The Real Story how Obama got Elected to the Senate

[Linda Maddox]

In real life, Obamas's marketing image of his campaign, is a sham. Obama won the 1996 election months before a single vote was cast. He had all of his opponents thrown off the ballot for their petition signatures. He won unopposed. It was perfectly legal through certainly not the act of the political reformer Obama has since pretended to be.

There is a lot more is in the article "The two faces of Barack Obama". The magazine is called Townhall, townhall.com.

There is another very interesting article, "Government Electric". Everything that Obama does makes GE money. In a letter to shareholders two weeks after Obama's inauguration. GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt showed the company's hand: "The global economy, and capitalism, will be "reset" in several important ways. The interaction between government and business will change forever. In a reset economy, the government will be a regulator; and also an industry policy champion, a financier, and a key partner."

Everywhere that Barry went, GE was sure to go:

Obama pushes a cap-and-trade scheme for curbing greenhouses gasses-GE invests in greenhouse gas credits.

Obama advocates federal support for expanding high-speed rail across the country-GE ramps up its investment in high-speed rail.

Obama dedicates federal funding to embryonic stem-cell research that destroys human embros-GE partners with stem-cell giant Geron.

Obama announces a federal push to curb health care expenses-GE lanches "healthyimagination," an initiative pitched as creating more affordable high-tech medical products.

The timing between the Obama pushes and the GE investments cuts both ways, as does the causality, it seems: GE is swaying the White House as well as following the White House closely.
