Highly regarded former General Electric CEO and New York Times best selling author,Jack Welch, was interviewed this morning in an interesting economy-centric segment on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Mr. Welch served as Chief Executive Officer of GE from 1981 through 2001 and under his stewardship, the company increased its sales by some 380% (from revenues of $27 Billion in 1980 to $130 Billion in 2000) !
In the below three minute clip, the highly accomplished and often dynamic Mr. Welch shares some of his candid, proprietary, 'STRAIGHT FROM THE GUT' thoughts on President Obama and the current timetable of his ambitious agenda(FYI, President Obama's 2009 budget currently forecasts$3.2 TRILLION of government spending). Worth the watch:
