Jack Welch: Political Leaders 'Deserve a Spanking' for Shutdown Friday, 04 Oct 2013 10:39 AM By Michael Kling Washington politicians' failure to meet with each other, or to schmooze, before the shutdown is appalling, says former General Electric CEO Jack Welch. "It's terrible. Both sides deserve a spanking for this," Welch told CNN's Piers Morgan. "The fact that are not talking, that they haven't been talking for the last six months, is terrible. "The only way you solve these problems is to schmooze, if you will, when you're not in crisis. You don't want the negotiations to be your first date. You want to have been dating all along as you come to a crisis" And that doesn't mean meeting people on your side, Welch says. Leaders must deal with their adversaries. As CEO of GE, he talked frequently with the company's union. That's why the company never had a strike in 21 years, he contends. "We were talking face to face for three years — not just the day of the negotiations. This is a human thing. These guys are acting like robots who don't talk, who don't schmooze, who don't have a beer together, who don't hang out. It's wrong." Welch also stressed the importance of schmoozing in a post for LinkedIn , co-bylined with his wife, Suzy. Schmoozing "early and often" is key, they write. "You can't suddenly burst out of your office to build relationships when you hear rumbles of trouble from down below, and it's certainly too late by the time a crisis flares. No, schmoozing has to be what you do all the time as a leader; it has to be a massive part of your job." The goal is to build trust and transparency, they noted. But instead of building trust and transparency, Congressional leaders are becoming increasingly acrimonious. In the latest example of bad blood, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, a coward, according to Politico. Reid, speaking at a Senate Democratic luncheon, was talking about Boehner's support for federal healthcare contributions from lawmakers and their staff. Reid's relationship with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kent., has also deteriorated, as Democrats believe McConnell is too preoccupied with his re-election to be effective, Politico reports. Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., think Boehner is more concerned about keeping is post has House speaker than reaching an agreement. Republican leaders think Reid helped cause the shutdown to help his party win elections next year.

Spanking? Hell, my suggestions involve a bullwhip and a noose.
ROTFLOL! I do not think I've ever seen a good bullwhipping, or even a good lynching in my time. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
B-b-b-b-but that is part of the circus - it keeps people diverted from the reality of Oh'bummerCare in that it is really a State controlled mechanism to control der Sheople. "“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha Obamacare has been designed to fail. When it does, they will give us all the dreaded nationalized healthcare. This will be the death knell of modern healthcare, and will ration things like your ability to see a specialist, or even to have necessary procedures done. It will make healthcare in the U.S. similar to what they get in Canada since they have that style of healthcare there already. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Actually, while, to some extent, I agree with you, I think it goes even deeper than that. If you look at what Oh'bummerCare enables the guffermint to do under the guise of "hellthcare" this can be better likened to the "Enabling Act" combined with "1984". There is much in this bill that has much more to do with government power and authority over the individual, and which has little or nothing to do with hellthcare. That is why I refer to it as a Trojan Hearse. Using "hellthcare for all" as a cover legend was perfect for selling this monster to der Sheeple. What it is in reality is an enabling act for a super-facist state combined with a controlled kill off of der "Useless Eaters" as Henry the K termed us. "“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.” ~ Gautama Siddhartha — The Buddha If "spanking" is the worst threat that crooked politicians face, this explains a lot.
John Howard says: There are 4 schools of economics: Democrats don't mind war as long as they can have big government. Republicans don't mind big government as long as they can have war. Canadians are shaking in their boots. Where will they go to get prompt, excellent medical services if the US gets single payer health care?
Cuba? “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
When we drove the big truck to Miami to pick up flowers, we would go into the Cuban restaurant for lunch. There was this little Cuban girl there who was a waitress. When I would say something to her, she would think a little and then stomp her foot because she could not think of the right words. They were light skinned, which meant they had lots of Spanish blood. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Yes, when you go to Spain, that population is as light-skinned as any other European country.

Germany refined her weapons during the Spanish Civil War in 1937-38 on the side of the fascists. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
