2. "Council on Jobs and Competitiveness"
Edited on Fri Jan-21-11 09:39 AM by ProSense
You know, the buck stops with the President. Putting Immelt out front allows him to put up or shut up.

It's a council, which will likely garner input from many people. Everyone wanted the President to focus on jobs, demanding a jobs council, well now he is.
