Chris Matthews Goes After Jack Welch In Brutal Battle Over Unemployment Numbers

[Segami]

POS Jack Welch exposed as a moron Romney SHILL!!



BOSTON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Jack Welch, the lionized former chairman of General Electric Co, provoked cries of outrage in Washington on Friday when he appeared to accuse the White House of manipulating September job figures for political gains.
White House officials dismissed as "ludicrous" a tweet Welch sent to his more than 1.3 million followers that suggested U.S. President Barack Obama's administration rigged the data as a way of recovering from a poor Wednesday night showing in a debate against Mitt Romney, his Republican challenger for the White House.


"Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change numbers," Welch said in a posting on Twitter, apparently referring to Obama, who formerly served as a senator from Illinois.



- The tweet was by no means Welch's first criticism of Obama on his Twitter feed, where he has regularly spoken out in favor of Romney, as well as weighing in on sports. During the presidential debate in Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday night, Welch tweeted: "HOW can anyone vote for Obama after this performance..he has demonstrated his incompetence."

1. Did he huff some nitrous oxide before appearing?

If not, Jack Welch seriously needs to rest his voice.

2. Why do people assume that great wealth indicates intelligence?

Welch seems like standard-issue moron, incapable of following a logical train of thought.

In my work I've crossed paths with quite a few venture capitalists; men of Romney-type wealth. None of them struck me as being particularly intelligent, and many actually seemed like idiots. They were just confident and assertive.

4. He is the very definition of an elitist.

I read some years ago that part of his compensation package from GE was 25 grand a month for his wine bill.
That would feed and house a family for a year and he spends that much on wine for dinner...And GE pays for it with profits from government contracts.

5. Welch : Chris...Chris stop it now !

Quit picking on me.
Welch is just doing his part to muddy the waters. Come in Chris, leave the old fart alone.

6. Welch was the guy who would fire 10% of his workforce every year to keep the rest in line

7. I can't see any reason to question Neutron Jack's understanding of unemployment numbers.

In his tenure, he certainly created enough unemployment to know what he's talking about. Oy.

8. The Republican Party relies TOTALLY on talking points.

That's it.

They sit down and look at the fictional bubble they have created and make sure any events can be explained or solved by the narrow parameters within that bubble.

In this case, the "Obama is bad for jobs" is linked to the "Obama is a liar" parameter and details don't matter. When pressed on details just claim the person asking is the enemy.
