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.

Its Back … Artist Jon McNaughton Depicts Barack Obama Trampling The Constitution in “The Forgotten Man”
ART, A POWERFUL REMINDER …
Certain works of art just have a way of resurfacing over and over again … as does “The Forgotten Man” depicting Barack Obama trampling the US Constitution. What a powerful piece of art showing a man sitting on a park bench, representing “We the People,” as he tries to find the American dream as an overwhelming expansion of government is trust upon him. All the Presidents of the past look upon the government of today and Barack Obama trampling on out freedoms, liberty and Constitution.
As the artist Jon McNaughton says in the below VIDEO, actions speak louder than words, as does the brush strokes of his painting … “Mr President, you took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States”. If you have not already seen this video, I suggest you do so.
In front of the White House a man is sitting on a park bench in the throes of depression. He is surrounded by all 43 presidents. In the forefront, purposefully ignoring the depressed man is President Obama, whose right foot is stepping on the Constitution. James Madison is next to Obama, pleading with him to stop.
“For a long time I didn’t know if I wanted to paint this picture, because I worried it might be too controversial,” McNaughton explains in a voice over. “(T)his man (on the park bench) represents every man, woman, and child who is an American… he hopes to find the American dream of happiness and prosperity.
“But now because of unconstitutional acts imposed by the American people by our government we stand on the precipice of disasters,” he added.

Barack Obama Plays Politics at National Prayer Breakfast … Justifies His Taxing the Rich Because that is What Jesus Would Do
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO OBAMA’S SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE?
Dear Barack Obama, there is only one Messiah, please do not believe your press clippings that you are the Obamamessiah. Trust me, you are hardly the “One” we have been waiting for.
Yesterday at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Barack Obama decided to make the event what all his events are … political. The One took the opportunity to justify his taxes on the rich because that is what Jesus would tax the rich. Really Mr. President. Just curious, what ever happened to separation of Church and State? Oh that’s right, you only use that when its convenient for you. What a shock that Obama would do the unthinkable and use a religious event for his partisan policies.
The rich should pay more not only because “I actually think that is going to make economic sense, but for me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus’s teaching that ‘for unto whom much is given, much shall be required,’” Obama said at the Washington Hilton, delivering remarks at an annual event that every president has attended since Dwight D. Eisenhower.
“We can all benefit from turning to our Creator, listening to him,” Obama said. “Avoiding phony religiosity. … This is especially important right now when we’re facing some big challenges as a nation.”
Obama infused his remarks on spirituality with a populist message of economic fairness, echoing rhetoric he unveiled in December in Osawatomie, Kan., and returned to in his State of the Union address last week. Without countering his Republican presidential opponents head on, Obama offered a contrast to Mitt Romney’s positions on class and wealth.
The Lonely Conservative has the VIDEO so no one can spin that he either did not say it, or that it was not meant to be political.
What else would we expect from a man who learned Christianity at a church whose pastor would rant, “God damn America”. Or as the Gateway Pundit says, “Barack Obama is his Bother’s keeper, except for his own brother George.” A President who at every chance attacks religion, now cloaks himself in it to justify taxing the rich. Really Barack, is that all you got out of the Bible?
Barack Obama talks about everyone else having to pay taxes, yet when it comes to giving of himself with charitable contributions, its a joke. Why all of a sudden has Obama tried to evoke religion into the political discourse? Interestingly enough, no where during his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast did he refer to any Christians he wanted to tax as clinging to their Bibles. Go figure.
As the Bible teaches us, beware of false prophets. The tax comments are shallow words coming from a man who is the most polarizing President ever! What would Jesus say about that.

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.
Mark Oxner Campaign Ad for Florida District 27 … “Turn This Ship Around” … ““let’s not enslave our children with debt”
And now for a campaign ad that is completely different … from Mark Oxner for Congress. Oxner appears to be running against liberal flame thrower and former Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, who was booted out of his District 8 office in 2010. The New Times actually calls it a “slave ship,” as depicted in the ad. Really? Have the libs at the NY Times not noticed the mountain of debt that Obama has strapped future generations to come with? Sorry if this ad does not meet the NY Times politically correct standards.
From The Blaze:
File this one under wackiest political advertisement ever made — or, at the least, one of the oddest to date. You may think that I’m being dramatic here, but take a moment to watch the 39-second clip called, “Turn This Ship Around,” that was recently created and released by the Mark Oxner campaign.
Oxner, a Republican, is hoping to win the District 27 congressional seat in Florida come November. His new video, which departs wildly from more issue-based campaign pleas, is turning heads for more reasons than one.
The bizarre ad takes place on a vessel that looks like pirate ship — but with some amenities. The New Times actually calls calls it a “slave ship.” While there’s no definitive way to determine that this is, indeed, intended to invoke images and themes related to slavery, footage of children rowing the massive boat with a voiceover that says “let’s not enslave our children with debt,” only add fuel to the fire.
Just curious, when Obama and Democrats only want to increase taxes and spending on the backs of the American people and continually increase the debt on the Chinese credit card, have record numbers on food stamps, high unemployment and actually stopping a work projects like the Keystone XL Pipeline that chooses Saudi and Venezuelan oil over Canada … what else would one call it?
The proposed District 27 is supposed to encompass most of Oceola County, plus bits of Orange and Polk counties, if the map survives probable challenges in court.
