Obama Pisses on the Constitution...Again

yup

WHAT IS THE OBAMA & GENERAL ELECTRIC CONNECTION?

The Comcast Cable NBC/Universal merger has been in a regulatory limbo since the announcement with the FCC & Justice Department unsure if the deal would stifled competition.
Once the deal closes, Comcast will acquire a 51 percent stake in NBC Universal from General Electric Co, creating a $30 billion business that would include broadcast, cable networks, movie studios and theme parks. Source: Reuters.
Clearly, the Comcast GE multimedia conglomerate will prove immensely profitable for the two companies now that the FCC/DOJ approval went through a few days ago.
Oddly enough, President Obama named now former GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt to a new position inside the Administration. Immelt will be the Chairman on the Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. Wait! A General Electric CEO that had to be a part of the Comcast Cable merger with NBC/Universal is now named to a White House position! This is screwed up on so many levels! How can nobody see what is happening? GE was one of the President Obama’s biggest campaign supporters and donors back in 2008 and now this happens! Don’t tell me the FCC and the DOJ were told to look the other way over this $30 billion deal. http://gillreport.com/2011/01/what-is-the-obama-general-electric-connection/...I...;s good to hear that the local movement has a grip on reality. They correctly protested Obama and his Wall Street connections last month. On the contrary, the occupation in New York City that Occupy Iowa City stands in solidarity with has not been so outspoken.

This is troubling, since there is more to this story than I let on. Jon Corzine — the former New Jersey governor, former Goldman Sachs board member, and longtime Democrat and Obama supporter — was the head of MF Global. Between him and his employees, according to federal elections data, more than $600,000 was donated this year to the DNC and the Obama re-election campaign.

Is it unreasonable to think that some of those "missing funds" might have found their way into an Obama bank account? Not at all. Even though the Obama campaign has said they will return any funds involved in the scandal, it doesn't change the fact that it happened.

But wait, there's more. A recent bond sale by MF Global included a clause that showed that there would be a 1 percent rise in the interest rate if Corzine were appointed to a post in the Obama administration, which was looking to him as a replacement for Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
http://www.dailyiowan.com/2011/11/10/Opinions/25911.html...President Obama doesn't take campaign contributions from lobbyists -- unless you count the owners and CEOs of lobbying firms, corporate vice presidents for government relations, or managing directors for public policy.

"We don't accept any money from special-interest groups or Washington lobbyists," the Obama campaign bragged in a recent email touting the $70 million raised last quarter by the campaign and the Democratic National Committee. But if you comb through the actual filings with the Federal Elections Commission, you see how misleading this claim is.

Wealthy revolving-door banker Peter Orszag epitomizes everything Obama ran against. Orszag was Obama's budget director until the 2010 elections at which point he cashed out to bailed-out megabank Citigroup. A Citi executive touted Orszag's "key ... government experience" and "his expertise in economic policy." In other words, Orzag has monetized his public service and sold it to Citi, which, like all big banks, counts on favorable government policy for its profits.

Apparently feeling fairly plush after nine months at a Wall Street salary, Orszag cut a $35,800 check last month to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee that divides its funds between the official Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee. To sum up: Orszag gained inside knowledge and connections on the taxpayer dime, put them to work for a big bank, then used his salary from this bailed-out bank to give the maximum contribution to the man who hired him in the White House.

Orszag's tale may be the most unseemly, but revolving-door influence peddlers are common at Obama fundraisers. Kathy Brown is Verizon's senior vice president for "public policy development and corporate responsibility." The telecom giant's website says she is "responsible for federal, state and international public policy development and international government relations for Verizon." Like Orszag, Brown's a revolver, having leveraged her time at Bill Clinton's Federal Communications Commission (which regulates Verizon) into a K Street lobbying job before taking over Verizon's lobby shop. Brown has given $17,900 to the Obama Victory Fund.

Verbosity does little to cover raging paranoia.

President Obama's latest OMB director is from Bain Capital.

So what?

1%ers in the circle jerk.

is that like masterbation?

dont think he needs any help looking bad. this is a widely covered story, way beyond a simple rumor my friend

Perhaps a crack rock; I wonder if he's still smoking that shit. There's not a chance in hell that the big eared freak gets elected again, normal Americans have had enough.

The only thing about Obama that looks bad is the right wing do nothin congress that idiots like you put on his back to have to deal with
