Lockheed has been in bed with the government for decades, much longer than Hilary has been in office.

Im not sure if she could do anything else to make it any easier for them to get a contract. Lockheed Martin has always been one of the best military companies in the world, if not the best.
Even if she did have something to do with it, It doesnt bother me, even though I am a republican.
Its almost impossible for someone to know what they are getting from someone they dont know, so its always safer to go with someone you know and trust.
The majority of problems in the government were caused by people who had apsolutley no previous contact with the person who they are working for.
For instance, The people who pushed the false intelligence about iraq were not appointed by Bush, they were appointed by clinton, but he no previous contact with them. Also, the people in FEMA who messed up had no previous contact with any of Bush's cabinet.
It always preferable to use people you know to get things done. Seeing that there are over 400 organizations under the president, its impossible to know every one of them, let alone be accountable for their actions. Thats politics.

Lockheed Martin is a HUGE defense contractor. They have been since they merged with Martin Marrietta years ago. They are tied up with the gov't so tight that I doubt they needed Hillary's help.
