GE and Comrade Obama are tight. Tight. Both are lead by Socialists and Comrade Obama boosts GE's profits by sending lots of "green" energy projects their way (GE is the world's largest maker of windmills) and GE boosts Comrade Obama's campaign coffers through loads of employee political contributions. It's a win-win situation.

Yes, even Socialists love to make money---they just don't want anyone else to make money as well.

GE sees best profit outlook in a decade, execs say

SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) – General Electric Co sees its best earnings growth prospects in a decade as the global economic recovery drives demand for the heavy energy and aviation equipment it makes, top executives said.

Rising oil prices have not yet taken a toll on global growth rates, Chief Executive Jeff Immelt said at the company's shareholder meeting on Wednesday.

"Things are getting better every day. The global economy outside the U.S. is strong," he told reporters.

Asked about oil prices, which have risen about 33 percent over the past year on rising demand, particularly in emerging markets, Immelt said they have not yet taken a toll on growth.

"It's something to think about, but it doesn't seem to be hurting the economy," he said.

The U.S. economy is also improving, he added, although the housing sector remains a weak spot.
