In case you need a reminder, here is a link to my long ago post about the association between General Electric and the Obama administration. Revelations today make it even more clear that President Obama is in bed with G.E. (maybe literally). It seems G.E. received $24.9 million in "stimulus" grants while they cut 18,000 jobs. Oh, and the apparently capital starved company made $156 billion last year. G.E. also received jobs as the primary contractor for four other stimulus grant recipients. Democrats raged that Haliburton, who was the only contractor capable of performing all aspects of the job, had been associated with Dick Cheney, who gave up his interests in the company well before he became Vice-President and yet somehow, no one seems to care that the President of G.E. is on the President of the United States' council of economic advisers and his company has benefited immensely from programs the President has implemented and potentially could benefit from programs he advocates.
