GE and the Obama Administration: the Unholy Alliance
The Provocateur ^ | 07/14/2009 | Mike Volpe

There's no doubt that the NBC universe of networks were and still are the most pro Obama networks. There were the bits of anedotal evidence. For instance, there was the infamous incident in which MSNBC announcer proclaimed that listening to the candidate Obama brought a "thrill up his leg". NBC reporter Lee Cowan admitted that "it's hard to stay objective" during Obama speech. This was an admission that anchor Brian Williams called "courageous". Then, there was the scientific evidence like this Media Research Center's, a conservative Media Watch Dog Group, study, during the campaign, that showed that the most bias network was in fact MSNBC. The same MRC ran another study four months after the election and found that the same MSNBC was again the most bias during his presidency. Of course, the White House is well aware of the benefit that MSNBC provides them as this clip shows.

General Electrics has a vested interest in stopping Palin, because her agenda of energy independence threatens GE’s phony “alternative green energy” scheme.

GE Capital gets 135 BILLION dollars, and is called a “bank”;

GE's ONLY money making manufacturing center in 2008 was GE Energy (includes Wind and Gas Turbines).

MSNBC (GE's company) is in the tank for Obama.

I Think it is coincidence.

All that “GE... We Bring Good Things to Light” advertising for years on NBC’s “Meet the Press” finally kicked into concrete political action with Barry Obama’s candidacy. Good luck, NBC. You bought yourself a communist! Don’t be surprised if your dog turns around and bites you before it’s all over.

Okay, what Republicans are lining up with payback for GE once they return to power? Any of them? Will they at least *threaten* to punish GE for its misbehavior?

The Democrats have no problem in punishing corporations that are pro-Republican. They threaten them early and often, and they follow through with those threats.

So why are the Republicans so spineless? They are like an abused, co-dependent spouse, who snivels and whines when being beaten, but when given a chance to protect or defend themselves, will always offer only fairness and kindness.

Because, after all, it is their own fault that they are beaten. It just shows that the Democrats love them.

Jeff Immult, GE’s CEO is also Obama’s economic advisor. He didn’t step down or remove his association with GE. IMAGINE THAT!!

Hey Sean and Mark, did you read this carefully? Fox as well as your shows have GE as an advertiser. Sheeze!

Right. Let’s talk about GE Capital.

Years ago, my company did lots of work for GE. They paid fairly promptly and we had a great relationship.

Over time, they started delaying payment of our invoices until it went from 30 days to 60 days to 120 days and longer.

Finally, I had to say “enough” and we flat-out quit doing business with them.

They pulled this prank with every vendor and they used the money to fund “GE Capital”

You know how labor unions are fond of saying that management is making profits “on the backs of the workers”?

Well, that’s exactly what GE was doing -— making huge profits “on the backs of the vendors.”

Thank you, Jack Welch.

Anyhow, this is the greatest threat to our liberty today -—the political-industrial complex.

Everything they say is a lie.
