That all goes to Obama's friends Buffett and Imelt... and nope, I'm not being sarcastic... it's a follow bouncing ball scenario.. Buffett buys into GE, Imelt is added to Obama's economic team, GE makes the wind turbines......Buffett gets richer, Imelt saves his job with GE... oh, and people don't question the need for windmills because GE's subsidiaries NBC, MSNBC and CNBC have all been hitting home we are going to die from global warming for several years now...
Oh, and for good measure one of the other people on the economic team happens to be heavily invested in green and employees Al Gore.

Check out John Doerr, too. Obama just appointed him to his economic advisory board. Doerr, of Kleiner Perkins venture capital, has been manipulating California law for years to benefit their select green investments. Now they're taking it national.

"That all goes to Obama's friends Buffett and Imelt... it's a follow bouncing ball scenario..

9. Warren Buffet = major investor in Goldman Sachs for $5 billion (he said to Maria Bartiromo on CNBC that he would only have made investment if he knew a taxpayer bailout would be approved). He took perpetual preferred shares with a dividend yield of 10%, or $500 million a year. Those dividends take precedence over other payments to common shareholders. Seems like a sweet deal. Why didnt Paulson consider this approach? Maybe because it doesnt provide a door for his investment buddies to get their preferred shares, it only helps the taxpayer
?
10. Warren Buffet = insurance company investor (GEICO, General RE, etc.)
