Yesterday I had the chance to catch the Piers Morgan interview of Jack Welch! Pretty interesting one at that. When Morgan asked Jack about what it is about Obama's economic plan that he approved of, Jack had a deer in the headlights look for about 15 seconds after which he comes back and says nothing.
I am appalled at this ability of what I thought was fair minded republicans to not give Obama a kudos when he deserves it. I would have thunk that the bailout of the Auto Industry is the single most stellar achievement. Though I am an Indian citizen, I think the saving of the auto industry is not only towards securing American jobs but at a more important level the manufacturing national security of the country.
This is quite the pattern that was at its clearest after the Bin Laden killing.
When Morgan talked about the Dimon disaster, Welch pivoted to how Obama could not have seen the GSA - Vegas disaster, a typical case of republican false equivalency. He said that JPM lost its own money - how about the 2008 bail out mister when it was us that funded the banks!
I used to hold you in high regards Jack, but right now, I am sure that you are a partisan hack!
