jgoose71 0 #1 January 23, 2011 Obama recently names Jeffrey Immelt, CEO of GE who also owns NBC/MSNBC, as his new economic advisor. Unless you have been living under a rock, there is no need to go into what big cheerleaders those news stations have been for Obama. Also worth mentioning, GE has really been pushing the job killing CO2 cap and trade bill, another liberal holy grail. To really get a grip on how in bed Immelt is with Obama, you have to read the story atached. So much for cleaning up Washington. What did he say about lobbyists?

sundevil777 102 #5 January 23, 2011 I don't see a reason to complain. At least Obama chose someone from industry rather than an academic, he already has plenty of those.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #9 January 23, 2011 Quote Too bad the industry guy he chose is going to drive the economy further into the toilet. Do you really know Immelt's history? GE is a highly successful company with many parts in the energy trade (in particular, turbines for natural gas plants). The financial arm is but a small piece. And their quarterly results were outstanding yesterday. Who would you choose instead? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because then you would have bitched that he only hires egghead elitists with no practical experience. Actually, logic and reason when used, out weighs stupidity by many orders of magnitude. look at the people that he has put into office. Look at WHO and WHAT they are. There is no qualification set, or experience on thier resume that is logical in his choices. It is all payback for donations and lobbying. I equate it to hiring the Mailman to manage distribution for UPS, only as a figurehead, just so he won't visit the wife during the day.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A highly succsessful businessman has no qualifications to be an economic advisor? He just hired people that knew more than he did. That is the secret to success. Obama keeps trying - but he has such a low starting point that his success can be overcast by a TV station owner. That's pretty sad considering Obushma is SUPPOSED to be the leader of the free world.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can deal with that What I have trouble with is another lib lieing about what he/she is (moving to the center for an election) Nice honesty High integrity Great morality Oh know Is this another hate post?"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
