Looks like Dreamworks wanted to build a movie in China and Obama bent over backwards to facilitate the deal for his friend Mr. Katzenberg, who by the way, raised and bundled $6.6M for President Obama.

Katzenberg has been well rewarded by the Obama administration for his support.

Quote:
Katzenberg’s movie studio, Dreamworks, recently finalized a deal to build a studio in Shanghai, China. The nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation notes that Katzenberg’s deal was made possible with help from the Obama administration, which arranged a meeting for Katzenberg with Chinese Vice President and heir apparent Xi Jinping after his White House visit in February. Xi traveled from the White House to Los Angeles to sign the deal with the major Obama donor.

The Sunlight Foundation asks if “Katzenberg’s support for Obama fast-track[ed his] movie deal with China?” But Dreamworks would not respond to on-the-record questions from the good government watchdog group.

Oh look, a Bush deflection. Who would have guessed. And only took one response.

Almost as bad as the 2000 ObamaCare wavers he gave to donors and supporters.

Whenever someone donates money to Obama, the conspiracy theorists quickly assume something shady must be going on.

Not a deflection. He was making a point. Why is it that Bush was able to do something without any problem but it's a conspiracy when Obama does the exact same thing? Irrational Fear of liberals is very strong among the minds of certain people.

Clearly you're not familiar with what a deflection is.

By the way, nobody is claiming a conspiracy. Just noting for all the tools who keep whining that Romney is shipping jobs overseas.

Sorry if you're to slow to grasp the "point" of the thread. I can't say I'm surprised however.
