READ THAT LINK IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE TRYING TO COVER IT UP AS IM SURE SOME OF IT ISN'T TRUE BUT ON THE SAME HAND HOW CAN THEY SAY ANY THING ABOUT THIS ARTICLE IF THEY DON'T RESEARCH IT?

Obama's chief economic adviser helped run General Electric into the ground before he got appointed. And let's not forget "Turbo Tax."

Basically, the part where they bankrupted so many companies got my attention and even though this is from 1999 I doubt much has changed.

I find that Congress email entertaining. As a side note, I usually take everything Snopes says with a grain of salt. Imagine a publication revolving around what is essentially gossip. That's Snopes. I put them in the same category as Perez Hilton and Salon - publications with basically warped views.

Doesn't anyone remember the House Banking scandel? No one got so much as a slap on the wrist. Almnost all of them were writing hot checks. I know a single mom who went to jail for that.

I have noticed Snopes has a left tilt to most of their "reporting". It seems to be a good reference for the chain emails that never end.
