I am pretty sure he recognizes Jeffrey Immelt’s position. Are you saying that GE will be excused just bebcuase of Immelt?

Can you name how the president would make a company smaller?

Obama’s Faux Populism Sounds Like Bill Clinton

~snip~

Why hasn’t he pushed for a restoration of the Glass-Steagall Act, which Clinton’s deregulation reversed? Does the president really believe that the Dodd-Frank slap-on-the-wrist sellout represents “new rules to hold Wall Street accountable, so a crisis like this never happens again”? Can he name one single too-big-to-fail banking monstrosity that has been reduced in size on his watch instead of encouraged to grow ever larger by Treasury and Fed bailouts and interest-free money?

When Obama declared Tuesday evening “no American company should be able to avoid paying its fair share of taxes by moving jobs and profits overseas,” wasn’t he aware that Jeffrey Immelt, the man he appointed to head his jobs council, is the most egregious offender? Immelt, the CEO of GE, heads a company with most of its workers employed in foreign countries, a corporation that makes 82 percent of its profit abroad and has paid no U.S. taxes in the past three years.

They can not call it welfare even with means testing. It’s completely paid for by employees/employers. I’ve even heard some wealthy say they would be happy to give it up entirely if that was a national option, because they did not need it. There are a few very wealthy who are not motivated by greed. Probably not many, but some.

No, we’re not. Stop drinking the damn koolaid of the profiteering left and open your eyes to just what President Obama and his Admin have accomplished.

No difference between PObama and the lying republicons benefits the rw and the lying so-called “left”.
