Jeff Immelt Complicit in Jobs Council Charade

I am pretty sure that GE CEO Jeff Immelt didn't just fall off the turnip truck, so the fact that he - and the others on the "jobs council" - have been used as props by Dear Leader, means that they allowed themselves to be used as props by Dear Leader.  I sure hope they got something for it, the American people sure haven't.

President Barack Obama's Jobs Council hit a notable milestone on Thursday: one year without an official meeting. The 26-member panel is also set to expire at the end of the month, unless Obama extends its tenure.

The group, formally known as the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, last convened on Jan. 17, 2012 for a White House session where it presented formal recommendations to Obama. It was the panel's fourth official meeting since it was created in early 2011.

A spokesman for Jobs Council chairman Jeffrey Immelt, who's the CEO of General Electric, referred questions about the panel's future to the White House.

This is much the same as Warren Buffett and Paul Volcker allowed their reputations to be co-opted by Obama the first time around.  What do they see in this guy that they are OK with being used like this?
