MORE POWER in the Presidency, is, he’s been saying, “Well, I can basically change what Congress passed by attaching a letter that says ‘I don’t agree with this part’ or ‘I don’t agree with that part.’ I’m going to choose to interpret it this way or that way.” Uh, that’s not part of his power. But this is part of the whole theory of George Bush that he can make laws as he’s going along. I disagree with that. I taught the Constitution for ten years, I believe in the Constitution, and I will obey the Constitution of the United States. We’re NOT GOING TO USE SIGNING STATEMENTS as a way of doing an end run around Congress. [WHAT A LYING NARCISSISTIC HIPPOCRATIC LIBERAL, REGRESSIVE FASCIST]

      National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and its controversial detention provisions law. In 2008, Obama promised HE WOULD NEVER USE SIGNING STATEMENTS. On April 15, 2011 Obama used a signing statement to avoid abiding by a provision in the budget bill to defund some of his czars.

      And so far he has issued over 15 signing statements.
      (WhiteHouse.gov Jan. 3, 2012) “We CAN’T WAIT FOR CONGRESS TO ACT, if Republicans choose path of obstruction rather than cooperation then the President is not going to sit here, this gridlock in Washington is not an excuse for inaction, he’s GOING TO TAKE THE ACTIONS THAT HE CAN TAKE USING HIS EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY to help the cause here. They can be small, medium or large actions.”
      WASHINGTON (AP) (01/04/2012) — In a DEFIANT DISPLAY OF EXECUTIVE POWER, President Barack Obama on Wednesday will buck GOP opposition and name Richard Cordray as the nation’s chief consumer watchdog even though the Senate contends the move is inappropriate, senior administration officials told

      (ABC News) (Jan. 5, 2012) — President Obama will continue his campaign to BYPASS CONGRESSIONAL OPPOSITION to his jobs agenda Thursday by announcing a new partnership aimed at helping a quarter of a million young people find summer jobs.
      The initiative, part of Obama’s “We Can’t Wait” campaign, is intended to replace a youth jobs fund that would have been enacted had Congress passed the president’s $447 billion jobs bill.

      ¹ from usconstitution.net[ emphasis added]: Executive Orders have two main functions: to modify how an executive branch department or agency does its job (rule change) or to modify existing law, if such authority has been granted to the President by Congress.

      This is a ploy to get summer interns added into the Dept. of Labor numbers as "jobs created". What a scam. Corporate Voices for Working Families is a communist front organization. Look at the President's associations. Bill Ayers...Valerie Jarrett...ACORN...Goldman Sachs...Franklin Raines...Drummond Pike...Lisa Jackson...George Soros...Van Jones...Cass Sunstein...Hilda Solis...Andy Stern...Richard Trumpka...Jimmy Hoffa...Ingrid Mattson...Arif Alikhan...Eric Holder...Solyndra...Sun Power...Boeing...Fast and Furious...New Black Panthers...Rev. Jeremiah Wright...Tony Rezko...

      How many more corrupt, racist, communist. treasonous, criminal associations does the President have to have before stupid people will stop supporting him?

      Just another "Obama Circus" with all the hoopla & media coverage....and to all you hardworking kids and students (who are not minorities or low income), good luck finding your own internship because THIS POTUS does not represent you or your hardships.

      Do we need another STUPID comedian to make us laugh, or we actually NEED a SKILFUL, LAWFUL president to represent America’s best? Haven’t we had enough of #$%$ George W. Bush? Is it now the Democrats’ turn to ENTERTAIN us for 8 more years with a #$%$ of their own, to get even with the GOP? Do “WE, THE PEOPLE” have a saying in this “Who can do more damage to our country” contest? Keep in mind, WE are the ones eagerly and generously FINANCING the contest. Instead of getting the BEST return in our VERY RISKY investment, all we get is “Yes, we can,” EMPTY promises, and LIES, LIES and MORE LIES! All we OWN is the national debt of $15.2 TRILLION DOLLARS, and GROWING. How much is a trillion? Like our HELL of a president says” “Don’t worry about it, things will be fine! According to his agenda, In HELL they will! No wonder obama IS asking for an increase in his borrowing power. The more he borrows the deeper in HELL we are. I mean HELL, the real HELL. Our money ends up in our leaders’ and enemies' pockets! Read the news, family murder-suicide is on the RISE. Family is the foundation of society.No family = no society, no country, NO MIGHTY USA!barry supposedly made history by becoming our first BLACK president. He did make history, by becoming our first NON-AMERICAN president. Among his very black achievements: the MOST DEFICIT SPENDING OF ANY PRESIDENT from Washington to Reagan, STAGNANT UNEMPLOYMENT, a RECORD NUMBER OF AMERICANS LIVING BELOW POVERTY LEVEL and the first downgrade of the credit rating in our history, all while SETTING THE NATIONAL RECORD FOR MOST ROUNDS OF GOLF PLAYED by a sitting president. While MANY of us are struggling to go to the supermarket and the gas station, for barry and the FIRST family going for a NICE and expensive vacation is nothing but a “piece of cake”, a CAKE made and paid with OUR blood, sweat and tears!He LOVES doing stand-up comedy to show the rest of the world how HAPPY and laughable the ex mighty USA has become under his ILLEGAL and POOR, but funny, leadership. Most of the time he is in his “NATIVE” Hawaii with his family, the secret service, CIA, FBI, TSA, FEMA, Air Force One, Two, Three, Four, and who knows how many GUESTS and golf players are invited to spend a NICE time with our very GENEROUS commander in chief, on TAXPAYERS’ account.It would certainly be cheaper for US to get the White House moved to Hawaii and make it the ALOHA FUN HOUSE. Instead of an oval office, with a STAGE with TV cameras where barry would be able to perform for all of us here in the main land to keep us happy, laughing and asking for more. That certainly would be a very NICE return on our INVESTMENT. Right???WE WILL ALL LAUGH OUR LUNGS OUT! HE IS SOOO FUNNY!!! And we’re so STUPID!!! FOUR MORE YEARS, FOUR MORE YEARS!!! OBAMA FOREVER!!!HE IS SOOO FUNNY!!! FOUR MORE YEARS, FOUR MORE YEARS!!!
