Like what Rick Perry is doing? I didnt know that was wrong. It just proves America is a Capitalist Country, anything can be bought or sold.

Too bad Perry didnt do anything. Anyone can offer whatever support they want, show me where it was reciprocated and youve got something to talk about. And btw, you should try to do better than "thinkprogress" as a source. There is little they write that cant be easily discredited, as is this attempt to smear someone over nothing.

Does it really matter that thinkprogress is a leftist site. After all I said I see nothing wrong with what GE is doing. So you will never accept a leftist site for reporting their Facts and Evidence. Maybe this Miami Herald Article on how Rick Perry became a millionaire while in office is more neutral but then again we know the mainstream media has a liberal bias except for the Most Watched 24 hour new network Fox News who is not mainstream by being the most watched. After I m just posting links because we all know that liberals cannot accept what say to be true, they want us to back it up with "proof". Like this whole Michele Bachmann vaccine thing. Just accept it as fact.

You're posts have actually been quite educational. Until you came along I didn't realize that the schools in Hawaii are as bad as they are in Hudson County, NJ.

The "problem" isn't necessarily what GE is doing, if it is legal.  What is questionable is the ethics and morality of Obama and his minions, who rail against "Big Business" and the "super-rich who don't pay their fair share" and such, and then coddles one of the worst examples of the types of businesses he excoriates.

While trying to pretend to be a conservative he gets confused with his lib talking points. He doesnt even remember that his profile says he hates conservative politics. And he claims he's 27. My "guest" is his mom regulates his internet usage.

Maybe this belongs in the Orwell thread?

From the Rest easy, the Fox is guarding the hen house Department:

GE responds to charges of crony capitalism






General Electric, with a larger lobbying budget than any other company in America, has long lobbied for and profited from Big Government. Since Obama tapped GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt as Job Czar, this critique has spread throughout the Right.

When it came out that GE's U.S. corporate income tax bill for 2010 was $0, anti-GE sentiment grew on the Left and Right. Finally, at the latest Republcian debate Newt Gingrich attacked GE for profiting from Obama-style green-energy loopholes.

So today, GE responds: "There has been a lot of talk lately about GE and what some call crony capitalism. Unfortunately, those same people don’t want the facts to get in the way of their political rhetoric."

...

"We are not receiving special treatment"

This is a hard one to believe. GE, again, spends more on lobbying than any other company. Its lobbyists include Linda Daschle, whose husband Tom was the Senate Majority Leader and today is a confidant of Obama. Former senior Ways & Means Committee member Jim McCrery is a lobbyist for GE as is former House Democratic Leader Dick Gephardt. Former Senators Trent Lott and John Breaux are GE lobbyists. Immelt has been an official advisor to Obama through his whole presidency.
...

"Last year, only 4 percent of our revenue came from sales to the U.S. government."

This is really off target. The dig at GE is not that it makes all its money selling to the U.S. government. It's that it finds all sorts of ways to profit off of big government, including subsidies and regulations.

Off the top of my head, here are a few ways:

• GE is a top beneficiary of Export-Import Bank subsidies.
• GE bought up an embryonic stem-cell business just after President Obama announced the government would start subsidizing them.
• GE owns half of Greenhouse Gas Services, a business that generates and trades in greenhouse-gas credits -- something that only has value if government constrains GHG emissions.
• GE is a leading manufacturer of wind turbines, which receive all sorts of federal and state subsidies.
• GE lobbied for and benefits from the light-bulb efficiency regulations that drive consumers to more expensive light bulbs.
• On the state level, GE gets generous "incentives" (subsidies) from governments. Consider this Virginia case.
• GE got $140 billion bailout from the FDIC in 2008.

I would like GE to explain why this isn't corporatism or crony capitalism.

Right. Theres nothing to see here folks, so just keep moving along...

I dont mind if Obama becomes a Republican and supports jobs and businesses but for him to rail against business and "the rich" while he is turning tricks with these flea infested dogs described in the OP is blatantly hypocritical of him

More disingenuous nonsense to attack the Obama administration.

Even from what you posted you have to realize this has been going on for many years.

In case it escaped your attention, your own link states 2008, when Bush was in office.

But you are just trying to stir up shit as usual without even paying attention to what you post.

Wait I dont get what GE is doing wrong? Its no different than Dick Chaney did with Halliburton, Oil Companies with government subsidies, or Michele Bachmann Clinic? America is Capitalist and I dont under stand why its such a big deal that the government is buying GE products when it apparently needs GE products because the guy at the top says so. After all forcing the government spend tax payer money isnt Socialist, it just good business.
