The total set aside by the Obambi administration for Green Energy businesses was $80 Billion.  We’ve heard about Solyndra, Fisker, and A123 among some of the bigger ones.  However, there are a total of 34 companies on this list totaling $3.770 Billion in taxpayer funded loans.  Admittedly, that is only 1/2 of 1% of the total.  But, given that we are talking BILLIONS that still is no chump change when it comes to our taxes.  I found the list here.  We can’t afford having the government pick and choose who the winners and losers are.  Given that Global Warming has been debunked and we now find out that there has been absolutely no global warming over the last 16 years – this is plain ridiculous.

The complete list of faltering or bankrupt green-energy companies:

  1. Evergreen Solar ($25 million)*
  2. SpectraWatt ($500,000)*
  3. Solyndra ($535 million)*
  4. Beacon Power ($43 million)*
  5. Nevada Geothermal ($98.5 million)
  6. SunPower ($1.2 billion)
  7. First Solar ($1.46 billion)
  8. Babcock and Brown ($178 million)
  9. EnerDel’s subsidiary Ener1 ($118.5 million)*
  10. Amonix ($5.9 million)
  11. Fisker Automotive ($529 million)
  12. Abound Solar ($400 million)*
  13. A123 Systems ($279 million)*
  14. Willard and Kelsey Solar Group ($6 million)*
  15. Johnson Controls ($299 million)
  16. Schneider Electric ($86 million)
  17. Brightsource ($1.6 billion)
  18. ECOtality ($126.2 million)
  19. Raser Technologies ($33 million)*
  20. Energy Conversion Devices ($13.3 million)*
  21. Mountain Plaza, Inc. ($2 million)*
  22. Olsen’s Crop Service and Olsen’s Mills Acquisition Company ($10 million)*
  23. Range Fuels ($80 million)*
  24. Thompson River Power ($6.5 million)*
  25. Stirling Energy Systems ($7 million)*
  26. Azure Dynamics ($5.4 million)*
  27. GreenVolts ($500,000)
  28. Vestas ($50 million)
  29. LG Chem’s subsidiary Compact Power ($151 million)
  30. Nordic Windpower ($16 million)*
  31. Navistar ($39 million)
  32. Satcon ($3 million)*
  33. Konarka Technologies Inc. ($20 million)*
  34. Mascoma Corp. ($100 million)

Or is it 4? Frankly it’s getting hard to keep up with the number of failed green companies that sucked billions of dollars out of the Federal coffers (AKA you, the hapless taxpayer).

In case you haven’t been paying attention here’s the green economy touted by President Obama’s partial score card.

Solyndra : Bankrupt – Loss of 535 Million in Federal Grants

A123 : Bankrupt – Loss of 240 Million in Federal Grants – now being bought out by a Chicom company meaning that we fellow taxpayer – just gave the Chinese a bunch of really expensive manufacturing equipment – dirt cheap.

Abound Solar : Bankrupt – Loss of 70 million in Federal Grants.

Ener1 : Bankrupt  -  Washington pledged up to $118 million in stimulus funds. Another $80 million in state and local incentives was dedicated to help Ener1 produce cutting-edge battery technology for electric cars and the U.S. military. Now that technology is owned by a Russian tycoon.

Read more here in the link below:

In a January report, Sheryl Attkisson of CBS News counted at least 12 clean-energy companies that were having trouble after collectively being approved for more than $6.5 billion in federal assistance. Five had filed for bankruptcy: the junk bond-rated Beacon Power, Evergreen Solar, SpectraWatt, AES subsidiary Eastern Energy and the now-infamous Solyndra. Now we have a sixth — Abound Solar.

 So I stand corrected…its now Six failed Green Energy  companies and 6.5 Billion dollars – that’s Billion with a “B” gentle reader and exactly .. Z-E-R-O in return.
Well perhaps not exactly ZERO – after all most of these failed companies have a very common thread. They are all Obama Campaign contributors…. So somebody got a return on his investment…that would be: Obama, a Russian Tycoon, and a Chinese Communist.
Hey …..Loosing your home? Lost your job? Economy  sucks? Gas costing you 6.00 bucks a gallon and taking food out of your kids mouth?? Electric Bill sky rocketing?
Don’t fret …. at least Obama, the CHICOMS, Russians, and his fellow Green Democrats like Diane Finestien and Steny Hoyer are sleeping well knowing that they are leading the charge to “protect the environment.”
Aw, comon now …Admit it – don’t you just get a warm fuzzy feeling knowing you’ve worked a full 4 months of the year away to pay your federal income taxes and that money is going to such wonderful programs? Better yet it’s going to fill the pockets of Communists and the Russians?
What? You’re not warm and fuzzy? You’re cold and shivering?
Maybe this has something to do with it?
“Hindsight is always 20-20,” Obama told George Stephanopoulos of ABC News after Solyndra closed its doors. “It went through the regular review process. And people felt like this (Solyndra) was a good bet.”
I’m sorry …do I live in Las Vegas? Where and when did the American taxpayer authorize this fool to “bet” on anything? Hey Jackass!! That isn’t your money you moron…that is the TAXPAYERS money and you just pissed away billions on unicorn farts, fairy tales, and pixie dust!! High Crimes and Misdemeanor anyone?
But then again – I guess the green snot screwball in chief can always claim he told us so….
“Under my plan … electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”
“If somebody wants to build a coal-fired power plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them,”

Yep….Even after 6 turns at bat…..Obama is still…..the ….WORST.PRESIDENT.IN.HISTORY

 

Well if there was any doubt in the first place concerning the intelligence of some Obama supporters this should serve nicely to dispel that…

 

Obama should be allowed to use a Teleprompter to debate

Really? After watching that I could only think of one thing….

 

“Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool, then to speak out and remove all doubt”.

 

Abe Lincoln 16th President of the United States.

 

OK – The Evil Clown shamed me into it, so here it goes – I’ll opine.

One of the most personally annoying talking points I keep hearing is how the president is some steward of “jobs creation”

How’s that work – The POTUS walks into a HR department over at Acme tools and says:

You shall Hire Joe and Jill – You shall Hire Bob and Betty -  and don’t forget their Union bennies either damn it!! So I decree so it shall be!!”

Okay all snarky-ness aside – I’ve long held that the president himself can do little to create or destroy jobs – perhaps he has some impact via certain initiatives to cause companies to not hire – i.e Obamacare – Or perhaps public works like FDR did – and that can cause uncertainty in the job markets but factually there isn’t much a sitting president can actually do to “create” a job. It’s a red herring for talking heads and Sunday morning political “experts” to bandy about – but in reality it serves as a useless metric of a presidents accomplishments. Jobs are created in the marketplace – Not the Whitehouse.

Okay now that we got that out of the way  – This musing of mine on Presidents and Jobs Creation comes from a passing comment on a local news web page where an Obama Supporter was adamantly defending Obama and his record. No seriously; there is someone out there actually defending this yahoo. You just can’t make this crap up folks!!

One of the poster’s points in support of Obama and his Jobs Creation was:

 

Obama has <beep> created more <expletive deleted >jobs in 4 years than <expletive deleted>  G.W. Bush did in <beep> 8 !!!11eLEVENTY!! ” (at which point I advised the excitable poster to calm down – all that angst is bad for the ol ticker don’t ya’ know.)

Which of course I had to think about that astounding claim for all of about …. .9999 nano seconds before I shredded his argument. It reminded me of playing that old game Battleship

Of course Obama numerically can boast that he created more jobs than G.W. that is true.

But why is it true?

At this point I have to admit I was shooting at a sail boat with what amounted to the USS New Jersey but hey no one ever accused my swashbuckling pirate ass of being nice….

Anchors aweigh Boys…time to sink the Bismark – Er – belay that…. it’s the “Good Ship Rainbows and Unicorn Farts” !!

I asked our intrepid Obamaphil -” Could it be perhaps One, that the job numbers my oh so ardent  Obama fan is claiming the POTUS to have “created” is simply no more than jobs that are gradually coming back in a still very uncertain recovery”?

B-14 – hit!

“And Two, those jobs that are slowly coming back have taken 4 long years and still we see 8+ % unemployment – why is that?? Answer – Because job creation is not even keeping pace with new prospect employees entering the work environment”.

B13 – Hit!

Those two points are true as well but as the poster scrambled to shore up his already sinking battle ship….I let go with a full on broadside…. I do fear I made the hapless poster wet his britches when I pointed out:

“Or perhaps it is simply a case of..The simple fact of the matter is from around 2002 – right up until late 2006 Unemployment was hovering around 4% .

B-12 – Hit!

“That, in case you’re wondering is what econo-weenies call “full employment” based on the fact that that 4% of the population that isn’t working – chooses not to or can’t. Ergo there were NO jobs for G.W. Bush to create“. 

(Assuming of course you buy into the whole the President Creates Job meme).

B-11 Hit!

OH NOES!! YOU SANK MY BATTLESHIP!!  AAAAAOOOOOGA – Abandon Ship – Women and Children First!!

Ah!! So solly challie maybe you go Singapore next time – find you girl love you long time eh?

Or – I guess you can keep voting for Obama??!

;-)

 

 

 

While it has essentially been an assumption and campaign rhetoric that should Obambi be elected we would get 4 more years of the same bad policies – it was just that – assumption and supposition. Now – it is fact:

Democrats lay out second-term wish list for President Obama

These quotes from the article above posted at The Hill

An Obama victory in November would lend the president a new fistful of political capital as he confronts Republican leaders over how to avoid the fiscal cliff and steer the polarized country through the next four years. More than a month before November’s elections, his allies in the House are already offering tips for how to spend it.

“He’s got to continue to concentrate on jobs,” Rep. Bill Pascrell said last week as the House was leaving town for a long, pre-election recess.

Uh – Mr. Pascrell – if he concentrates on jobs any more – there will be absolutely NO jobs left!  His jobs policies have been to destroy jobs.  No thanks.

“I’m hoping he’ll do immigration reform,” said Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas).

Mr. Cuellar – is that code for complete amnesty and open borders?  You don’t think doing an end around Congress was enough when he gave amnesty to all those illegal immigrants last month? The only thing we want in immigration reform – is – well – no reform.  Enforce the damned laws that are ALREADY on the books!

“We should get back to an energy policy – one that acknowledges that climate change is real,” said Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.).

OMFG!  Climate change is real?  Where the Fudgecicle did that idea come from?  Global warming has been debunked – in case you’ve had your head in the sand these past 2 years.  Your idiotic ideas that we have global warming is what is already guiding his energy policy.  Have you looked at the price of gas and consumer products lately? We can’t afford any more of Obambi’s non-energy producing policies!

“The critical issues will be revenue generation … and … a concerted push on immigration reform,” said Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.).

Obviously, Mr. Grijalva is in the same corner as Mr. Cuellar when it comes to open borders and complete amnesty. As for his “revenue generation” I think we all know what he means – increase taxes. Despite the fact Keynesian economics and tax increases have been proven wrong and bad for the economy countless times – all these idiots really want is to find a way to get more money for their pet projects and to continue to enslave our poor and lower class on the government plantation.  If you’re serious about revenue generation – how about lowering taxes – especially corporate taxes and create policies that actually incentivises investors, business owners, and entrepreneurs to build their businesses.  In other words – read some Milton Friedman or Thomas Sowell books – you might learn how our capitalist system and economy actually works.

“I think he’d want his administration to start on healthcare,” said Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.).

Oh, good Lord, Mr. Honda! Obamacare wasn’t enough?  The nationalization of our healthcare system isn’t enough for you? What the hell more can you guys in Congress possibly do with healthcare that you haven’t already done?  The best healthcare system in the world is being reduced to third-world status and you want to do more? Have you looked at what is happening in Canada, Greece, the U.K., Germany, and other countries with nationalized healthcare? It is failing miserably and causing a major financial crisis in those countries. Leave our healthcare system alone. Repeal Obamacare. If you want to work on healthcare – reduce the regulations that have overinflated the costs. Provide affordable access – not insurance.  Idiot.

“Debt and jobs,” Welch said. “That’s the fundamental issue: How are we going to deal with the debt in a way that promotes growth?”

Welch? Aren’t you the same idiot that believes in global warming? Debt and Jobs? Every policy this administration has advanced the past for years has increased the debt and decreased jobs! Do you really need another primer on how to deal with the debt and promote job growth?  Cut the debt in half – get rid of 50% of the government off the top – get your job killing policies off the books, and lower taxes.  Start drilling again and get rid of the EPA, Department of Energy, and the Department of Education to start with.  How the hell did you get elected?

If these quotes from current Congressmen aren’t enough to persuade a person to vote against Obambi and for Romney – try this on for size:

Although the Republicans are expected to keep control of the House, an Obama win amid a lingering jobs crisis would – at least in the eyes of Democrats – validate some of the policies the president has adopted on the campaign trail and pressure Republicans to reach deals on them. Indeed, some leading Republicans have said an Obama victory would be “a referendum” for raising taxes on the country’s highest earners, one of Obama’s top priorities.

The power of post-election momentum was evident four years ago when Obama was swept into the White House in a wave of Democratic victories that allowed the party to secure the early passage of their controversial economic stimulus package and paved the way for the enactment of sweeping healthcare reforms the following year.

Although voter enthusiasm toward Obama waned, reelection would give the president new – if fleeting – leverage in his negotiations with GOP leaders over a range of issues.

His House supporters are hoping he uses that leverage to fight for a long list of Democratic priorities that were lost to the partisan battles of the last Congress.

The highlighted sections are mine. As I said in the headline – 4 more of the same crap – but at lightspeed.  This country can’t afford another 4 years of this anti-American dolt.

Romney/Ryan for America in November

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again – Obama hates our staunchest allies in the Middle East – Israel. If it were up to him – he would have all the Jews leave their God-given promised land and hand it over to those Paleoswinians.

Exclusive: U.S. Scales-Back Military Exercise with Israel, Affecting Potential Iran Strike

Seven months ago, Israel and the United States postponed a massive joint military exercise that was originally set to go forward just as concerns were brimming that Israel would launch a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. The exercise was rescheduled for late October, and appears likely to go forward on the cusp of the U.S. presidential election. But it won’t be nearly the same exercise. Well-placed sources in both countries have told TIME that Washington has greatly reduced the scale of U.S. participation, slashing by more than two-thirds the number of American troops going to Israel and reducing both the number and potency of missile interception systems at the core of the joint exercise.

“Basically what the Americans are saying is, ‘We don’t trust you,’” a senior Israeli military official tells TIME.

The reductions are striking. Instead of the approximately 5,000 U.S. troops originally trumpeted for Austere Challenge 12, as the annual exercise is called, the Pentagon will send only 1,500 service members, and perhaps as few as 1,200.  Patriot anti-missile systems will arrive in Israel as planned, but the crews to operate them will not.  Instead of two Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense warships being dispatched to Israeli waters, the new plan is to send one, though even the remaining vessel is listed as a “maybe,” according to officials in both militaries.

Emphasis up there is mine.  Knowing that Iran has the potential to strike Israel any day – why the hell would we significantly reduce our troops in this “exercise” and reducing the number of ABMDs and sending unmanned Patriot systems?  One reason – Obama once again showing his hatred for Jews.
I really don’t understand how the Jewish population in this country could still continue to support a man that hates everything about them and what they believe in.  If anyone else can figure out it – please let me know.
