"Obama in appointing Immelt last January praised him as a business leader who "understands what it takes for America to compete in the global economy." Apparently, what Immelt understands is that what it takes to satisfy corporate interests instead of national needs is conning a president into looking the other way while you send jobs abroad." --Robert Scheer, Huffington Post

TARP funding was extended specifically for G.E., money that was originally supposed to go to banks. Now CEO on Economic Board??? Obama should be investigated.

Only in America, one wonders if Americans are intelligent enough to digest this peiece of news, the CEO of GE is advising Obama on job creation lool, the same company that closed 30 plants the last 10 years in North America ( 29 in America) and 1 in Canada. Its like hiring the viruses and germs to cure the sick.
