Because the Obama Regime is a fully owned subsidiary of GE.

Even they are not stupid enough to bite the hand that feeds them

GE’s Jeffrey Immelt is on the board of the NY Federal Reserve Bank. That is why.

Under Fascism, private companies that cooperate with the government and do its bidding are allowed to remain under private control, are protected from competition, and avoid midnight visits from the Gestapo, or whatever government organization carries on in the tradition of that organizaiton.

GE is part of the cabal and will benefit from their deal with the Chosen One.

Goldman sachs will not be touched also

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The $173 billion government rescue of American International Group Inc (AIG.N) is stoking resentment among investors who see it as a backdoor taxpayer bailout of Goldman Sachs (GS.N) and other banks.

Ironically, this weeks episode of 30 Rock (the NBC comedy) was about Jack Donaghy’s (Alec Baldwin playing the CEO of GE) arch-nemisis Will Arnett worming his way into the Obama administration to get revenge on Baldwin by using the TARP fund powers to try to take over GE.

GE is the American equivalent of Germany's Krupp in WW2, except Krupp didn't sell weapons to Germany's enemies.
