Reuters reports an interesting nugget in the wake of President Barack Obama's decision to grant Vladimir Putin his wish and kill the Eastern European missile shield:
Shortly after the pullback on the shield programme was announced, Russia's government said Prime Minister Vladimir Putin would meet several U.S. executives on Friday from firms including General Electric, Morgan Stanley as well as TPG, one of the world's largest private equity firms
General Electric may be the company with the closest ties to the Obama administration (if not, GE is second only to Goldman Sachs), and here we see the company benefiting from an abrupt foreign policy change made by President Obama. But GE isn't the only company benefiting. Reuters paints the broader picture:
"U.S. companies have arguably lost out to some European companies in joint ventures, and better diplomacy will likely improve the chances for investors in the strategic sectors of the Russian economy," said Carlo Gallo, senior Russia analyst at London-based consultancy Control Risks.
GE CEO Jeff Immelt sits on Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, and GE owns MSNBC, the network famously friendly to Obama.
Even then I don't think they had enough to "s"elect Chairman Hillary.
And GE is in charge of that medical database that got slipped into the “stimulus” package— the one you can’t opt out of.
Don’t have the links handy, but it’s been discussed at some length in the comments at Gateway Pundit.
I really dislike Jeffrey Immelt. No, I mean REALLY!
Anybody doubt the connect between MSNBC big government bias and GE's close relationship to Obama, Putin and other thugs around the world?
It's all about GE wanting to do business with tyrants and it's all about GE broadcasting on their media outlets the propaganda of tyrants.
Liberals selling the rope to hang us.
