It is however the only US corporation that used to own NBC where Keith Olbermann once worked and ridiculed oreally on an almost daily basis.

Perhaps he doesn't realize that Comcast now owns NBC and he needs to start trashing them.

Hell, if he did that I might agree with him.

There's nobody worse than comcast.

They are not shipped there, they were created there, for their economy.
They still have to pay a royalty to the US Corporations.
GE is a world wide Company and didn't bankrupt US jobs for the purpose
to avoid US taxes, like Rmoney did.

Because I have received several emails on it from family members. Outrage in them that GE sent its xray or some such wing of their company overseas. These are the same people who are outraged when anyone attempts to regulate companies.

GE is a big player in wind and high-speed rail. Big Oil/ API has declared war on them.

They sometimes do that when they disagree about why the masses seem restive

1. Obama was never the CEO of GE
2. Obama never earned a salary from GE
3. Obama never directly profited from the GE business model
4. There is a difference between A) having overseas operations and B) sending existing US jobs overseas to maximize profits for your investors (especially when one of your investors is "yourself&quot

You're not a simple man Bill, but you are either disingenuous or dishonest, and that's not even close to the same thing...

He was the guy that was competing with Hannity to inherit the Limbaugh Legacy.

That was back before Glenn Beck came along and made a mockery of all three of them.

Or was that Colbert?

Come to think of it,...it was both...
