I wasn't saying he isn't invested in it. I'm saying this supposed power grab is nothing new, it's been going on for over a year now. It seemed odd that Republicans didn't care much about it till Obama got in power. I also consider the move a desperate attempt to save the economy and not a "power grab". The options are to take these companies over or let them go out of business.
