Who needs a jobs council anyway?

With irony dripping, Matt Drudge's headline this morning screams: "Mission accomplished: Obama ending jobs council.".
It's a perfect tip of the hat to this strange political world we live in. The worst president ever in terms of handling the American economy was just re-elected with most Americans giving the president a favorable -- can you believe it, favorable? -- job approval rating.
All this in light of the obvious: The economic life of the middle class under Obama has gotten worse not better. I'm not sure why we fiscal conservatives do this any more given the fairy land many Americans have been fooled by Democrats into believing in, but for the umpteenth time, LET'S CONSIDER THE FACTS.
Just yesterday, the government's official statistics showed Nevada's real jobless number in 2012 was a miserable 20 percent. Joblessness in Nevada's minority communities therefore has no doubt soared to 30-plus percent.
Yet today President Obama disbanded his jobs council.
"Mission accomplished" as Drudge says? Or, just an incompetent president when it comes to the economy who has who has now fully given up on even the pretense that he can fix the economy?
