Make no mistake, when Saturday Night Live does a "sketch" lambasting the media for it's alleged easy treatment of Obama, it does so to support the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, not to get a cheap laugh, which is the usual for SNL. It doesn't take a detective to understand that SNL is on NBC which is owned by none other than GE or General Electric. Hillary herself appeared on the show right after the opening skit. I suppose to just drive the point home for those laughing so hard they didn't notice the thinly veiled endorsement. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with this, I just want to connect the possible dots.
General Electric is in several businesses under it's conglomerate status. A little research showed me that the largest sector of GE is involved with Finance. I didn't know that. GE Finance has global reach. GE is also involved with all the products you see advertised on TV plus considerable Jet Engine, AERO Space, Medical and Health Care technology involvement. They are indeed a defense contractor. But I just scratched the surface. GE is huge, depending on the list you find, GE is either the 1st or 2nd largest company in the world. For the record, GE is rated high as a company to work for by employers and employees. GE has been around over 100 years and they have had their troubles. Some scandals with selling Israel jet parts and several unresolved run ins with the EPA stand out in recent history.
So why should GE endorse Hillary Clinton? Did they? Well, unofficially through their NBC show SNL. I know, Lorne Micheals says he's an independent producer, but these kind of coincidences will indeed create questions. So what's my point? My point is there just might be some substantive differences between the candidacies or Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton after all. At least as far as General Electric is concerned. Did anyone really believe that Barack Obama was a threat to Finance, Defense and other top dollar Corporations? I didn't until I sat and watched him be lampooned on the General Electric Network Show, Saturday Night Live.
Suddenly I'm more interested than ever in Barack Obama. And it's also true that as if on cue from that SNL Skit there have been several other media scrutinies of Barack Obama in the press and TV Media. Kind of a let's take a second look type of thing. Still, you can't help but wonder at the connections between all these new developments. It would appear that the Establishment(Clinton et al), unable to put a dent in Barack Obama through debates and the usual political means, has resorted to comedy shows it owns and various Journalists to step in and step on Barack Obama.
I'm writing this Tuesday night, so before long we'll know if any of this made a difference or if it was as most of Hillary's poorly run campaign, too little too late. I just looked at Yahoo News and their report was saying that Ohio was too close to call. That means Hillary will not make up any significant delegate ground even if she wins. I suspect Texas will be the same. The only question remaining will be, is Hillary Clinton going to concede the nomination to Barack Obama in the next few days as the DNC and other senior Democrats are hoping she will do if she is indeed still behind in delegates.
