Jeepers, I cant wait til the FEC reports on where he spent all that loot. Can you? (/snix)
Energy company sucks up to Obama and loses its stockholders $6 million. Somebody should go to prison over this.
This is a typical way Democrats (and for all I know Republicans but somehow I doubt it) get corporate contributions without having to look like they’re in the pocket of corporations.
Just shake down big banks, utilities, food companies, etc. for “loans” of money, equipment, goods and services. Then, when asked to pay up... just say no.
Company gets to write it off as a bad debt. Democrats can say “we don’t take bribes from big companies.” MSM can concentrate on torpedoing GOP candidates, and life goes on.
They’re converting the (successful) campaign apparatus into a permanent organization to push the Baraqqi theology.
That’s where the money is going.
CHICAGO POLITICS IN DC It was probably forgive the loan, or the EPA would come down on Duke Energy by 0bama & Co.’s Chicago-style politics. To say nothing of IRS audits, DHS auditing employees for domestic terrorism, TSA watchlists, Rahm Emanuel sending them dead horse’s heads, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz parading around-—scaring away customers...just a few of the WH thug’s options.
The WH Chi/mobs dumped on Arizona, Texas and New Mexico when they let loose all the Mexican Criminals....b/c of “budgetary constraints.” That’ll teach ‘em-—”either grovel before us or pay the price in rapes, robberies, murders.”
Democrats in Detroit don’t pay their bills either... is there a pattern here?
Wonder what the ratepayers and stockholders think about that....
a coal company, gave money to the boy trying to KILL them...
the share holder should revolt and demand it come out of the CEO's pay!!!
There’s a campaign finance loophole you can drive a truck through
Par for the course with the libs.
You lay down with dogs, you get fleas. Duke deserves this loss for underwriting evil and lies.
Obama’s FSA on the march.
And they didn’t even get a kiss.
"Sell Mortimer, SEELLL!!! Turn those machines back on!"
Haven’t heard much from Debbie Wasserface. Maybe Obie told her to use the money for an extended cruise. Whatta bunch of crooks.
The DNC steals everyone’s money.
Bill Maher, Arianna Huffington, Rachael Maddow and Jon Stewart should pay up.
A Duke company official said the company was claiming the money as a business expense for tax purposes
If Duke Energy had donated the money outright, they would not have gotten a deduction, since political contributions are not tax deductible. But since they issued it as a loan, they can deduct the loss against their tax liability (provided they get a favorable ruling from Jack Lew's IRS).
Institutionalized corruption.
What do you have to say about this, eh?
The CEO pf Duke Energy, Jim Rogers, is a big Obama supporter and even supports the ruinous carbon tax that would cost Duke’s customers an arm and a leg.
If I were Duke’s shareholders, I would file suit, charging the Democrats with theft.
1) Lay down with dogs, you get fleas.
2) Who the heck is “Mr. Rogers”? I don’t think they’re talkin’ about the “Won’t you be my neighbor” guy.
