This article on Politico covers how Google has been using its business influence to become a player in the Obama administration and on Capitol Hill, becoming influential in policy circles. Nothing all that new there. Except when you consider that Google has been harvesting (read: stealing) data from Wi-Fi networks, or that it has been accused of snooping on members of Congress, or that the White House violated it's own lobbying pledge with Google, or that Google wants to choose what news is delivered to you. You know when you're alone and you can't shake the feeling that some dark presence is in the room with you? I'm guessing that's Google.
