GE was a major contributor to Obama and he has no intention of
changing what GE has to pay.

No President chooses what tax rates anyone pays (although Reagan was pretty
good at getting some Democrats to go along with his suggested tax cuts).

But a president does choose his advisors. And Obama just chose
Jeffrey Immelt
to head his new Council on Jobs and Competiveness.


But I'm sure we'd agree that Obama's chances of getting the current House of
Representatives to go along with anything he requested is somewhere between
slim and none.

As far as I can tell, Obama is MIA in the current budget battle.
BUT.... he didn't
have to be. Nor did he have to wait until now to get a budget
passed. That
budget was supposed to be passed last year, when the Democrats had
control
of not only the House, but the Senate. With the country going deeper
in debt
each month and our long term future at stake, it should have been job
#1.
What did Obama and the Dems do?
Why, nothing, both before the election and in the lame duck session
after.
Clearly, they had no interest in doing anything, so why start
complaining now?
