Some 40% of the roughly 700 waivers issued on Obamacare have gone to the Democrats’ liberal allies in the labor unions who, ironically enough, campaigned long and hard to get Obamacare passed. But now we learn that waivers from Obamacare isn’t where the cronyism is going to end.
Guess who just got a big, fat waiver from new EPA rules? Why, none other Obama’s good friend General Electric whose CEO Jeff Immelt is one of Obama’s economic advisers.
I wonder how long it will take someone to challenge this selective enforcement of the law in court. After all, it surely can’t be constitutional for the federal government to establish laws or regulations and then selectively pick and choose who those laws/regulations apply to.

And the regime can say that there are no Gov’t owned companies with a straight face. This is corrupt and the GOP better investigate.
And the one where they're making energy from cow farts?
Will they have to stop those or will they get to keep showing them?
What’s to investigate? These guys are not trying to hide anything. They are quite open about their graft.
How the mighty have fallen...
Geeze! The Obama administration is like the Vatican selling indulgences.
Its OK. The original cap-and-trade CO2 restrictions passed by Pelosi’s House waived EPA/CO2 restrictions on democrat districts, and added extra restrictions on republican districts.
...when you compare what GE’s corporate tax rate is 3.6% with others like Home depot,wallymart,and others...it is strange.
Guess that stuff about special interests and CHENEY and Hilaburton don’t matter anymore to the average rat....or the MSM
What a racket; pass draconian laws, then exempt people from it who pay you tribute.
This kind of criminal activity is why revolutions were invented.
There is no longer any pretense to fairness or objectivity with the left. Our Masters know what’s best for us and can do whatever they wish. What is most frightening is that they don’t see anything wrong with what they are doing.
General Electric is really a Hedge Fund that has been masquerading as a Company.
Not a surprise.
Lets keep an eye on which corporations are in cahoots with fascist-socialist governments.
The beauty of the con is that everybody forgives their Party. Every time. Which is why it’s always business as usual no matter who is in charge.
We have turned into Nazi Germany.
I would say that it is certainly not constitutional for the Congress to pass a law and then for the President to declare that specific people need not obey it. The Legislative Branch passes laws. The Executive Branch enforces them impartially. That is what happens under the rule of law.
GE is traveling the road to perdition, making lots of enemies. Immelt is up to his eyeballs in crony fascism. We’ve seen this crap before in 1930’s fascist Germany. This will not end well.
Wow! Someone who actually know what indulgences were and the corruption of moral authority that followed!
My regards to you, sir!
Nice way to take a dump on the equal protection clause in the 14th amendment.
