Obama Green Energy Failure: Fisker Automotive Received More than Half-Billion Dollars in Federal Loans … Laying off Workers at their Delaware & California Plants

Another Barack Obama “green” energy failure …

Fisker Automotive, a California based electric car start up company that received $529 million in loans to produce two lines of plug-in hybrid cars, is laying off workers in Delaware and California. Wow, who could have predicted that this would have been a waste of tax payer money? After all, as the Lonely Conservative reminds us the electric car goes for such a paltry cost of $100,000.

Delaware’s News Journal reports that Fisker Automotive, a California-based electric car start-up company, is laying off an undisclosed number of staff to try to reserve enough capital in order to qualify for more federal help from the Department of Energy, according to a Delaware state development official.

“They’re trying to preserve the cash that they have,” said Alan Levin told the News Journal. “And unfortunately, until they meet the milestone that DOE continues to set … they’re not able to access the additional capital that they need.”

The company also came under fire last year for taking federal loans while producing cars in Finland. Company officials told ABC News at the time that “there was no contract manufacturer in the U.S. that could actually produce our vehicle.” The company was working on reopening a shuttered General Motors plant in Wilmington to produce vehicles — an effort that top Obama administration officials lauded.

So lets get this correct. Obama’s answer to US jobs and the economy is wasteful spending to “green” companies like Solydra and Fisker … but The One says no to the  Keystone XL pipeline. We all know that Obama’s funding of these companies had nothing to do with jobs and everything to do with politics. Obama must go in 2012.

Tennessee College Republicans from the Obama Generation to “The Debt Generation” … Welcome to Obama’s Generational Theft

Obama’s reelection bid is no longer and promises of “hope & change,” its about running on his record …

Barack Obama has pretty much disillusions ed every one that voted for him in 2008, no voting block more than the college age youth.  They have gone from the Obama generation in 2008 to the “DEBT GENERATION”. Watch the video below from the Tennessee College Republicans, aptly titled, ” The Debt Generation”. Check out the Debt Clock.

The Debt Generation

Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit

In 2008 more than 2/3 of America’s youth voted for Barack Obama; however, little did the naive college kids know that Barack Obama would hang them out to dry and create an out of control debt of political gifts that they would be responsible for. Many of them now regret that they ever voted for Obama. The One handed out gifts like Santa Claus; however, Santa does not charge you for the gifts he gives, Obama does. Fewer young voters see themselves as Democrats and unlike 2008, the Obama magic is gone. The bloom is off the rose and Obama is not perceived as “Hope & Change” but instead the same old, same old of an establishment politician.

Welcome to the “generational” theft of Barack Obama. The result, Obama has lost the luvin’ feeling of America’s youth.

UPDATE I: A blast from the past from Vanderbilt from 2009 … And the Obama gang thought we would just forget.

Canada Peeved at Barack Obama’s Decision to Nix Keystone XL Pipeline … Obama Chooses Saudi Oil Over Canadian Oil (VIDEO)

CANADA NOT HAPPY WITH OBAMA AND HIS FALSE CAMPAIGN PROMISES … THE LYING KING!

Thanks Barack Hussein Obama for dissing our friend to the North, Canada, and going with Opec Saudi oil. Oh yea, and going with our other friend Hugo Chavez and Venezuelan oil. That’s it Barack, way to piss off our friends and allies. Here it from the mouths of Canadians. Sorry Mr. President, Ain’t no way to treat a friend”. What ever ahppened to to those shovel ready jobs that Obama was so keen on when it came to wasting American tax payer dollars?

Obama chose America’s enemies over America’s closed friend and ally

Remember when Obama promised to get off Mideast and Venezuela oil in 10 years time? America … did you forget that campaign promise? When Obama told you what you wanted to hear? Guess what … OBAMA LIED! Imagine an American President justifying going with Middle East OPEC oil and Venezuelan and slapping Canada in the face when he claimed he was going to rid America of Middle East oil. Mmm, mmm, mmm … Barack Hussein Obama.

We the People are Just Too Damn Stupid … Newsweek Says, “Why Are Obama’s Critics So Dumb”

Newsweek’s latest head line, “Why Are Obama’s Critics So Dumb?” I guess the editors nixed “Why Are Obama’s Critics So Racist?” Gee America, how does it feel to be called stupid and dumb because you dare be upset and question the increased unemployment under Barack Obama, the millions on food stamps and the out of control $16.2 trillion federal deficit. As stated at Powerline,we are just too damn ignorant to understand how Obama’s policies have devastated the economy and have caused a continued lack of job recover. It is this type of MSM coverage that will further alienate Obama to We the People.

Well, sure. We who who are unhappy that unemployment has increased on Obama’s watch, that over-regulation has stymied economic growth, that our children now owe a $15 trillion debt that we can’t pay–hey, we’re just dumb! We obviously aren’t smart enough to understand how devastating our economy, unemploying millions of Americans and burdening our children with trillions of dollars in debt is really a great idea.

Yup, we stupid folks must be ignorantly still clinging to our Bibles and guns. How dare any one question King Obama. Imagine anyone considering others stupid when only 28% of Americans think the country is headed in the right direction and a majority of Americans want Obamacare repealed.

Of course this partisan BS is brought to us by the same fools who wrote, “We are all Socialists now”.  As stated by the Lonely Conservatives, no wonder Newsweek went belly up and was sold for a $1. How pathetic is the liberal media that all they can do is use the “dumb” card.

Gallup: Barack Obama Job Approval Back to 50% Disapproval

Same as it ever was … Obama is back where he started.

Eventually, what goes up must come down as water and Barack Obama’s job approval rating seeks its own level. Obama’s job approval numbers are one again as the Kinks sang, “back were they started.” As per the most recent Gallup poll, Obama finds his job approval at  50% disapproval and only a 42% approval rating.

At Real Clear Politics, Obama finds his job approval polling underwater in the averaging of polls at 44.5% approval and 50.3 disapproval. This is after so called better economic news with the unemployment rate falling to 8.5%. Why? Intelligent Americans know that the unemployment rate is far worse, gas prices rising and the debt still out of control. Two in one Americans fear the reelection of Barack Obama, and so they should.

How’s that Hopey-Changey Stuff Working Out America … 2 in 1 Americans Fear Barack Obama’s Reelection in 2012

Barack Obama promised “Hope & Change” and has given America “Fear”. Which begs the question, how is that “Hopey-Changey” stuff working out for you America?

After one term of Obama failed promises, economic policies, record debt, record number of individuals on food stamps, a US News & World Report states that by a 2 to 1 margin, Americans fear, yes fear, a Barack Obama reelection in 2012. That is going to leave a mark. The poll further went on to say that almost  half of Americans 65 and older said Obama’s reelection was their top fear, 39 percent of those making $75,000 or more agreed. An Obama reelection … Be afraid America, be very afraid.

When it comes to how Americans view President Obama going into the new year, there appears to be very little spirit of Auld Lang Syne. Instead, according to the new Washington Whispers poll, many voters aren’t forgetting what they dislike about Obama and want him out office.

In our New Year’s poll, when asked what news event they fear most about 2012, Americans by a margin of two-to-one said Obama’s reelection. Only 16 percent said they fear the Democrat won’t win a second term, while 33 percent said they fear four more years.

Next to Obama’s reelection, 31 percent of Americans said they feared higher taxes, which may be proof that the president’s focus on the payroll tax cut has hit paydirt.

Senator Marco Rubio (FL-R) to Obama … You are Turning America into a “Deadbeat Nation”

Is this the “Hope & Change” America was promised … a deadbeat nation?

US Senator Marco Rubio (FL-R) fired off a scathing yet accurate letter to President Obama stating that during his first term and the lack of leadership from The One,  Obama is turning America into a “deadbeat nation”. With record number of Americans on food stamps, millions unemployed and a record federal national debt, Obama answer is to continue his reckless spending and European-like nanny state policies.

The entire letter can be read HERE.

In a scathing letter sent to Barack Obama this morning, Senator Marco Rubio said that under the President’s first term in office, “more and more people have come to believe that America is becoming a deadbeat nation.”

Rubio went on to pledge that he would challenge any further increase in the debt ceiling, arguing that “we [Congress] need to make it routine to actually spend no more than we take in.” In the letter obtained by HUMAN EVENTS, the Florida Senator said that President Obama’s upcoming request to increase the debt ceiling by a whopping $1.2 trillion will cause the nation’s public debt to surpass the $16 trillion mark.

“I will oppose your request to continue borrowing and spending recklessly.”

[...]

If President Obama led the charge to reduce the country’s unsustainable debt in mid 2011 rather than punt the enterprise to a “Super Committee,” asserted Rubio, we’d already be on a pathway toward economic growth and prosperity. “Unfortunately, the first three years of your presidency have been a profile in leadership failure.”

America cannot afford another four more years of Obama, let alone the damage he might cause in the next year prior to the 2012 election.

Gallup Poll: Most Americans Still Say They Are Better Off Than Their Parents … Might Want to Check Out that $15+ Trillion Debt

REALLY? SOME MAY WANT TO TAKE A BETTER LOOK AT THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES …

A recent Gallup poll showed that most Americans still say they are better off than their parents. REALLY? 69% of those polled said that they were better off than their parents, 29% said, not so much. Unless you are comparing your parents who lived during The Great Depression or the Carter 1970′s, the poll results are a bit hard to believe. Heck, many are not better off than I was in my mid to late 20′s. Of course those making more $’s say they are better off; however, I really wonder how much the younger folks in this survey understand the debt they owe in the future. They might be singing a different tune.

High-income Americans are significantly more likely than those with lower incomes to say they are doing better financially than their parents were when they were the same age. Still, even a majority of lower-income Americans say they are better off financially than their parents were.

Maybe Gallup should have polled the 1 year old to 10 year old demographic and the unborn who will be responsible for paying off the out of control $15 trillion (DEBT CLOCK), every growing debt run up by those who state they are better off then their parents! With this present economy, the number of unemployed, records number of food stamps, poor housing market, energy costs and the out of control federal debt, it is hard to believe how individuals think they are better off than their parents.

The fact that you have less liberties today than your parents did automatically makes you less better off than your parents.

Oh but wait according to ABC News, seniors will get an increase of $38 a month. BIG WOOP! Reason why there is an increase … inflation is on the rise.

Obamanomics New Home Sales … The Worst Year for Sales on Records Dating Back to 1963.

More failed Obama economic recovery … Barack Obama’s third year in office and his “Obamanomic” policies have done little to nothing to help new home sales. In fact, the numbers for 2011 were dismal. New home sales for 2011 are the worst on record dating back to 1963. Thanks President Obama. How can America afford to reelect this President in 2012?

The Commerce Department says new-home sales rose 1.6 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 315,000. That’s less than half the 700,000 new homes that economists say should be sold to sustain a healthy housing market.

It’s also below the 323,000 homes sold last year – the worst year for sales on records dating back to 1963. December would have to produce its best monthly sales total in four years for 2011 to finish ahead of last year’s total.

New homes account for less than 10 percent of the housing market. But they have a big impact on the economy. Each new home built creates roughly three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in taxes, according to the National Association of Home Builders.

Harvard Poll: 30% of Millennial Voters Say Obama will Win Reelection … Only 46% Job Approval Rating

NOW THE YOUNG ARE ABANDONING OBAMA ... Even more bad news for President Barack Obama, this time from “Millennial” voters, those from the age of 18 to 29 years.

Barack Obama was supposed to represent “Hope & Change” for the young people of America. However, since his election in 2008 all the “Millennial” voters have experience is that cannot gain employment. A recent Harvard poll has some extremely bad new for Obama in his 2012 reelection bid. According to Harvard’s Institute of Politics poll of “Millennial” voters, 36% think Barack Obama will lose while 30% think he will be voted into a second term. Also, only 46% of Millennials approve of the job Obama is doing as president, the lowest mark since IOP polling of the Obama administration began in the fall of 2009.

Full polling data can be found HERE. Also, some more damning polling data for Obama.

•Approximately one-third of younger voters following “Occupy” movement; less than one-in-four supportive.  Thirty-two percent of 18-29 year-olds say they followed the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrations either very (6%) or somewhat closely (26%), with 66% saying they were not following the demonstrations closely. Twenty-one percent (21%) of Millennials say they supported the “Occupy” movement with one-third (33%) not supportive and 46% either unsure or refused to answer.

•Job approval ratings continue to slide for President Obama as well as Democrats and Republicans in Congress. President Obama’s job performance rating among America’s 18-29 year-olds is currently at the lowest point since IOP polling of the Obama administration began in the fall of 2009. Forty-six percent (46%) of Millennials approve of the job Obama is doing as president – a decrease of nine percentage points from Feb. 2011 IOP polling (55%) – with 51% saying they disapprove. Obama’s job approval has also fallen among college students from 60% in February to 48% today. Views toward Democrats(33% approval; down from 45% in February)and Republicans in Congress(24% approval; down from 30% in February) have also slipped significantly over the same period.

Can you say the ship is sinking? This is hardly the polling data nor the downward trend that an incumbent President would want less than one year from an election.
