A leader at work.

Welch has doubtless watched the government squeeze on American business for decades.

To talk with a president who appears bent, with the energy of a honey badger, to roll back the stifling atmosphere — must be a very heartening experience. Yes, GE, along with just about everybody else and his aunt and uncle, has been neck deep in offshore manufacturing. This is where government taxes and regulation has frequently pushed business if it expected to survive.

“Everybody out of the pool” is not a party pooper if the pool was full of sewage in the first place.

Welch said he has met with nearly every president since 1981, and found Trump surprisingly well-versed on topics, engaged and genuinely focused on the task of creating jobs. “Real guy and really concerned about every worker in the country,” said Welch. “Solid, down-to-earth, on top of the issues. The guys at the GE plant in Lynn would love him.”

Our biggest 'win' is Trump.

“Donald Trump”?

It’s “President” Donald Trump now and they’d do will not to forget that in their headlines.

Gee, you mean Trump is better versed than a community organizer who hates having a real job? How can that be?

Jack Welch swallows.

Whatever happened to that "lifetime employability" he liked to autofellate over?

And McKinsey & Co. -- the consulting firm riddled with ex-GE types -- was being paid by one of the Indian provinces/states/whatever they call them over there, to create jobs in India instead of the U.S.

I hope Trump really hits the regulations — they’ve killed small business, and are as salt on the earth, keeping new business down.

Redistribution of property OR liberty is evil. Taxing for redistribution is theft. Regulations are slavery.

IIRC, one of Welch’s maxims is “Never pay retail.”

Trump has that one down :-)

What about our leader a mere eight years ago? Who can forget his meetings with business leaders, his saving the US from financial catastrophe, and the resulting economic boom? Chortle...

President-elect Barack Obama was tackling the struggling U.S. economy as his first order of business, meeting Friday with leaders of business, government and academia before he holds his first press conference since the election.

Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden were to meet with 17 members of their transition economic advisory board. Members include former presidential Cabinet officials and executives from Xerox Corp., Time Warner Inc., Google Inc. and the Hyatt hotel company. Investor Warren Buffett was participating by telephone.

Friday's press conference will be Obama's first public appearance since he trounced Republican John McCain in Tuesday's election to become America's first black president.

I wonder what Jack Welch thinks about obama privately.
A search about his public thoughts are that obama was wrecking the economy.
