Jeffery Immelt should go plug in a wet lightbulb.

[DManA]

Break up GE.

[Gapplega]

Does GE make lampposts?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Immelt was an incompetent from the day he took over G.E. Without crooked inside dealing, he would already have been pushed out of power by the G.E. board members.

[The_Victor]

The formation of “The Aristocracy of Pull” has begun.

[DManA]

We [elite republicans] are all democrats now.

Mr. Immelt, we already figured that out on our own.

[reagan_fanatic]

So Immelt’s philosophy is to throw up your hands and give up.

Some leader.

General Electric owes its creditors about half a trillion dollars, and has net assets of less than 20 billion dollars. GE spends 90% of its income just servicing its debts.

GE has no hope and no future except as a tit-sucking parasite. Of course the CEO is directing his people to grab all the stimulus tax money they can.

[FromLori]

He’s not throwing up his hands and giving up he is opening up his hands and sucking up our tax dollars another pretend capitalist sucking on the publics teat!

[FromLori]

GE should be allowed to fail just like the banks who sucked up our tax dollars. lol I used a similar metaphor in another response as yours.

[eeevil conservative]

he is also one sick and corrupt progressive....

GE bought up all the ENRON assets during the “ENRON fire sale.” they took a gamble on “new energy” and they are pissed that we are not biting......

"The government has moved in next door, and it ain't leaving," Mr. Immelt said at the International Economic Forum of the Americas in Montreal in June. "You could fight it if you want, but society wants change. And government is not going away."

Good Lord!

What have we become.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Big business bows their knees to Hussein.

GE amd GS are pigs of a different breed, but pigs nonetheless. Both are big into the Al Gore, environmental capitalism game. GS wants to control the market for carbon credits (selling free air for $ is even better than the tulip bulb scam of the 1600’s), and GE wants to sell energy efficient light bulbs, windmills, etc to the consumer via gov’t enforced mandates.

‘Green Week’ on the NBC affiliates is nothing more than corporate brainwashing of the masses in the name of making GE more money. The fact so many people do not see through this crap is amazing.

Environmentalism today is a toxic combination of enivro-wacko, anti-capialists like the WWF, Greenpeace, and Sierra Clubs, combined with the Wall St fraudsters like UBS, GS, JPM, combined with the Democratic Party. Each stands to benefit in their own way, to the detriment of the freedom, liberty and economic well being of the average citizen.

[blueyon]

Ah yes, truly a President of all the people..oops I mean Democrats only. You tea baggers can just pay your taxes and go (deleted).

[Lockbar]

GM cars will be sold to losers who can’t pay the note.

[boomop1]

Explains why MSNBC is still on.

[marstegreg]

Frankly, I’m insulted.

[pepsi_junkie]

Every time Jeff Immelt speaks I think he sounds like a character in “Atlas Shrugged”.
