At the same time, GE has avoided many of the restrictions facing other financial giants getting help from the government.

Did any of you blaming this on Obama actually stop to read the article? This was all set up before Barack came into office!
I think there was a tro// here today with your avatar? gringolingo or some such nonsense?
Loopholes, always causing so much trouble.
DID ANY OF YOU BOTHER TO READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE. THE LOOPHOLE WAS CREATED ON OCTOBER 21. GE MADE IT'S MOVE TWO DAYS LATER. GUESS WHO WAS PRESIDENT.
Easy there, Pardner. We're with ya. dB^D
Bankington Post has to keep the outrage going.
it's not outrage.
it's dung beetles jonezing for a fix.
the bankington post, i mean.
that didn't come out right.,
I don't blame you for using all caps and shouting. I kind of feel like doing that too. Heck I think I will - stress buster you know.
IF EVERYONE DOESN'T PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AND STAY ON TOP OF IT ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED UNDER BUSH WILL BE FILED UNDER OBAMA AND IT IS NOT FAIR.
That felt good.
It's still going on.
They need to send the entire top tier of the corporations that got us in this mess packing.
Giethner was working with Paulson before he was appointed under Obama.
Bankington Post strikes again.
As usual, eh?
Wow, the bailout thingy is like a giant Energizer Bunny... it keeps going and going and going.
Large companies and corporations need to be restructured so that all employees have part ownership. Everyone gets a say in what happens with their company, and no more transference of wealth to the top 1% off the blood and sweat of the actual workers. This elitist nonsense and runaway capitalism has gone too far.
GE is Obama's halliburton. I can't wait for the no bid contracts given to GE for "clean energy" projects.
Nice try...
Apples & oranges.
Yeah because the President spent so much time working for them before he was elected...
The government's actions have been "powerful and helpful" to the company, GE chief executive Jeffrey Immelt acknowledged
IN DECEMBER.
President Obama's plan:
... reaffirm and strengthen the wall between banking and commerce, forcing companies like GE to essentially choose one or the other.
I hope this doesn't affect 30 Rock.
Hahaha
One of the biggest mistakes this country ever made is when they made corporations "persons". That is utterly preposterous!
It WAS a LITERAL mistake...
In Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad, a CLERK misinterpreted the findings & the rest is "history".
oops......
GE= military industrial comlplex
to which Obama just got another 100 nillion dollars for while escalating the wa r in palkistan and afghanistan
OF COURSE THIS IS NO COINCEDINCE
Talk about a coincidence, that lemon looks just like one that used to belong to someone else.
Right. Why did you replace one stolen avatar with another? That lemon belongs to LemonMeringue?
