Originally posted by FMFNot while pretending to have the best interest of the American people at hand... do you? I see a conflict of interest, which he should use to excuse himself from the appointment. But he won't, because he has his eyes set on a bigger prize...

I have no problem with a company going over seas, mine did..But where the problem lies, is in Obama appointing him to help americans, with the economic committee.
We also just saw Ever Green Solar, which received 48 million in stimulus money, declare bankruptcy, and move their operation to China......
so what exactly has Mr. Immelt done that has helped..I'll look around, maybe there is some unknown thing he has accomplished for the 10 % of the people who are unemployed?

Lol, I just bought a pair of Phil Knights Nikes last night..39.00, made in China.
Now how do the chinese make a pair of good shoes, ( i think )ship them over here and sell them for 39 bucks? I also bought addidas socks, made in Viet Nam,, cheaper than cheap...... less regualtions, lower pay for workers?
is that the answer, we stop cleaning up emissions and waste water, and drop pay for all?

Originally posted by Hugh GlassWhat are you complaining about? You just told us that you like Nikes and were glad to buy a pair cheap that was made overseas. You did not present any evidence that they are cheaper because they pollute. Maybe they don't have inefficient regulation; maybe they have pleanty of raw materials available; maybe they aren't crushed by healthcare expenses and union rules like we are in this country.

It is a good thing when people such as yourself are able to obtain products that they desire at cheap prices. Your xenophobic wishes simply would eliminate buying opportunities.

As for GE, they work hand in hand with Obama. If Obama wants American jobs, then he (GE) shouldn't work to give more jobs to China.
