You and the rest of the Democrats are doing EXACTLY that... putting OweBama up on a pedistal talking about how wonderful , perfect and wise he is... despite EVERY bit of evidence he is a clueless dolt, without a shred of common sense..Quote:

Today Fisker Automotive, which received nearly $200 million in taxpayer money, is laying off 3/4 of its U.S. workers. Fisker of course is the company that makes electric cars for the 1%. They make the ultra-expensive Karma ;an electric hybid that is assembled in Finland .They received a green-energy loan to transition the assembly to the U.S. something that never happened.
The Fisker joins Tesla and other "green energy companies as Obama boondoggles and examples of his brand of "crony capitalism ".

Call it what you will but the capitalism is hardly the crony type, since the DOE is the one rethinking its options,
Quote:
The company ran into a cash crunch after the federal government froze an Energy Department loan. Fisker is supposed to make the first payment on some of $192 million it borrowed from the government later this month.
Quote:
Potential buyers would want to tap into the federal money to restart the business and launch work on a second model, the Atlantic, a $55,000, four-door rechargeable sports sedan. However, the government is reluctant to extend more credit without getting guarantees for U.S. employment and setting milestones for the development of the next vehicle.
I pray to no one. What imaginary character do you pray to?Quote:

Fisker hasn't built a car since July and its primary battery supplier, A123 Systems Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection and was purchased by Chinese auto parts maker Wanxiang Group Inc. It has been looking for a buyer for the company and hasn't found it. Maybe the US taxpayer can buy it and give the shares to the UAW .
A123 Systems was another Obamaboondoggle .
And while we 're at it ; The Obots shut down the WH tours and have been belly aching about the effects of the sequester.. Well when it came to spending priorities ;they made sure their cronies got their slice of the pie.
Despite Sequestration, DOE, Treasury Hand Out $1.2 Billion Cash
F-35 racked up $1.2 billion in cost overruns - One News PageQuote:
Section 1603 payments have not escaped sequestration, though awards will continue to be distributed for at least the next six months. Projects awarded Section 1603 funds beginning March 1, 2013, and continuing through September 30, 2013, will see an 8.7 percent reduction in their award amounts
You trying to make your case with
F-35 spending?? I think the whole project should be scrapped !
Me too, but Lockheed and the Netherlands may not agree since they have invested a considerable amount into its completion.
It's the one big disagreement with the military people I communicate with. It was a nice thought ;a one size fits all needs for all branches of service. But no ;it never could work.. If we are going to spend major $$$ on 21st century weaponry then it should perform better than it's 20th Century competition. I note that this week we sent a squadron of stealth F-22 Raptors to South Korea... not F-35 JSF .
I think with technology growing so fast, the shelf life for the latest weapons is a shorter one than they think. The F35 is a 50 year fix, but in 10 years it could be obsolete. The carriers may be as obsolete too.
I used to think that too ;but the Navy will rock with Electromagnetic Rail Guns mounted on carrier escorts . Those bad boys will be able to disable the anti-carrier missiles that the Chinese are developing before the carriers are in range.Quote:

Yes Tom and laser cannons will do wonders too and at a dollar a shot the military budget can be cut in half
Yup it's a win win . There is no down side to developing the weapon.
Yes there is a problem with putting all your eggs in one basket. Should there be a development of an EMP weapon it could take that system out leaving it defenseless. We need to be careful with choices we make and how much we rely on pure technology.Quote:

Exactly
So they can kick our a$$ before we kick theirs and we are helpless to stop them? Okay if you want to kiss NK's a$$ go ahead.
Many vehicles may still run. They just need to be cranked to get them running if the run on diesel. You don't need a spark to make a diesel motor run. And targeting was done by hand in the old days like in WW2. Many diesel motors also have an "air" starter so it takes no electricity to make it turn over.Quote:

Two years and what?
The most transparent administration EVER is at it again. Aside from the 600 page Friday document dump that's become an administration ritual, this time revealing Obamacare subsidies are going on the honor system, we now learn that they have a new tactic for hiding information from FOIA requests... the shell game.
Of course there was no intent to shield the records, extensively leaked by the administration itsel, from public view and it protects the identities of SEAL team members. So does a magic marker.Quote:
Bin Laden raid files reportedly purged from Pentagon computers, sent to CIA
The nation's top special operations commander ordered military files about the Navy SEAL raid on Usama bin Laden's hideout to be purged from Defense Department computers and sent to the CIA, where they could be more easily shielded from ever being made public.
The secret move, described briefly in a draft report by the Pentagon's inspector general, set off no alarms within the Obama administration even though it appears to have sidestepped federal rules and perhaps also the Freedom of Information Act.
I guess we should just trust them, they've done nothing to earn our distrust have they?Quote:
But secretly moving the records allowed the Pentagon to tell The Associated Press that it couldn't find any documents inside the Defense Department that AP had requested more than two years ago, and could represent a new strategy for the U.S. government to shield even its most sensitive activities from public scrutiny.
"Welcome to the shell game in place of open government," said Thomas Blanton, director of the National Security Archive, a private research institute at George Washington University. "Guess which shell the records are under. If you guess the right shell, we might show them to you. It's ridiculous."

Zero is pivoting back to the economy for the 976th time give or take a few, with a speech today that You're Going to Want to Watch but according to Obama, "not because I think the speech is going to change any minds" - which makes one wonder then what's the point?
I'm hoping he tells us how he rescued Detroit again...
