1/2 Billion Dollar Green Jobs Loan Produces Cars in Finland

Fisker Karma $87,400
One trillion in green jobs loans blow up in the administration's face. First there was the solar energy debacle and now this nasty mess with jobs going to Finland.  Al Gore has his hands in this deal also making it all even more interesting. 

The Obama administration approved a 529 million dollar federal loan to Fisker to build these luxury hybrids that sell for over 87,000 dollars.  Not your typical family car that would be in high demand but a car only the rich 1% could afford.  A car that targets the very same people the administration tells us don't pay their fair share.  Are these successful people now suppose to buy these foreign made cars and pay higher taxes? After all if the rich don't buy these things and the company fails the US taxpayers will have to foot the bill.   Than there is the issue of the 7,500 dollar tax credit you get if you buy a Fisker.  That seems kind of like a corporate jet tax loophole to me.  Needless to say we are confused about this whole deal.

Olbermann Tanks Current TV Ratings

Is it that viewers are tired of Olbermann or is it that viewers are tired of Current TV?  Either way Al Gore's network is a big ratings looser with Olbermann only reaching 46,000 viewers.  

The only winner is Mr. Olbermann who is paid ten million a year for failing.

PA Capital City Files Bankruptcy

To broke to put current Mayor's name on the sign





Harrisburg tried to go green but ended up in the red instead.  Their debt burden is five times their general-fund budget.  All this over trash/waste disposal.  Maybe they should of just dug a bigger hole to dump their trash in.

President Obama said people were angry because Wall Street had not been “following the rules”. His vice-president even compared the movement on Thursday to the Tea Party.

Once again the administration is on the wrong side of the issue and out of step with the majority of Americans.

Tea Party Members Difference's with Occupy Wall Street Protesters


  • Tea Party members have jobs
  • Tea Party members take baths
  • Tea Party members vote conservative
  • Tea Party members want smaller government
  • Tea Party members have not been arrested at their protests
  • Tea Party members were not given rain ponchos by the Mayor of LA
  • Tea Party members do not defecate on police cars
  • Tea Party members get no support from Nancy Pelosi

There are other differences for sure.  Comment with your addition to the list please.

EPA Regs Force Ameren Shutdown of 2 Power Plants

Brace yourself for higher utility rates because the administration thinks the air is not clean enough.  Even though the air quality in America is much better than in years past the Obama administration has promulgated regulations that are forcing power plants to shut down.    

If the goal of the administration is to make business less competitive they are doing a good job of it.  Experts are predicting 60% increases in electrical rates by 2014.  Higher utility rates will mean increased prices for everything you buy or produce. Spending more on your utilities will leave less money for you to buy things and that means less jobs for Americans.

Harry Reid Blocks Vote on Jobs Bill

That's right folks, the democrat leader of the senate blocked a vote on the presidents jobs bill.  

In an effort to give the president what he is asking for, republican minority leader Mitch McConnell attempted to force a vote today on the bill.  Reid, wanted no part of a vote and tells us the bill will come up to the full senate later this month.  Here we have the president running around demanding action and his own party will not support his plan.  All the while the White House and the Lamestream media blame the republicans for not passing the bill.
