closer encounters

The President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness
just had Jeffrey Immelt, G-E CEO, appointed as its leader:
this choice provokes
questions
because G-E is one of the companies that sends jobs overseas and slurps up government bail-out $$ -- corporational "welfare," since the "downturn."

This guy sounds like he represents opposite of what's good for American worker and economy.
As I read the burst of Comments from
disappointed / outraged / exhausted Obama supporters,
kept thinking I'd encounter someone saying the thing I was thinking, but didn't:

Lyndon Johnson was kind of known for one of his quaint Texas-drawl-"politicisms"
(I'm inventing that as a word):
----------------- "Keep your friends close...
and your enemies closer."-----------------
Have no idea if Pres. Obama can make that -- or anything -- work.
LBJ was a unique Powerhouse of Persuasion. He had a God-given talent, like Chuck Berry, which he matched in hard work, determination, and Love of his Work and the Process.
-------------------------
Nobody else can be Lyndon Johnson.
But we shall see what Barack Obama can be.
