Former General Electric CEO Jack Welch had some harsh words Monday for the current White House resident.

Tweeting during the inauguration, Welch wrote, "[A]ppears Pres. Obama comfortable with high unemployment and huge deficits":

This isn't the first time Welch has made comments about the jobs market.

Last October, he questioned both the accuracy and the timing of the surprising September jobs numbers showing the unemployment rate dipping below 8 percent weeks ahead of Election Day.
