Union Executives and Academics at Jobs Summit Were Hefty Obama Donors

A large number of union executives and academics who gave heavily to President Obama's 2008 campaign will be at the table for President Obama's White House jobs summit Thursday -- along with a number of corporate executives capable of creating the jobs everyone is seeking.

(Fox News) - A large number of union executives and academics who were heavy donors to President Obama's 2008 campaign will be at the table for his White House jobs summit Thursday.

But few big Obama donors are among the top corporate executives on the list -- and they are the ones who will bear the burden of creating the jobs that are needed to bring down the staggering unemployment rate.

And the Chamber of Commerce, with whom the Obama administration has battled over health care and climate change policies, and the National Federation of Independent Business confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday that they were not invited to attend the forum on expanding job creation.
