"We need some more campaign funds".

"Ya let's see, why not create a new Czar position?"

"I know we'll get Immelt, he manufactures high cost Diagnostic
medical equipment, fit right into our Health Care Plan and will
donate big time to our campaign funds.

"But his company has broken sanctions with Iran."

"Thats OK it will show Iran we really don't take our foreign
policy that seriously, we really want to make them feel the're OK."

"Sounds good, win-win, give him a call."
If you wanna whine about Obama, the toilet is the next forum down.

Your rigth, I thought this thread included talk of leadership, or lack of it, and his
does belong in the toilet.

If you actually moved beyond Fox News shock peices and actually researched, you'd see lots of companies that are both American, and with American interests do business with Iran.

But that would ruin the argument now wouldn't it?

Here's a start for your research:
Honeywell
Ingersoll Rand

No arguement here, just pointing out the poor judgement of appointing Immelt
as a "Job Czar."
