    How 'tone deaf' IS this administration?

    During the last presidential campaign, Obama had no better a media ally then MSNBC, owed and operated by GE.

    These are the same guys who were conducting business with Iran while US troops were being attacked by high tech IEDs in Iraq which were smuggled across the border from Iran. Nice.

    So this January the Obama administration appoints GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt to head Presidential Jobs Creation Commission.

    Now GE now announces a joint partnership with China, in which they will be sharing jet technology and developments with the Chinese, a communist government. Exactly how many US military funded developments are going to leak over to the Chinese during this joint venture?

    To add insult to injury, the joint venture will be competing against Boeing, a US company, in the international marketplace.

    This from the CEO who is in charge of the Presidential Jobs Creation Commission?

    This is the same administration who's National Labor Relations board is blocking or suing Boeing because they want to open a manufacturing center in North Carolina.

    I guess you really can be measured by the company you keep and the actions you take.

    Tell me again, why this administration deserves a second term in office when they have so consistently shown such poor judgment?
    If a man were behind four months on his mortgage and was talking to you about his plans to build an addition on his home you would think him daft and delusional. But in Washington, ignoring a current crisis to discuss grand dreams is called “boldness” and “vision.”

    It's OK. China got rocket technology during the Clinton administration and North Korea scored some nuclear technology. No point in closing the barn door now.

    Hard to compete for jobs and sales when you ham string your own side, and give the advantage to the opposition.

    How serious is this administration really about US jobs?

    How 'tone deaf' IS this administration?

    Pretty fucking tone deaf... The examples of it are legion... it's now in almost everything they do, or try to do.

    and this vacation to the playground of the mega-rich isn't helping.

    I guess we know now why Boeing is getting such grief for trying to expand their operations now.

    Makes perfect sense, buy the guy in charge, use him to topple the dominoes you need.

    I don't believe that this President has any interest at all in what happens to this country--I think his intent is to destroy this country. Barack Obama is a socialist--there is no doubt about that in my mind. To get this country where he wants it--he needs more people dependent on government.

    Yes, I'm sure if the president vacationed at Camp David it would be a great source of comfort to the unemployed.

    He knows there would be no comfort to the unemployed if he vacationed at Camp David so lets go to Camp Martha's Vineyard where the rich elite people hang out. Golf anyone.

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but it's never about that. For example, when Bush was President, he played golf. He didn't actually play that much, but when he did, it was always portrayed as "oh, look at Bushie, putting on the greens while we're at war!" In contrast, Obama plays golf quite frequently and the same exact people are like "he works so hard, who can hold that against him?" When Bush went on vacation, it was frequently just to his ranch at Crawford and it was always "aw, Bushie spending our money on vacation!" In contrast, Obama and Michelle, who supposedly are right there with the common people, are constantly flying to other countries and living in the top hotels and nobody says a thing. Add to that the fact that we're in a recession and he looks a) tone-deaf and b) like he thinks he's royalty.

    Another thing for liberals to defend their prez on.

    GE, with Jeffrey Immelt at the helm, is partnering with a state owned Chinese company. GE will share it's technology with the Chinese so they can compete with Airbus and American company Boeing, including sharing some of the same technology used in Boeing’s new state-of-the-art 787 Dreamliner.
    We see a lot of jobs leaving the USA, China bound , don't we? What makes this different is GE's Immelt is Obama's appointee and the head of Obama's "Jobs Council".
    Is it any wonder Obama's admin has failed to create jobs? Immelt sets up shop in China so they can compete with Boeing. Just perfect! Well, you can't say he doesn't know how to create jobs, it's just where he's created them that bugs me........how about you?

    Two things, actually. From your link:
    The other risk is that Western technologies could help China play catch-up in military aviation — a concern underscored last week when the Chinese military demonstrated a prototype of its version of the Pentagon’s stealth fighter, even though the plane could be a decade away from production.
