“Government Electric”

They are the #1 recipient of TARP funds.

They are now a wholly own subsidiary of ACORN / Obummer.

Just watch their propoganda / commercials. They’ve gone over to the dark side.

GE sucks up to Obama while sucking up TARP funds

Washington Post:

General Electric, the world’s largest industrial company, has quietly become the biggest beneficiary of one of the government’s key rescue programs for banks.

At the same time, GE has avoided many of the restrictions facing other financial giants getting help from the government.

The company did not initially qualify for the program, under which the government sought to unfreeze credit markets by guaranteeing debt sold by banking firms. But regulators soon loosened the eligibility requirements, in part because of behind-the-scenes appeals from GE.

If a connection can be proved between Obama ditching the anti-missile shield and GE’s impending Russian deal it could be Obama’s Watergate. This is how the Clinton’s operated for eight years and resulted in the Jamie Gorelick “wall” being erected between CIA-FBI information sharing. Glenn Beck will have fun with this one.

Wow. People should be outraged over this - is it even legal?

Btw, Jeffrey Immelt is on Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board. Immelt was also recently appointed to the Board of Directors of the New York Federal Reserve Bank.

Oh, and GE hired Linda Daschle (Tom Daschle’s wife) as a lobbyist.

Thanks. This is huge and largely unknown, even to the relatively informed pajamahadeen and could give critical mass to the opposition if it can be concisely and widely aired (Beck).

~~0’s twisted deal with Russia .. PING!

A comment from Politico’s article about this says it all:

###

“Putin announced today that his country will open up trade talks with General Electric -— the most prominent supporter (monetarily and through its puppets NBC and MSNBC) of Barack Obama.

Plus, GE stands to get filthy rich off of Obama’s cap-and-trade proposal . . . at the expense of the American taxpayer.

The depth of corruption and sleaze of Barack Obama has no apparent limit.
