Obama helps strengthen General Electric-Putin ties

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.

Putin is playing Obama for a fool, but, he is so intelligent he just does not understand. The Russian economy is falling apart with oil and gas as their only export to raise cash. Russian just signed a deal with Chevaz of Venezula for nuclear development along with Iran. Tough times ahead as he sells out our national security.

Wow, I was just getting ready to post about the GE/NBC connection, and looked up to see it already posted. And then made aware/reminded of the bailout tie as well. This administration is clearly the most corrupt in American history. Obama makes Nixon seem like a boy scout, and makes Carter look competent.

It would be humorous if he wasn't such a dangerous, incompetent puppet placed in power by those who are seeking the destruction of this country.

GE stands to earn billions on Obama's "Cap and Trade" global warming legislation. Remember President Eisenhower's warnings about the government-industrial complex, which included the military. This GE-Government partnership and the shutdown of defensive missle systems in Poland and the Czech Republic smack of exactly what Ike was warning about. It is beginning to appear Obama is not only incompetent but also dishonest and without honor.

Don't forget all the money GE stands to gain with Obama's cap and trade for green energy. GE is the front runner in green technologies and development.

Sep 17, 2009

I'm not seeing much clear thinking from the peanut gallery. Sure its payback to Immelt, but maybe this is a good sign of a renewed relationship between Russia and the US; which is a much more strategically important relationship than Poland or the Czech Republic, for crying out-loud. Unless this system is a huge upgrade from the useless Patriot missile system then it was more propaganda then a working system. I'm much rather see US companies like GE get the contracts and jobs than Euro, Chinese or Japanese companies, wouldn't you?!!? We absolutely need Russia if we're going to shutdown Iran's nuclear weapons program, period, end of story. That is the primary foreign policy challenge in the near future and this seems like a small price to pay to gain some leverage with Russia.

As he leaves our allies in limbo, scrambling for cover, he dis-assembles the intelligence community (Nancy), cripples the free market economy and taxes our children into oblivion. Our elderly will lose most of what they worked for having to accept what the czars leave them or tell them to accept. The black bigot socialist president will force anyone who disagrees with him to grovel in the face of abusive attacks on their character and shadow groups like acorn, and thirty or forty of the George Soros funded "alliances for" will insure that no counter argument gains any steam. Govt. Moters. , Govt. Electric, Govt. Health, Govt. Media (PBS), Govt.

No news here. Who could have possibly not already known about the Obama-GE ties? I can assure you that future US government contracts awarded to GE will be no-bid contracts. GE is also the only company that doesn't have to separate its banking from their other operations in order to qualify for Federal bailout money. To date they have $160 billion in government money, but you won't even hear them mentioned by the mainstream media. I wonder why?

@Spirit - missile defense is no joke. I'm not sure how recent your information is, but the defense industry (private companies) has already demonstrated the ability to knock out a vast majority of incoming missiles in live tests. The protection offered by missile defense is already real and is becoming more real with each advance in targeting technology.

.."Good for G.E. is good for Russia ...".no wait, how did that go?

I too have seen this obama lockstep by the descamparados (is that right? the "shirtless ones" ala Eva Peron?) coming since the grand innaugerration/anointment

And its getting uglier as it gets challenged more. Wreck on the highway ahead? Acorn plots to run child slavery houses, pro lifers get snuffed by gunfire in the street. And Pelosi is afraid of the law and order crowd? what soviet empire wrote her dictionary?

Sep 17, 2009

Almost in spite of the mainstream media's attempts to run interference for this totalitarian leftist "hope and change" administration, Obama and his cronies keep outdoing themselves and earning the outrage and indignation of The People -- even some of the more attuned less-brainwashed liberals are raising their eyebrows -- by showing newfound levels of corruption, and blatantly and deliberately acting against the strength and best interests of America and The American Way of Life.

It has gotten so clear-cut, the word "corrupt" might as well be written in big bold letters in the sky above Washington.

Amusing (and repulsive) how the mainstream media continue to deliberately ignore and downplay and "spin" one debacle after another, from Fannie and Freddie last year to ACORN to you-name-it. But it ain't going away. People are taking notice and getting informed in spite of the pathetic sham propagandist mainstream media.

Look, Acorn is crap because we are allocating money income without true oversight





Are we as a country redistributing income without oversight? Acorn confirmed my suspion that tax dollars were simply spent. Did they generate income? If income was generated was it legal and productive? Cmon,Imean,cmon, I could not run a business with a sudden infusion of 8.5 billion dollars overnight. We as Americans citizens who want to do the right thing need to make sure that income redistribution acheives its desired effect.
Acorn reminds me of a company well past its' prime. Nobody cares, no instruction on procedure,embarrasing. Any private company that so much as tried to operate as it does would be wiped out. If Acorn has job to do
it is to quit wasting our tax dollars and train, qualify, and help all people learn to live without a cycle of hopeless duplicity. If you look deep that is exactly what is happening.

....someone mentioned Atlas Shrugged. Yeah, it's probably more appropriate to read now than when it was first published in 1957(?). One of Rand's non-fiction books worth (re)reading: Capitalism: an unknown ideal.....
Consider this about Obama, 'he knows how to build consensus among underground types'. (Think on that thought as you lay your head down for a good night's sleep. Let your unconscious roll it over a few times....) what does Obama expect to forge with Putin?....Who do we trust?....

I wonder how many of these anti-GE fanatics could name any one of 10 companies of the military-industrial complex that have been sucking the US
dry (not to mention killing three Kennedys) during
the last 50 years....?
Think of this, simple-minded, baby rednecks: how many mouthpieces have the military-industrial
complex unleashed now that this worthless missile system has been scrapped?

A quid pro quo deal with GE, Obama, and PUTIN: Treason and Bribery. Very impeachable and one that cannot be explained away as "it is just about sex". The Republicans will win in 2012 - and get a majority in the Senate. And Rahm Emmanuel got a lot of Conservatives Democrats in the Senate- the Republicans with a simple majority and the Conservative Dems could find the bozo guilty. It is a High Crime and Obama will go down in 2012.

Good Job Democrats and Liberals - betray the Ukraine in the 30's: 20 million Khalaki Dead, betray Eastern Europe in the 40's: 40 million people dead, Betray China: 100 Million dead, and now Barry the Marxist dupe - how many will this Stalinist wannabe be responsible for? He will also be responsible for the revival of the Soviet Union.

Nein Nein NEIN: there is a Jewish proverb, "in a 1000 years, Hitler will be remembered as a cheap dictator that lived in the TIME OF STALIN" Hitler is a whipping boy: but the love of Liberals: Stalin was a far worse Butcher: just behind Mao: Those 2 together killed over 180 million people. And both of them got their power by the collusion and help of the American Government when LIBERAL DEMOCRATS were in POWER. If you believe in KARMA or REAPING WHAT YOU SOW: a lot of blood will be required of you, and it will probably be at the hands of Muslims, Soviets, and Chinese. All 3 have made cruelty and brutality and "art form".

President Obama on April 5, 2009: "So let me be clear: Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile activity poses a real threat, not just to the United States, but to Iran's neighbors and our allies. The Czech Republic and Poland have been courageous in agreeing to host a defense against these missiles. As long as the threat from Iran persists, we will go forward with a missile defense system that is cost-effective and proven. (Applause.) If the Iranian threat is eliminated, we will have a stronger basis for security, and the driving force for missile defense construction in Europe will be removed."

Hussein Obama and doesn't have a backbone one. He is giving America to the first bidder, and in this case Mother Russia. He is such a joke and THEY protested George Bush...Hussein Obama should be run out of DC on the next plane to Saudi Arabia so he can kiss the Sheik's butt when he bows down to him. Hussein Obama, has never run anything in his life and he is proving it at the expense of us Americans that care about this country. Oh, my mistake, he was counsel for ACORN in the mid-90s....how quaint is that. Go get 'em FOX NEWS....

Let's face it. obama talks out of both sides of his mouth, depending on what he thinks his followers want to hear. I believe he is a tried and true Muslim that is on a jihad to destroy our Federation. Or gain world control with himself, the egomaniac, as Dictator. He is pure evil, but very intelligent and manipulative. He hasn't got it all figured out yet but is working on it. Everything he does follows Hitler. Thank God for Hannity, especially Glenn Beck, Fox news and we independent thinking non-hypnotized people. All his programs, collectively would enslave our people. I really appreciate being able to read the posts on here, but I do disagree with the man who said the he makes Jimmy Carter seem competent. Nothing could make Carter seem competent. Playing the race card. That shows Carters depth of thinking is about as thick as his peanut shells.
obama is the most dangerous man ever to attack America. I'm sure Bin Laudin loves him.

For all you morons out there who believe the conspiracy theories, you might get some useful information if you read more credible sources:

The partisan uproar came despite the endorsement of the move by Robert Gates, the defence secretary, who also served under George Bush and previously supported the missile shield.

Gates said that a new system spread across various countries would provide "a better missile defence capability for our forces in Europe, for our European allies and eventually for our homeland than the programme I recommended almost three years ago."

This results in World Events being relegated to the "Land '0 Fairie".

Sep 18, 2009

Well there ya go, many had been wondering why NBC has been covering up by ignoring stories and flat out sticks with failed highly partisan hosts (Olberman, etc) who do little other than spend an hour a day attacking fox news as well conservatives in general while their ratings continue to plummet. One would have to ask themselves what's in it for them? Now we are starting to see the strategy and how the news reporting and NBC in general can be sacrificed for even greater profits to be had from positioning themselves to profit from Obama's errant policies.

It is sad to see that we live in a nation with so much uneducated, hysteria-ridden, low-life, scum! I suggest that 95% of you brainwashed wastes of lives either go back to school, pick up on of the VARIOUS history books available in circulation (as much as you take it for granted we are lucky enough to live in a country where information is CHEAPLY and READILY AVAILABLE!) and learn a thing or too. Step outside of your box! Research various viewpoints and then see what you think instead of jerking off to Glen Beck and O'Reilly all of your life! They are the ones selling you out for idiot Americans, not Obama. Until then, I am ashamed to share the best nation in the world with scum like you! Yeah I said it, what of it?

ENLIGHTENED AMERICAN - the school books now are a joke. They lie or don't even mention half of what is true about history. You need to go back to the books in the 50's 60's & 70's. I'm not sure about the 80's but I do know that terriost attacked the World Trade Center when Clinton was in office & he did nothing about it. Then on 9/11/2001 they attacked the World Trade Center again & at least Bush went after them. But I did hear that David Brinkley son has written a history book I believe they said was being used in school & he won't even mention that it was terriosts that did it. I am ashamed that the history books are being changed by a bunch of liberals that think it is their job to rewrite history. Maybe that is what is wrong with Obama he studied too much of the wrong history & got too much training in the Muslim religion.
