President Barack Obama has named GE's CEO, Jeffrey Immelt, to a new presidential council on competitiveness and job creation.
Ignoring the question of why we need another presidential council, other than to distance Obama from criticism, etc. and, this is the way of Obama, here's your dumbass quote:
Obama: "GE is not part of the usual Washington crowd." Really? An establishment member of the military-industrial complex, maker of military jet engines and more, is "not part of of the usual Washington crowd"? Boy, the whoppers get more blatant, and shift more to the "right," all the time.
Much more on Immelt and liberal/non-Villager blog reaction to this nuttery from Tobin Harshaw.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
As seen at Washington Babylon and other fine establishments
