"Inaugurals always magnificent...appears Pres. Obama comfortable with high unemployment and huge deficits..no serious mention"


Another old white bigot of privilege spewing because he needs to be in the spotlight.


Asshole.

GE board members considered Welch too impetuous to take the helm. Welch started his reign with a bang, dismantling GE through a series of dramatic restructurings and layoffs. From 1981 to 1985, he cut 100,000 jobs, an act so painful to employees that they began referring to him as ''Neutron Jack,'' after the nuclear bomb that vaporizes people but leaves buildings standing.

GE dumped millions of pounds of PCBs into the Hudson
River and Jack Welch fought tooth and nail having GE
be responsible for the clean up. Without a doubt many
many people got cancer from eating fish that were contaminated
with the PCBs from Jack's businesses.
