So Obama moves to the center, appoints Immelt to biz friendly post, GE cans KO same day

[TheWebHead]

GE still maintains a large stake in NBC Universal after the Comcast merger, so don't discount the possibility of a president moving to the center for reelection may want to get rid of the most visible figure from the left that has a history of hitting Obama with critiques from his left flank. Just sayin'

[Cronus Protagonist]

1. He moves to the RIGHT, not the center

And he only moves to the RIGHT. I'd like him to move to the LEFT a few times to get closer to the center.

[TheWraith]

2. Right. Obama fired Olbermann.

DU rules prevent me from describing how ridiculous that is. :P

9. Really!

I wonder if President Obama is responsible for *'s appointment in 2000, and maybe even for Nixon's election.

[Davis_X_Machina]

12. No not true. Rahm fired Olberman....

....but at Obama's request.

[polmaven]

16. And the latest word is

that Tony Hayward told the president that was the only way to get his life back!

[TheWraith]

13. And you want to know the only thing that makes it more ridiculous?

Immelt's known to be pretty left-leaning, and was one of Keith's big allies at MSNBC, the guy who kept pulling Phil Griffin off Keith's back.

[polmaven]

18. I have known that about Immelt

for a while. He is not at all the corporate "stooge" that so many here make him out to be.

17. du rules prevent me from describing how ridiculous your straw man is.

[TheWraith]

19. From someone who buys straw by the kiloton, I'll take that as a compliment. nt

[Hannah Bell]

21. point out where the poster said obama fired olbermann if you dispute the charge of straw.

[MadBadger]

25. Its pretty much the whole point of the OP...

"so don't discount the possibility of a president moving to the center for reelection may want to get rid of the most visible figure from the left that has a history of hitting Obama with critiques from his left flank. Just sayin'"


Okay, so the poster is saying that there is a possibility of this happening...which is still ridiculous bullshit.

6. Actually COMCAST has majority

and it was COMCAST who did it.

[FrenchieCat]

8. I knew it!

This is Obama's fault too! Just think, anything that happens can be his fault, cause as President, he deals with so many people everywhere. Just blaming him makes life simple and accountability free for everyone else! So Cool! :crazy:

[tavalon]

23. Hey, guess what?

I don't think this had a damn thing to do with Obama. Really.

[MadBadger]

10. There are no nice words that can be said to you.

[lonestarnot]

11. I thought tool would be nice.

[unkachuck]

14. "...appoints Immelt to biz friendly post, ..."

....maybe Obama thinks putting all his eggs in the corporate basket, corporate America will bake him an economic souffle in two years....

....I'm sure Obama must realize that no matter how cooperative he may be today that corporate America in 2012 will expect him to quietly disappear and make way for a proper Republican president....

....scramble eggs at best....and as of today, he does not have my vote....

[uppityperson]

15. And severe winter weather killed a bunch of cows in Vietnam. Wow.

[robinlynne]

20. bullshit.

[tavalon]

22. I'm uninclined to believe this

Coincidence, methinks.

26. My first thought, too. (GE + MSNBC) + (GE + Obama) - KO = 0

500,000 jobs unpacking goods shipped from China. Millions of living wage jobs shipped overseas.
