It seems we would put the most successful business people on committees rather than “professors” and failures. The best would be those who have failed but risen above their failures. Leave the theorists at home or in their classrooms.

Obama puts Immelt, (a radical leftist green jobs guy who sells to Iran), in charge of creating jobs for America.

Obama government owned GM,sends millions to Mexico to create jobs for green engines while piling on EPA and Obamacare regulations that destroy all jobs in the private sector (except for leftist corporations like GE)

Obama signs illegal censorship regulations to censor conservative free speech while promoting the GE run MessNBC to enhance their operations in order to enhance Marxism(Obama-ism) lies to further destroy the free market Capitalism (except for Marxist green Corps) in the U.S.

Oh, and Obama elects energy Salazar and Browner to ensure all possible destruction of viable energy solutions, such as drilling and nuclear, in order to drive business, and the country overall, into bankruptcy and chaos….on purpose.

Now I got it.

didn’t appoint Immelt to accomplish anything. This was nothing more than political payback for a job well done in helping him to get elected, and to keep doing so for 2012.

A weak PR stunt, like the summer jobs program that the schmuck Biden was conned into fronting for. What is more disturbing is that these fools actually might believe this crap about government creating jobs. The cretins in the media do.

Look at the big picture. It’s all part of a grander strategy to get reelected.

Obama has picked Daley and now Immelt. Guaranteed, there will be others to follow. Going into 2012 there will be a slightly improving economy and jobs situation. Almost none of it of course is due to anything Mr. Obama did, in fact it could have been much better without his intervention.

But he is not playing to Republicans or any thinking person. He is playing to that vast malleable middle called “Independents”. Historical electoral politics and Obama’s own victory in 2008 shows that if he can win them back, he get’s another 4 years.

Independents are generally swayed by the moment and superficial Executive moves. They do not have long memories and generally challenge any questioning or attack on the President’s actions as political. They also are generally disinterested in the details and late to figure out the truthful outcome- just like with Obama. They bought his election tripe- hook, line and sinker despite the evidence.

Obama’s recent poll bump after the Tuscon speech shows his advisers this demographic is still up for grabs. So look for more trickling of moves, like Immelt, to show he is “moving to the middle”.

In reality, Independents will probably easily forget that when Mr. Obama had all the levers of power, he took our country down a dangerous -un-American path. They will forget that Obama’s actions did not match his words and he dismissed democratic process in favor of ideology. They will forget his actions prolonged and may permanently damage our economy and position in the world. Very sad indeed.

I hope Independents will try to imagine what another four years would be like when Mr. Obama never has to worry about facing the electorate again. It is our only hope.

. . .that Obama gets the result he wants – that more government intervention is needed. GE’ business used to be electrical appliances,finance, turbines and power generation equipment among other things. Recently, however, its chief business has been rent-seeking from government. GE’s support of the incandescent bulb ban is a perfect example. GE is a market leader in CFL bulbs. Through the ban, GE got the government to increase their market for them. No expensive marketing plan necessary. It also gave GE an out to close domestic plants making incandescent bulbs and shift production to CFL plants in Asia.

Immelt will doubtless offer solutions to Obama which involve government intervention and our tax dollars. And in the end GE will stand to benefit.

This is the height of cronyism. In the normal world Immelt would have been fired unceremoniously. He made NBC as the mouth piece for Obama to save his hide. GE got Tarp money and was exempted from government interference. Now he is lending credibility to Obama’s pro-business pretention .

Talk about blatant quid pro quo. No one with two digit IQ will buy this phony gimmick.

other than GE stockholders?

“When I am talking to GE managers, I talk China, China, China, China, China. You need to be there. You need to change the way people talk about it and how they get there. I am a nut on China. Outsourcing from China is going to grow to 5 billion. We are building a tech center in China. Every discussion today has to center on China. The cost basis is extremely attractive. You can take an 18 cubic foot refrigerator, make it in China, land it in the United States, and land it for less than we can make an 18 cubic foot refrigerator ourselves.”

Jeffrey Immelt, quoted in an investor meeting, on December 6, 2002.

And this, from a July 21, 2009 article in Huffington Post article.

GE Promotes Manufacturing Jobs in US, Then Ships ‘em Overseas

While Immelt was calling for manufacturing to stay in the U.S., his company was at the same time shipping manufacturing jobs overseas by canceling an order with an American-based wind turbine maker, ATI Casting Service in LaPorte, Ind., so that GE could instead buy the parts from a factory in China.

Recently, ATI made $30 million worth of investments to buy, convert, and modernize a shuttered factory in economically ravaged Michigan so the company could provide more parts to GE as the green economy expands with federal stimulus funding. But a Chinese firm underbid ATI, and the factory faced having to lay off 302 union workers and shutter the plant.

In an aggressive bid to keep the factory open, ATI offered to match the price of the Chinese producers. GE once again said they would prefer to buy from China. The ATI plant is now closed, the jobs gone.

After Immelt pledged to create jobs in America, for him to make a U.S. company shed jobs so GE can buy Chinese goods for the same price is beyond hypocritical.
