WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama wants to cast some light on economic success stories in the shadows of a slow recovery. And he is looking to find some more.
On Friday, the president travels to Schenectady, N.Y., birthplace of the General Electric Co., to showcase a new GE deal with India and announce a restructured presidential advisory board to focus on increasing employment and competitiveness.
Obama is naming GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt as the head of a Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. The panel replaces Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, which had been chaired by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. Obama announced late Thursday that Volcker, as expected, was ending his tenure on the panel.

Odd as many economists are hard pressed to find any success stories when it comes to Obama and his “handling” of the economy.
Certainly, unemployment lines are full of them.
Turn it upside down, and it's a raging success!
Mass brainwashing and rewriting of history. 12 to 16% unemployment and a country heading for financial implosion. The newsmedia just plays along.
Should be a pretty short speech...
Obama died his hair?
LOL
To be sure, her skills at extemporaneous speaking leave much to be desired.
