The Shit Ass Series: General Electric

                                                   

General Electric used to be a great company.  Old timers may remember that this was the company started by Thomas Alva Edison to make light bulbs.  General Electric once wired millions of homes and halted the tragic trend of homes exploding into fire balls when their old gas pipes blew up.

General Electric used to make great small appliances like coffee makers and hand mixers and toasters.  They made some great refrigerators and electric stoves that lasted for half a century.

Then they go too big for their britches.  Now General Electric Corporation is nothing but a bunch of "shit asses".  They have become a huge conglomerate that makes medical scanners, build huge power plants and produce jet engines.  Nothing wrong with that except they got so damn big they became a global company, became greedy, lost their corporate conscience and told main street America to go to hell.

The same General Electric, with the CEO in Obama's pocket, who made $14 billion dollars in profits last year, yet paid not one dime in taxes.

General Electric bought NBC Universal and built a TV franchise that concentrates on kissing liberal ass and broadcasting liberal propaganda.  They hire desperate characters like convicted felon Al Sharpton and hire only liberal toadies like Keith Olberman and Joe Scarborough and Rachel Maddow and an army of ivy league liberal minorities that hate traditional American values.

G.E. Capital, the finance arm of General Electric, was one of those huge billion dollar banks that got bailed out by Obama and company back in 2009.  Their CEO, Jeffrey Imelt joined Obama's economic recovery team so he is able to keep one foot in the private sector and the other foot in government so that he can better suck up to Barack Obama.

General Electric was forced to sell half of NBC Universal last year to Comcast, another corporate behemoth.  G.E. had to sell off half their stake because Imelt got the company in such dire financial straights that there was no other way to pay the bills.

So, G.E. now farms out most of their manufacturing jobs to China even as Imelt was serving on Obama's Jobs Council, formed to figure out how to bring jobs back to America.  That alone is enough to give today's "shit ass" award to General Electric.

Wipe and Flush.

Well Said!! I hate GE, Jeff Imelt and all they have done to the landscape of a once great America. Now they just take. A company that was once what was great about America became what killed her. It just breaks my heart. I do hate this administration and the idiot who put it in power!
