Immelt, GE and Obama

Rush had a great segment this morning about statements Immelt said at the C of C. The great guys at The Blaze posted a summary and audio of that segment. I want to post a summary of the summary! LOL I know it's just easier to go to The Blaze and just read and hear for yourself but I wanted to post here, on my blog. Just because!

During a small business summit at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Immelt, who also chairs President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, said businesses need to “get some action underway.”

“The people who are part of the business sector, the people in this room, have got to stop complaining about government and get some action underway,” he told the group. “There’s no excuse today for lack of leadership. The truth is we all need to be part of the solution.”

Immelt is suggesting that businesses be part of the solution by hiring people and to stop complaining about the government.

GE had 5 Billion in profits and paid NO taxes on them.
AND GE has consistently downsized its staff each year since 2009, dropping an approximate 36 thousand employees in just two short years.

“Let Obama give every company in America the same tax break he gave to GE and see how many people they hire”
“Obama and Immelt are like a couple radical Islamic imams telling businesses to sacrifice themselves for the cause.”
“Go blow yourself up and destroy your business” mocked Limbaugh.

Gotta Love Rush!
