Obama White House Knew “Green” Electric Car Maker Fisker Automotive was Failing and Still Gave them More Tax Dollars
CBS News is reporting that the Obama White House knew that the electric car maker Fisker Automotive Inc. was failing and still gave the “green” company even more money. According to documents, the Obama administration knew as early as 2010 that the company was not meeting standards, yet did nothing to halt the government loan. Fisker had received a total of $192 million of the $529 million loan before it was suspended. I guess Obama would call that a success that his administration did not give them all of the loan. This administration was hell-bent on funding their pet green energy companies at all cost, regardless of the cost and the failings of this companies.
Newly obtained documents show the Obama administration was warned as early as 2010 that electric car maker Fisker Automotive Inc. was not meeting milestones set up for a half-billion dollar government loan, nearly a year before U.S. officials froze the loan after questions were raised about the company’s statements.
An Energy Department official said in a June 2010 email that Fisker’s bid to draw on the federal loan may be jeopardized for failure to meet goals established by the department.
Despite that warning, Fisker continued to receive money until June 2011, when the DOE halted further funding. The agency did so after Fisker presented new information that called into question whether key milestones — including the launch of the company’s signature, $100,000 Karma hybrid — had been achieved, according to a credit report prepared by the Energy Department.
It is just endless, the number of green energy failures and the wasted tax payers money that the Obama administrations has spend down a “green” energy rat hole. Whether it be Fisker, Solyndra, Abound Solar, A123 Systems, Ener1 and list goes on and on and on.

Islamist Terrorist Tsarnaev Brothers Killed MIT Officer Sean Collier Because They Needed A Gun … What, No Background Check?
Imagine that Democrats, individuals who wanted to commit crimes and acts of terrorism did not want to pass a background check to get a gun, go figure …
It is being reported at CBS News, MIT officer Sean Collier was murdered because the two Islamist Terrorist Tsarnaev Brothers needed another gun. However, after they killed officer Collier they were unable to unholster his weapon. What, you mean those with evil intent did not want to take the time to fill out the necessary paperwork and pass a background check like Democrats and Obama wanted to inflict on law abiding citizens? Yet, the good people of Watertown, MA are told by liberals like Senator Feinstein of California that they didn’t need assault-style weapons to protect themselves and shouldn’t even have the choice.
MIT Officer Sean Collier – Rest in Peace
“The original question is they walked up to that car and appeared they shot the officer in the head unprovoked, that it was an assassination. But why? How did that fit into their plan? The operating theory now in the investigation is they were short one gun. The older brother had a gun. They wanted to get a gun for the younger brother and the fastest and most efficient way they could think of doing it was a surprise attack on a cop, to take his weapon and go. Officer Collier had a locking holster, it’s like a three-way lock. If you don’t know how to remove the gun, you’re not going to get it out. There was apparently an attempt to yank it and they couldn’t get it and left. “

Chinese Carjack Victim of Boston Bomber Bothers Escaped During Red Bull Stop …They Didn’t Kill Him Because He ‘Wasn’t American’
How come the LEFT is not clamoring to try Boston Marathon bombing suspect #2, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, for a hate crime as he only targeted individuals who looked America?
The UK Daily Mail is reporting that the Chinese man who was carjacked in his Mercades SUV by Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev only was able to escape after the two terrorist brothers stopped at a gas station convenience store for Red Bull and candy bars. Not quite the advertising the Red Bull wanted I’m sure. The carjacking victim jumped out of the car and ran to safety to a nearby gas station. He told authorities that being Chinese almost certainly saved his life, saying that the brothers told him they would not kill him because he was ‘not American.’ I guess the man can also thank his lucky stars that he was not carjacked in Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s NYC where the two brothers would have been SOL on getting an over-sized soda. And I am sure it’s only a matter of time before Bloomberg bans Red Bull as well.
A man taken hostage by the alleged Boston bombers after he was car jacked was able to escape after they stopped to buy cans of Red Bull at a gas station, MailOnline can reveal.
The carjacking victim, whose name has not been revealed, has told authorities that being Chinese almost certainly saved his life, saying that the brothers told him they would not kill him because he was ‘not American.’
The victim was able to jump out of the car and flee while Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, looked to buy cans of the energy drink and chocolate bars.
From interviews with the staff at both gas stations and court records, MailOnline has been able to piece together the frantic events of the early hours of last Friday.

Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) to Retire in 2014 … Stated Last Week, Obamacare was a “Train Wreck”
Another one bites the dust at the hands of Obamacare … Another opening for the GOP in 2014. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, the Democrat Senator from Montana announced that he will not run for reelection in 2014 and instead retire. According to the Washington Post, rather than face a tough election, Baucus would rather retire. The six term Senator obviously sees the handwriting on the wall. Obamacare is still unpopular and going to get worse as America wakes up and realizes the expensive boongoogle that it is. Baucus was a key player and played a critical role in writing President Obama’s national health-care plan, Obamacare. However, last week Baucus referred to the Obamacare as a train wreck. Think the conservative state of Montana was not going to hold that against him in 2014? Also, just last week he also voted the expand back ground checks on the purchase of guns. Don’t worry Max, not like Montana is one of the states with the highest gun ownership at 57.7%. Oh wait, it is.
Baucus, 71, first elected in 1978,has been the top Democrat on the powerful committee since 2001. At times infuriating his Democratic colleagues, Baucus worked with Republicans to co-write the Bush-era tax cuts and the Medicare prescription drug plan, but he also served as the lead defender against George W. Bush’s 2005 effort to partially privatize Social Security and played a critical role in writing President Obama’s national health-care plan. Baucus, from conservative-leaning Montana, has voted against Democratic initiatives on some social issues, most recently last week’s effort to create an expanded background check system for gun purchases. Republicans have been trying to land a top recruit to challenge Baucus, who despite his unpolished public image has been one of the savviest political operators among Mountain West Democrats.
As Weasel Zippers stated, it was obvious that Baucus’s polling showed that because of his liberal ways, he was going to get crushed. According to PPP polling, Baucus was already running 5 points behind hypothetical Republican candidates, although he may never have made it out of the Democrat primary. This does not bode well for Democrats in the Senate. If the GOP could actually get their collective heads out of their RINO, establishment butts, they should take this seat. According to Charlie Cook this moves the seat into the toss-up category. Democrats, so far, have to defend 21 seats, while Republicans have to defend 14. The GOP needs a net gain of 6 seats to regain the Senate. Although, Wake Up America opines that out of the 21 Democratically held seats, seven of them are in states carried by the former Republican presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, while just one of the Republican seats is in a state won by President Obama. Are they just getting old or has the Obama bloom truly come off the rose? Baucus joins five other committee chairmen who have decided to retire rather than run for reelection, including Sens. John D. “Jay” Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), 75, chairman of the commerce committee, and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), 73, chairman of the health committee. In the 2010 and 2012 election seasons, several other chairmen, including Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), opted to retire.
