Open Forum: More political paybacks

Posted: February 8, 2011 - 7:34pm

President Obama recently named General Electric CEO Jeffery Immelt, to head his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.

Under his leadership, Immelt seems to have lost 34,000 GE domestic jobs, while creating 25,000 jobs overseas. He ran NBC/MSNBC at losses, but provided great outlets for Obama propaganda.

GE received $140 billion in TARP funds. Remember TARP was intended to help financially troubled banks. The last time I looked, GE wasn’t a bank, but Obama made an exception.

He certainly seems eminently qualified to provide leadership on jobs and job creation.

We NEED 100% public financing

We NEED 100% public financing of elections.

Take the pledge to not vote for another incumbent until our votes count because if you don't our votes don't count.

Are you a birther RD?

What's next? Are you going to ask for my birth certificate? LOL!!!

Exactly how do you propose that I "prove" that I didn't follow my pledge?

PROOF

I give you my word (or affirm if that is a preferred term) that I did not vote for Mr. Oberstar last November!

Oh by the way Fishhead, that might be one way that you could "prove" that you did follow your pledge last November. That is of course correct because I believe that all of us who comment here ALWAYS speak truthfully!
