......Their biggest employer just moved out.

General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha, Wis. , to Beijing; (As in, "China" )

In addition to moving the headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China and train more than 65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United States last year, but paid no taxes - the same company that employs more people overseas than it does in the United States .

So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt is supposed to help create jobs.

I guess the President forgot to tell him in which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs.

Thanks Jeff, you're a "real" American.... and give Obama our Best!

If this doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what does.

Please pass this information to others and think about it before you buy a GE product. (BTW....I stopped buying ANYTHING "GE" not too long after Immelt "took over". Guy's a POS IMO. )

You are correct. The question now becomes; Since Jeffery Immelt is apparently so ineffective as the "Jobs Czar" why hasn't he been replaced? For that matter why hasn't the "Mideast Peace Czar – George Mitchell" been questioned about Bengasi?

Most of these czars get no pay but the ones that do average over a $100,000 a year. What do they do?

Just a note that the majority of those companies mentioned made their moves long before Immelt, let alone Obama, was in place.

Look where he's from......"Taxifornia"! Probably votes for Pelosi, Feinstein and Gov. Moonbeam; he always has to say something stupid every time I post anything.....I pretty much just ignore him; (kinda like what poorly trained dogs do on public sidewalks......just walk around it or step over it.


Just like we ignore you.

years ago GE moved a profitable household iron plant to Mexico so that they could increase profits.

The American people should not buy anything by GE.

I haven't since then

(Are you serious? Obamas "job czar" moves his billion dollar operation to China and the Republicans are at fault? Only a liberal could come up with that logic.)

When have you ever known a liberal to come up with something logical?

Complain about too much govt
Complain about not enough govt
Complain about jobs moving overseas

Complain about not make enough profit to the board of directors and then get mad at them when they reduce the biggest expense in a company - LABOR - by setting up overseas...

Make up your mind as to what you want - you can't have both-

The govt has no place telling private business where to set up shop and how to run their company. If they want to collect taxes on the money's made by the businesses - then the govt needs to fix the tax code.

Right or wrong - it's what we have - live with it or change it but stop complaining about it - you're preaching to the choir and accomplishes nothing -

A year and a half? The past? Four dead and no one held accountable. I'll live in the past until someone tells the truth about what happened. If we have a "Mid East Czar" maybe he can answer the question no one else in the administration will.

Our government continues to lie to us about one thing after the other. I'll live in the past until we get people in office who understand that we want truth not lies.
