lol.... At least Immelt said, "I'm not wild about the regulations, but, to be candid, we deserve it. We screwed up. At General Electric, we will keep our mouths shut and focus on doing our jobs." Or something like that. He sounded like a real person. But then, Charlie Rose is such a suck-up to people like Immelt. In fact, to most of the people he has on his show, maybe that's why they go on there. He does seem to make them feel comfortable.

<<How about Obama gaining the trust and gratitude of the Democratic Party?>> I made my last post before I saw your post. Exactly, what about the dems? It almost seems at times he really doesn't much care for the Democratic party and certainly not the liberals e.g. (his quit whining comment echoed by Gibbs and Rahm)? If we lose that seat in Mass, will it have been worth it. And Hagel for defense, a hard core Republican? LIke we Dems don't have anyone we can put in defense? Hagel voted with the pubs for years/decades and we all know they are out to lunch (their philosophy of life is simplistic and wrong, their solutions ar wrong!), so why would a dem make Hagel Secretary of defense? If Hagel cannot see the pubs for who they are over decades, why would we trust his thinking on something as important as defense now? I am sorry but that is nutso logic.
