GE, the parent company of MSNBC (Y'know, the Chris Matthews tingley leg thing) is headed by Jeffrey Immelt. In the 8 years that he's been in charge, their stock has dropped an astounding 75%, yet not only is his job not in jeopardy, despite doing business with Iran (Y'know the guys that were smuggling weapons into Iraq and killing our soldiers) he's been tagged to be one of Obama's economic advisers. Oh, yeah, GE Capital took bailout money from B.O., so we the tax payers are footing part of Olberman, Brian Williams and Rachael Maddows salaries. How is there not a conflict of interest when a supposed legit news source is indirectly taking money from the guy who they're suppose to be reporting on objectively.

One more case of the same old same old. Nice change.

Excuse me, do you know anything about politics?

How could this be Obama's anything? He's been in office for a month.
Did GE write the energy policy?

You're just mad because there are liberals on the payroll.
Do you really think that they make policy for their companies?

Selective memory is not a good thing.
If anything this is a Bush legacy problem.
As are all of Obama's problems.

I've been saying the same thing since before the election. I even told my employer to buy GE stock. Democrats know how to return a favor.

You forgot got to blame Xians and our bigoted hatred for all things far left. You're slacking off my friend. Honest question, when will B.O. be responsible for anything that may go wrong during his term? Time frame specific please. Thanks

With the media, he will be.
First he has to clean up Bush's problems.
and the rest of us have to live through that.

When will you start holding Bush accountable?

So it's all OK when it's a liberal doing it?

Nice hypocrisy!

I hold Bush very responsible for starting this whole move towards socialism. Many of us have been saying for years that he's not a fiscal conservative. Now, despite asking you first, I did what you didn't; answered the question. I'll pose it to you a second time. Should you chose to ignore it, then your action or lack thereof will speak for itself.

If B.O. makes a big blunder, will you hold him accountable, or will you blame Bush for everything? If you do hold B.O responsible what time frame will the administration be his? Thanks

Please, I'l blame Bush for things that started on his watch that the next has to clean up.
Will you? Apparently not, based on your OP.

Just as I suspected, thanks for playing and enjoy your Kool Aid nightcap.

He knows Bill O'Reilly hates GE because they employ Keith Olbermann, who uses BillO's own words to make him sound foolish.

BillO, in turn, is careful not to mention K.O.'s name, and instead directs his wrath towards G.E.

His unthinking listeners, in turn, carry the torch. They don't know why to hate G.E., they just do as Bill tells them.
