Obama was to announce he will hold a SelectUSA summit next spring, with a goal of attracting more than 2,500 people from around the world to discuss job creation and the appeal of investing in the United States.

Contrast this to Abe deciding to urge Japan to have more baseball teams. LOL.

The gathering Tuesday is designed to illustrate growing interest in the United States by firms capable of creating high-paying jobs.

Take note Japan "high paying jobs"... you can't just relax immigration and expect talent to come to Japan to work.

Pointless. Companies go where they feel they will get the best return on their investment. They don't need politicians to tell them where the grass is greener, like a cow or a horse, businesspeople are more than capable of finding it themselves. The SelectUSA program is just empty political posturing to hoodwink the voters into thinking Washington cares about things like jobs. As of yeasterday, 110,000,000 Americans are on disability, which is a full third of the population. Only 80-odd million are working full time (yet the unemployment figure is 6.3%?). This is not the kind of enviromnent which attracts business.

If the business environment in America was good, companies would be beating down the doors to get in. But it isn't, and they aren't.
