I've been questioning it for 14 years hon....looooong before Obama showed up (and I should have been paying attention long before that). Not much is rosy behind the velvet curtain. This isn't, regardless of however many choose to believe otherwise, about Obama. Following the story, Welch sent an e-mail to Reuters' Steve Adler and Serwer saying that he and his wife Suzy, who have jointly written for Reuters and Fortune in the past, were "terminating our contract" and will no longer be sending our "material to Fortune." Reuters' story about Welch's tweet quoted money manager and blogger Barry Ritholtz, who said Welch's comments were laughable. Reuters wrote that Ritholtz comments were referring to allegations that Welch regularly manipulated GE's earnings during his tenure as CEO in order to best Wall Street profit estimates. http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2012/10/09/jack-welch-quits/ Welch suggests data an attempt to recover from debate * White House slams Welch tweet as "ludicrous" * Welch stands by his words but says he "not accusing anyone of anything" How is that not an accusation? The tweet was by no means Welch's first criticism of Obama on his Twitter feed, where he has regularly spoken out in favor of Romney. During the presidential debate in Denver, Colorado, on Wednesday night, Welch tweeted: "HOW can anyone vote for Obama after this performancehe has demonstrated his incompetence." "This guy is the guy that's telling me the books are cooked? That's hilarious," said Barry Ritholtz, CEO and director of equity research at Fusion IQ in New York, which manages about $300 million in assets. Ritholtz, one of the first to respond to Welch's tweet, was referring to the allegation that during his tenure at GE, Welch sometimes used the GE Capital finance unit to sell quickly assets such as real estate and ensure that the largest U.S. conglomerate regularly beat Wall Street profit estimates. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/10/05/usa-economy-jackwelch-idUSL1E8L5E4P20121005
