Wasn’t that back when Jack Welch was the boss?

I think he meant to say “We are all fascists now.”

No more GE products for me. EVER. And this is why CNBC can’t report anything on any program without some buffoon defending the Obama administrating wee-weeing all over the program. And this is why CNBC ratings have tanked. Hey Jeff, ESAD.

James Taggart was an idiot. I was thinking more of Orren Boyle.

"we're all Democrats Facists now...",

-there. -fixed it. --------------------------------------

"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."

Pretty bold words for last June.
What's ol' Jeff sayin' these days, eh? LOL

"You could fight it if you want, but society wants change. And government is not going away.'"

Wanna bet, quisling?

"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."

steph?
These GE BODs?
They'd better get hold of this louse.
Its "leadership" is directly responsible for the garbage at NBC & MSNBC; though, the bugger's main focus has to be GE's energy division.
Immelt wants that Green legislation, ergo, BIG $$s for GE. We all know this.

Here's the problem & where the rubber meets the road.
More & more people are linking NBC-U *with* GE Corporate; and, by association everything GE. Which, is a LOT.

Example: The bride & I are shopping to replace all our appliances. Range, refridge, dishwasher and freezer and the *one* standing order for Mrs.L?
NO General Electric anything.
GE and their entire product line is simply verboten.

Now we're making this decision for us, and us alone.
But, are there others?
That, is the $64 question, steph.

Methinks the only real indicator will be GE stock. Know anything about GE's stock, recent trending my friend? And include institutional investors (401Ks etc) in the equation since that incoming funding to GE comes every month without regard to the GE parent company's behavior, or, any of its subsidiaries or properties. So one has to read between the lines?

There's what the louse says and there's what GE's stock says. Which do we listen? ;^) LOL

Absolutely. Immelt’s only hope of extricating himself from his incompetent management.

"Is Immelt an 0bama supporter?"

From paragraph 2: "But Chief Executive Jeffrey Immelt now has his eye on a huge new pool of potential revenue: Uncle Sam's stimulus dollars. Mr. Immelt, a registered Republican..."

From the same paragraph: "...quips about the shift in thinking in the nation's corner offices: 'We're all Democrats now."...

Who knows *what* it is? LOL

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.

Where did you get those numbers?

I'm looking at GE's 3Q2009 balance sheet and see total assets of $788bn and total liabilities of $670bn.

If I'm missing something, please let me know!
