Immelt appointment = cronyism

And why would we expect anything different from Obama? A good portion of the "stimulus" funds demanded by Obama went to pay for political favors. The money certainly didn't go to "shovel ready jobs" as Obama himself was eventually forced to admit.

So now Obama appoints crony Jeff Immelt to head the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. How rich. This is the man who said that there was a lot of money to be made by General Electric in advancing the democrat agenda. He continues to work as G.E.'s CEO. And he is supposed to impartially represent American business and the jobless? I doubt that the other companies will trust him one iota. I certainly don't.
