Green Energy Hypocrisy: Barack Obama Leaves Event Promoting Clean Energy in Motorcade of 22 Fossil Fuel Gas Hogs

Green Energy Hypocrisy: Barack Obama Leaves Event Promoting Clean Energy in Motorcade of 22 Fossil Fuel Gas Hogs

Classic from the Hypocrite in Chief … From the files of you just can’t make this stuff up comes the hypocrisy of Obama and the LEFT promoting “green”, clean energy while driving around in fossil fuel gas hogs leaving the carbon foot print the size of Sasquatch.

Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit

On January 26, 2012, President Obama visited a Las Vegas UPS plant. Stimulus subsidy for said UPS plant to purchase natural-gas-powered trucks: 5.6 million dollars. Stimulus subsidy for North Las Vegas green energy plant that laid off 200 workers yesterday: 5.9 million dollars. Using taxpayer dollars to leave an event promoting clean-energy vehicles in a motorcade of twenty-two fossil-fueled vehicles: Priceless.

Every wonder why there is no market for clean energy and these government subsidized green energy companies, because those promoting it do not even believe in it. Why is it that the very people, whether they be Obama or those in the private sector who cry “green” energy are the very ones who are the most wasteful. have multiple homes and fly private jets? Hmm?

Robert Hegyes, Actor who Played Juan Epstein on ‘Welcome Back Kotter’ Dies at Age 60

Robert Hegyes, the actor who played Juan Epstein on one of my favorite comedies of all times, ‘Welcome Back Kotter” has died. Hegyes, who played Puerto Rican wheeler-dealer Juan Luis Pedro Phillipo de Huevos Epstein and one of the “SweatHogs” on the 1970s classic “Welcome Back Kotter,” back in the day when comedies could be un-PC and were actually funny, dies at the age of 60 of an apparent heart attack.

Obit from USA Today:

THe was born in Perth Amboy and grew up in Metuchen, the eldest child of a Hungarian father and Italian mother.

He attended Rowan University, formerly Glassboro State College, in southern New Jersey, before heading to New York City after graduation. He returned to Rowan on several occasions to teach master classes in acting, a university spokesman said Thursday.

“He was a good friend to the university,” spokesman Joe Cardona said.

Hegyes continued to act after Kotter and was a regular on Cagney & Lacey. He also guest-starred in shows including Diagnosis Murder and The Drew Carey Show.

In honor of the debates, we have included the Youtube VIDEO of the Sweathogs debate. Welcome Back Kotter, and its cast  John Travolta, Ron Palillo, Gabe Kaplan, Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs and Robert Hegyes were brilliant in a time when comedy was comedy and there was no such thing as “reality TV” on TV.

Goodbye Robert Hegyes, Rest in Peace … signed, Epstein’s Mother’s doctor.

Another Obama Green Energy Company Fails … Ener1 Received $118.5 Million Stimulus Grant Files for Bankruptcy

Another One Bites the Dust …

Ener1 received a $118.5 million stimulus grant and was supposed to double its production capacity and create 1,700 jobs, instead it is filing for bankruptcy. The company was supposed to made batteries for electric cars. A funny thing happened on the way to the Obama hand picked business winners and losers, free market capitalism … there is no market or demand for this product. Didn’t Barack Obama in this years SOTU just say he was going to continue to fund the car battery industry with government money and not cede it to China? Oops. Yet more tax payer dollars wasted.

Add another to the Obama back failed green energy companies

An Indiana-based energy-storage company, whose subsidiary received a $118.5 million stimulus grant from the Energy Department, filed for bankruptcy Thursday.

Ener1 is asking a federal bankruptcy court in New York to approve a plan to restructure the company’s debt and infuse $81 million in equity funding.

“This was a difficult, but necessary, decision for our company,” Ener1 CEO Alex Sorokin said in a news release. “We are extremely pleased to have the strong support of our primary investors and lenders to substantially reduce the company’s debt.”

The VP had previously visited the Indiana company and touted it as a new chapter in American history for energy and business; however, the only chapter it turned out to be was Chapter 11.

Red State may have a point, another Obama hand picked company has met the reverse Midas touch of “The One”. Erick says, look out Master Lock, all who have stock in it may want to sell.

Add Ener1 to the list of other Obama tapped green energy companies that have been given stimulus money that have failed miserably. NRO has the present tally:  Solyndra, SunPower, BrightSource, and Tonopah Solar Energy. So far that is.

AZ Gov. Jan Brewer & Barack Obama Have Words Over Her Book as Prez Gets Off Air Force One … “He’s Very Thin Skinned”

Barack Obama, Lost in Smallness, Part 87 …

As the GOP Primary continues to see who shall take on Barack Obama in 2012, let us not forget who is the present occupant of the White House and how “small” and Un-Presidential he has acted in as the “Thin Skinned in Chief”. President Barack Obama and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer had a dust up as Obama got off Ir Force One yesterday. As per The Politico, Brewer stated that “The One”got in a huff over things that Brewer wrote in her book, ‘Scorpions for Breakfast’. Check out the Gateway Pundit and the pic of Brewer pointing a finger at Obama and not backing down to the bully tactics of Obama. Maybe the WWE will have these two in a cage match this summer for Wrestlemania.

It was a tense moment on the tarmac.

President Obama, alighting from the stairs of Air Force One in Phoenix this afternoon, was greeted by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who handed him an envelope and the two exchanged what appeared to be some heated sentiments. At one point, she pointed her finger at him.

Asked afterward what happened, Brewer said, “He was a little disturbed about my book, Scorpions for Breakfast.

“I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt,” she said, according to a pool report. “He didn’t feel that I had treated him cordially. I said I was sorry he felt that way but I didn’t get my sentence finished. Anyway, we’re glad he’s here. I’ll regroup.”

In an interview on FOX with greta Van Susteren, Jan Brewer discuses the incident on the tarmac between herself and Obama.

Governor Jan Brewer discussed her confrontation with Obama today at the Phoenix airport. Brewer told Greta Van Susteren that Obama ambushed her when he got off the plane about a book she wrote.

As the Weekly Standard opines, Thou Shalt not write bad things about the Obamamessiah. They remind us that this is not the first time that Obama has shown his “smallness” and acted in this manner, remember Bobby Jindal.

You go girl, nice to see there are some politicians with some stones who will not cower to Obama. Too bad there were not more in DC who would take Obama to task for his actions and pettiness.

Barack Obama Plagerizes Ford Motors Ad During SOTU Speech … “Built to Last”

Wow, Obama’s SOTU was not only flat and predictable lame, there appears to have been other issues with it was well.

Are you serious, did President Barack Obama rip off a Ford Motors ad during the State of the Union last night … America, Built to Last. The Daily Mail seems to think so. What is even more ironic is that Obama and his speech writers managed to plagiarize the one car company that did not take any government bail out money. It would appear that Biden is not the only gaffe prone individual in the White House.

“An economy built to last, where hard work pays off, and responsibility is rewarded.”

“Tonight, I want to speak about how we move forward, and lay out a blueprint for an economy that’s built to last – an economy built on American manufacturing, American energy, skills for American workers, and a renewal of American values.”

“You see, an economy built to last is one where we encourage the talent and ingenuity of every person in this country.”

“An America built to last insists on responsibility from everybody.”

“That’s an America built to last.”

The America we had lasted more than 200 years. It was built, in part, on the sweat and vision of Ford Motors Company.

And not on its slogans.

I pray that nothing lasts from this terrible presidency.

Full transcript of Obama’s SOTU.

Who needs SOPA/PIPA and on-line piracy when we have a US President plagiarizing a car companies commercial ad. I guess Obama can always blame the TOTUS.

Obama’s 2012 SOTU Address … Same As It Ever Was … Tired Old Empty Promises & the Promise of Jobs with Awkward Cheering

Obama’s SOTU … Same as it ever was.

For those pundits who want to spin and claim that President Barack Obama’s SOTU address last night was an inspiring great speech, think again. Obama’s address sounded like many that he delivered in the past, just with a bit more class warfare. So much for the great visionary Obama … sorry, but this speech was flat and disjointed where Democrats in many places had no idea when they were supposed to stand and cheer. Often during his speech you heard a single clap or none at all when on the teleprompter it obviously told The One to pause for ovation.

The general opinion of the SOTU, Too Long, Too Partisan, Too Barren of Policy. It was amazing that Obama never mentioned America’s out of control debt and the fact that he prevented jobs from being created by nixing the XL oil pipeline, yet defended the Solyndra’s that the government wastefully handed tax payer $’s to.

Seriously, how could any President talk about the State of the Union and not reference the United States’ out of control national debt, record number of people on good stamps and high unemployment? Oh, BTW … why did not Obama praise the crown jewel of his presidency … Obamacare?

American Hostage Jessica Buchanan Rescused by US Navy SEALs in overnight raid in Somalia

KUDOS once again to the US Navy Seals …

US Navy Seals rescued two hostages, including kidnapped Jessica Buchanan, in a night time raid in Somalia. Buchanan had been kidnapped by Somalia pirates about three months ago. The other individual rescued was 60 year old Poul Thisted from Denmark who also was working for a Danish relief organization in northern Somalia when they were kidnapped last October.

In a daring nighttime raid Tuesday, U.S. Navy SEALs rescued two hostages, including one American, who were being held by kidnappers in Somalia, U.S. officials tell NBC News.

American Jessica Buchanan, 32, and a 60-year-old Dane, Poul Thisted, were working for a Danish relief organization in northern Somalia when they were kidnapped last October. U.S. officials described their kidnappers as heavily armed common criminals with no known ties to any organized militant group.

According to the U.S. officials, two teams of Navy SEALs landed by helicopter near the compound where the two hostages were being held.

Hats off to our US Navy Seal team heroes.

UPDATE I: Is is being reported that Seal Team 6 is the one that pulled off the daring raid, the same Seal Team that took down Bin Laden.
