Stupidity/Corruption Run Rampant In Obamas Agencies
Taxpayer money wasted on unproven green energy companies and DOE loans to Obama bundlers, the new normal under the President and his progressive leaders appointed to these agencies. When does the revolution begin? A Nod to The Daley Gator for the story.
The Department of Energy (DOE) will likely lose tens of millions of dollars on a loan extended to a green vehicle company with ties to a top fundraiser for President Barack Obama. The news comes days after DOE announced that it would restart the loan program responsible for lending taxpayer funds to the struggling company.
As a result, taxpayers are expected to lose about $42 million on the deal.
“After exhausting any realistic possibility for a sale that might have protected our entire investment, the department determined that auctioning the remainder of VPG’s loan obligation offered the best possible recovery for the taxpayer,” DOE spokesman Bill Gibbontold the Detroit News.
Really? You didn’t exhaust much time handing out the money, now you can’t get any back? Fuckin’ idiots.
VPG ceased operations and laid off most of its staff in May.
Its DOE loan came through a federal financing scheme called the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing (ATVM) program. The program also financed politically connected green vehicle company Fisker Automotive, which has ceased production and may declare bankruptcy.
DOE’s relationship with VPG came under scrutiny in 2011 after it was revealed that James Johnson, the former top executive at federal mortgage giant Fannie Mae and a major Obama fundraiser, chaired an investment firm, Perseus LLC, with a stake in the company. Johnson helped Obama court Clinton supporters in 2008 after a bloody Democratic primary. He also sat on a three-person vice presidential selection panel for the campaign, though he stepped down after it was revealed that he received sweetheart mortgages from predatory lender Countywide Financial.
Both Perseus and DOE have denied that federal financing for VPG was political in nature.
“I doubt there was anybody at DOE that even considered the fact that Jim was part of this firm. We went straight through the proper channels of the [loan] program,” Perseus chairman Frank Pearl toldthe Washington Post in 2011.
“The decision to provide the Vehicle Production Group a loan was made based on the merits after more than two years of review by officials in the DOE loan program,” added then-DOE spokesman Damien LaVera.
Two years of review and you still fucked it up? Why wasn’t somebody fired? My goodness how freakin stupid are the decision makers at the DOE?
Perseus’ political muscle went beyond Johnson. Its former vice chairman was the late U.N. ambassador Richard Holbrooke, who was appointed to a top foreign policy position during Obama’s first term. Holbrooke left Perseus before it received its DOE loan. He died in 2010.
Another VPG financier, billionaire energy tycoon T. Boone Pickens, met with the president during the 2008 campaign to discuss energy policy. Pickens subsequently said he was “strongly encouraged by Sen. Obama’s speech on America’s energy future. Foreign oil is killing our economy and putting our nation at risk.”
How that work out for ya T-Bone?
When Rhetoric Meets Reality
“When London was getting bombed, it was profoundly unpopular both in Congress and around the country to help the British,” he said. “It doesn’t mean it wasn’t the right thing to do. Just means people, you know, are struggling with jobs and bills to pay and they don’t want their sons or daughters put in harm’s way.”
Barack Obama during a speech where he tried to say that, while bombing Syria is unpopular, it is the right thing to do.
Except, as usual, he has no idea what he’s talking about.
A Gallup poll in 1940, when the German bombing campaign in Britain took place, showed 60 percent of Americans felt it was more important to help England win,even at risk of going to war, than to stay out.
Additionally, 68 percent of Americans believed the future safety of the United States depended on England winning the war, and 85 percent felt England would lose if Americans stopped sending war materials to help.
In March 1941, Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act, which empowered the president to lend, lease or exchange war materials with countries whose entanglements were considered crucial to national security.
You would think his speech writers would do some research. This guy is an idiot.
A Community Organizers Foreign Poilcy
Senators Constituents Calls Dismissed
Di Fi says she know best.
OK Senator, please explain, in detail.
What don’t we know? We have seen videos of dead women and children apparently killed by chemical weapons. We have seen the black flag of Al-Qaeda flying over the rebel troops. We have seen Christians being attacked by the “freedom fighters”.
The rebels said it was Assads troops who used the gas, the Syrian refugees say that the rebels were the ones using the chemical weapons.
So what is it that you have privileged information about? Tell us, maybe it would sway Americans opinion of not wanting to get involved in the conflict.
With global communications being what they are, I think we know what you know, what more could there be?
And by the way lady, don’t you find it a bit hypocritical to arm anybody, when you have fought so hard and spoken so passionately to take Americans guns? 
What a sad state of affairs.

Arab Spring? Whatever
Yeah, lets get involved in Syria, whats the worst that could happen? Just like everything Obama touches, it goes to hell.
As world attention focused on the coup in Egypt and the poison gas attack in Syria over the past two months, Libya has plunged unnoticed into its worst political and economic crisis since the defeat of Gaddafi two years ago. Government authority is disintegrating in all parts of the country putting in doubt claims by American, British and French politicians that Nato’s military action in Libya in 2011 was an outstanding example of a successful foreign military intervention which should be repeated in Syria.
Libyans are increasingly at the mercy of militias which act outside the law. Popular protests against militiamen have been met with gunfire; 31 demonstrators were shot dead and many others wounded as they protested outside the barracks of “the Libyan Shield Brigade” in the eastern capital Benghazi in June.

McCains Poker Problem
There is a bunch of serious shit going on right now and the biggest blowhard pushing for Syrian intervention is playing games on his phone during congressional hearings? What the fucking fuck?
The fix is in kids, this is puppet theater, Obama is going in no matter what.
I am not for or against….yet. I don’t have the facts nor do I have the luxury of defense reports, but this is a huge issue facing the nation, and McCain is playing games? This isn’t a time share salesman, you are about to put lives in jeopardy, and this is the focus you give it?
Pathetic!!
True
Glass Houses
Barack Hussein Obama rose to power by attacking—in a somewhat apocryphal 2002 speech—what he called George Walker Bush’s “dumb war” in Iraq. Let us compare Obama’s approach to Syria with Bush’s in Iraq.
1.Bush in Iraq: Attacked an evil regime isolated for over a decade by both Democrats and Republicans.
Obama in Syria: Wants to attack an evil regime coddled for six years by Democrats and the White House.
2.Bush in Iraq: Attacked after UN inspectors turned away, in violation of Security Council resolutions.
Obama in Syria: Announced plans to attack before any inspections, and in fact opposed UN inspections.
3.Bush in Iraq: Attacked after UN Security Council deadlocked on authorization for use of force.
Obama in Syria: Has not attempted to obtain UN Security Council authorization for use of force.
4.Bush in Iraq: Attacked after building multinational “coalition of the willing” with Britain.
Obama in Syria: Plans to attack without multinational coalition and after British rejection of war.
5.Bush in Iraq: Sought authorization from Congress first, before going to UN or planning any attack.
Obama in Syria: Opposed authorization from Congress until “red line” & attack were already announced.
6.Bush in Iraq: Attacked Iraq as part of War on Terror against Al Qaeda and affiliated groups.
Obama in Syria: Says “War on Terror” is over, is arming Islamist groups allied with Al Qaeda.
7.Bush in Iraq: Clear objectives, including regime change to replace dictatorship with democracy.
Obama in Syria: No clear objectives, formal opposition to any direct effort at regime change.
8.Bush in Iraq: Acted before Saddam Hussein could threaten neighbors or his own people.
Obama in Syria: Acting after Bashar al-Assad has slaughtered 100,000 Syrians, threatened neighbors.
9.Bush in Iraq: Attacked after moving strategic U.S. military assets to the region to protect U.S. allies.
Obama in Syria: Acting after “pivot to Asia,” after military sequester, and despite risks to allies.
10.Bush in Iraq: Gave up golf for the rest of his presidency while U.S. troops still in combat.
Obama in Syria: Went golfing (again) after announcing new Syria policy.
“No question about it.” – Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, in 2007 when asked if Iraq had moved the majority of its chemical weapons arsenal to Syria before the US invasion of Iraq.
Clapper was the former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and was the director of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency during 2007.
