The reason we need to clean out Gitmo is that we need space for the Obama administration after we find out most of the "stimulus " money went into their offshore accounts! Thug government.

my God how far nbc has fallen . how far ge has fallen. as a 20 + year employee of nbc before ge and after it is sicking. we thought wright and company were bad when they replaced tinker,walsh,timothy. hell wright compared to zucker, capus, and the rest looks like gen.sarnoff. keep waiting for the old stutterer jack welsh to take immelt to the wood shed. my guess he was way to far in immelts corner or old wifey #3 has the old fool only thinking with his little head.

I think Preasident Georde Soros and VP Jeffrey Immelt are doing a great job!
I have already started I refuse to buy or sell any GE product till Jeffrey Immelt is removed and NBC goes bak to reporting the news and not doing a thirty minute commercial for green power.

We refurbished a home would not even look at GE appliances. All the things GE is involved with are so unAMERICAN just like our new presidente and his cabinet full of tax cheats- money in the freezer.

This site is being censored. I have said nothing dishonest or hateful. I have only tried to present an alternative viewpoint. It is clear to me that this site is not about free speech or resolving conflicts. It exists to give conservatives a place to complain about liberals, but not to actually converse about serious issues. We will never survive as a nation if we don't come together and solve our problems together as Americans. Put party aside! Save America!
ChangeTheRide
Can't you all see that MSNBC has chosen to spread propaganda for the liberals to make them feel good, just as FOX News has chosen to spread propaganda for the conservatives? It is so obvious to me. They are obviously playing to their base for the purpose of getting ratings. O'Reilly gets the better ratings because there are more conservatives watching the "news". But it doesn't make him honest. MSNBC is just trying to play the role that FOX News played the last eight years. Defend their guy no matter what. It's shameful that FOX and MSNBC have so many people fooled.

This is just a continuation of years of corruption. The only difference is that the Dems spend more faster. I watch a number of shows, and they all have spin and truth, except for OlberNotAMan. That guy is just a waste of pixels. Completely unwatchable.
Fred
Ok let’s see if this even gets looked at by any prosecutor’s office as it should. There is something illegal going on here and this should be investigated to the fullest. Jeffery Immelt is a crook and we all know it. Now it is time some one to do something about it.

So, Obama is a thug? And i guess you think Bush was a hero...and in bizarro world, you're a millionaire too huh?

The corruption and CEO getting big bonus for failure & out of control spending is worse than
water boarding known terrorists. Maybe we should have
just sent navy seals to shoot them and then more USA
people would have died since 9/11. Greed is running out country. God Help America

In a democracy everyone has it chances. Republicans with McCain and Palin lost the general elections. I will not dear to make such accusation to anyone without relevant proof and just on mere speculations. It is a disgrace when democracy is not properly follow by us.
Ray
I think the comparison is not exactly the same. GE is utimately in this for profit. They have staked their future on controlling the cap credits and green energy. It's billions of dollars and we are just on the sidelines watching. Wait till your electric bills jumps by 300%. Then you will want to know why. Wait till you are going to be told about "coupons" , and when you can use appliances or lights, then it will be to late to ask why.
Anonymous
Why can't we charge Chris Matthew, Rachel Maddow, olberman and the ed guy for hate crime and I will throw in Jeanene Grapalo as a bonus for the prosecution. Of course GE should be charged with security fraud for in bed with Obamanites as a opportunistic company with trying ot supply misinformation through its are NBC and MSNBC under the patriotic act.
John Ford
But the difference is that FOX is not lobbying Congress or the White House for any FAT government contracts with billions of dollars at stake. If you can't see the conflict of interest, God help you. Fox is actually the most fair network.

There's a big difference between being on a political side, and lying (Pelosi), cheating (Geithner, et. al.), and buying political favors for a profit (Immelt, Dodd, etc.). Your depth of understanding is non-existent.

Keith Olbermann makes Hanity and O'Reilly look moderate or liberal by comparison. His only "arch enemy" is Rush, but I would have to give the "extreme" label to Olbermann.

I've already started boycotting all NBC stations and affiliates as well as GE appliances and anything "GE". Unfortunately we need a "tea party" boycott to make a difference.

Boycott GE NOW
I'm with you completely on this!!! I also am not doing any business with General Motors, Chrysler or AIG. NO bail out company will get my business. I own 5 companies and there is not and will not be any bail out money for my corporations. By the way, WHERE IS THIS BASTARD OBAMA'S BIRTH CERTIFICATE??? THE PUBLIC DESERVES TO KNOW. How is it that someone like this asshole can run for president and not be required a security clearance and yet the janitor that works in the capitol is given the 3rd degree??? I smell a really stinking rat, and I have a very good record in judging character.

Well said!
When are we going to stop going to the movies?When are we going to boicot ALL these companies which are supportive of the fascist revolution conducted by Obama,Pellosi,Reid,etc?Wake-up America or you will find yourself living ,not like France or Sweden,but like USSR and North Corea!Are we all THAT delusional and believe this is JUST another temporary situation which can be reversed later?Even the stupid,ignorant people who voted for this serpent should be able to wake-up.Well,not all of them ,but we only need about 10% of them to stop this nightmare...

I agree with Bill, and I think this was a great time to break the story. People need to know these facts. I just wish I knew where he was during the Haliburton scandal.

Ballmer and Immelt worked together at Proctor & Gamble and go back a long way. They started working in business together.

For every progressive that opens their mouth ,pushing bologna, there is a counter site that proves just the opposite. Breaking news: the middle class tax cut is off the table so we can have health care. Who did you guys vote for? Change we can count on, huh?
ROFLMAO
That should work. Only question I have is who is going to be paying for this health care when there are no longer any Americans working to pay taxes? Middle class or otherwise.
Incandescent Light Bulbs
For all you freedom loving people out there. The incandescent light bulb will no longer be avaliable in a few years. Unless you want the mercury filled ones I suggest you stock up on incandescent bulbs now. Get a stock of 40, 60, 100 and three way and put them safely in a plastic container. Unless the feds pass a law stating that they can come in to your house to remove them, you will be set.
Sharon
I always by a box or two of bulbs everytime I go shopping!

Anybody else out there wondering if Immelt's GE has offered the Obama administration a back channel to their business buddies in the Iranian government in exchange for even more consideration? No doubt NBC is hammering out a deal at this very moment to secure the release of journalist Roxana Saberi.
Charles
The democrats are the biggest bunch of we'll do anything to stay in power. When you have companies like GE and there bias networks and the others like CBS, CNN and ABC what do you expect from these clowns.
SHUT UP DEMS
SO FAR OBAMA NO DRAMA HAS NOT TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING AND MRS B.H.O. USES ARE TAX DOLLERS AND TAKES THE SECERT SIRVICE ON HAMBERGER RUNS. SO WHAT ELSE CAN WE EXPECT FROM THIS LIEING PIECE OF TRASH. MORE BOWS AND HAND SHAKES TO THE ASS HOLES THAT THINK WE SHOULD BE WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
Demosthenes
You really describe the Democrats to a "T". In contrast, the Republicans care nothing about holding and retaining power. I mean, Karl Rove was not a political operative using ruthless tactics to get George Bush elected and re-elected, right?

Power corrupts on both sides. You seem to imply that because the Republicans do it, the Democrats should too.
One question, the war in Iraq was very unpopular yet Bush stayed. Why? Could it be a moral conviction?

Get up to speed. As Americans we need to move beyond the 2 party debate so we can regain the promise of our country as stated in the Constitution. We have separation of church and state so that we don't have undue influence by any group. Shouldn't we be upset that a private business or businesses try to do this?
