I've written before about what I believe to be an unethical ties between this administration and General Electric. Well, it seem President Obama has abandoned all pretense of the coy dating relationship and has slipped on the wedding band. GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt has been appointed to an official position (he was already an economic advisor) with the administration as chairman of the new Council on Jobs and Competitiveness (Dear Irony, today...). Because what I'm looking for in someone to work on economic growth is a guy whose company received the second largest bailout from the administration that is appointing him to do so. Luckily, MSNBC, the media branch of GE that just merged with Comcast under the approval of the administration, is pretty fair and balanced...oh, wait.
