$300 million of your tax dollars from Obama’s stimulus went to purchase equipment and employ people from Korea
I don’t know if I should laugh, or be pissed off about this. The Obama stimulus bill has been an epic failure. Nearly a trillion in tax payer dollars has been flushed down the toilet. There have been a ton of examples of what a waste the stimulus has been. Anywhere from Solyndra to millions wasted to study cow farts. Now comes word from CBS that $300 million of your tax payer dollars from Obama’s failed stimulus went to two electric battery plants in Michigan. Using that $300, the plants bought equipment and hired workers from Korea, not America. The only reason why I snicker at this is that Obama’s union thug pals are pissed off over this.

Another Obama backed solar company Energy Conversion Devices, goes bankrupt after getting $13.3 million in tax credits
Another Obama/Democrat backed solar company bites the dust. A solar company called Energy Conversion Devices, which last year moved 140 American jobs from Michigan to Mexico has gone bankrupt. It’s not easy being green. But it’s easy getting tax payer green from the corrupt Obama regime. Reuters describes this company as “lightweight.” But any company that gets $13.3 million in tax credit doesn’t seem “lightweight” to me.

Obama stimulus “green energy” company Ener1 EnerDel goes bankrupt after receiving $118.5 Million tax payer dollars
Here’s yet another Solyndra type “green energy” company your tax dollars paid for with stimulus that has gone bankrupt. This company didn’t make solar panels, but instead batteries for electric cars. Regardless, it’s another one of those stimulus funded companies via the nearly one trillion dollar stimulus that’s gone belly up. Think the media will cover it? Of course not. The CNN Debate tonight didn’t bother asking about this, or Solyndra. Instead we got questions like “why will your wife be a good first lady.” Oh and according to CNSNEWS, Biden visited this company in 2011.
Your tax dollars at work – $682,570 spent to study ‘Shrimp On A Treadmill’ in 2011
You know fat cakes Michelle Obama loves that seafood. So why not waste the tax payer’s money on shrimps running on treadmills? According to CNSNEWS, $682,570 grant of your money to pay for this was used to study “How are human-made marine stresses affecting the marine life that we need?.”e Reports of $500,000 of taxpayer funds to study a project that has shrimp running on a treadmill hit the headlines early in 2011. A recent report now shows that $682,570 in grants has been awarded to the research effort. It was also used to take the pulse of marine life in “stressed seas.”

Great! Marxist Democrat Mike Honda on Obama’s nearly $1 trillion stimulus – “The stimulus bill was put together because we didn’t know what the hell was going on”
Hey, at least Marxist Democrat Rep. Mike Honda is being honest. In a Daily Caller interview, the far left California Democrat admitted that Obama’s nearly $1 trillion stimulus/porkulus bill was put together in early 2009 because:
“we (Democrats) didn’t know what the hell was going on”
Another $43 million down the drain – “Green” company Beacon Power files for bankruptcy after Obama spreads the tax payer wealth
Another day, another $43 million in tax payer money down the drain. According to The Blaze, Beacon Power, a Massachusetts-based, “clean-energy” company, filed for bankruptcy this past weekend, after receiving $43 million in tax payer funded loan guarantees last year. Beacon Power’s excuse for filing bankruptcy? It’s because of the current economic and political climate. Yet, Obama is supposed to be the most “clean energy” friendly president in U.S. history isn’t he?
Truckin’ to Solyndra. Another $424,000 in stimulus wasted on now bankrupt Mountain Plaza truck stop
Hey, at least this was only around half a million dollars wasted by the stimulus, and not half a billion like Solyndra. Of course, half a billion was wasted on an Al Gore connected electric car company called called Fisker that produces cars in Finland instead of America. But it’s all cool for Marxist Democrats and Obama. According to The Blaze, Mountain Plaza, INC has gone belly up despite the half a million dollars of our money.
Obama fails again – $35 billion payoff to union dies in the Senate
Another epic failure for Obama. The Senate killed his latest attempt to pay off the unions with $35 billion porkulus bill going down 50 to 50. Three Marxist Democrats who suddenly are trying to play conservative voted against the bill. Yet the headline from the biased corrupt news organizations like Associated Press is claiming Senate Republicans filibustered Obama’s jobs bill. Before even worrying about luring in some RINOs, the Democrats better worry about getting their own party to vote not to “filibuster” Obama’s spending bills. The three Democrats who voted against the bill are coming up on an election year next year. Suddenly, Cornhusker Kickback king Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana are fiscal hawks, voting against the bill. Warmongering Democrat Joe Liberman’s seat is open next year as he’s retiring, and he voted no as well.

Congrats America! You paid $2.4 million for Solyndra’ law firm Wilson Sonsini
I guess we can just add this extra $2 million to the half a billion we’ve wasted on Solyndra. Greta Van Susteren reported that we have paid Solyndra’s legal bill to Wilson Sonsini of $2.4 million. Want a break down of extra what the $2.4 entails? Good luck finding it. When a left winger like Greta gets ticked off, you know it’s bad. Van Susteren asked for some research to be done to find the bill so she could go over Wilson Sonsini’s legal bill and post it on her blog. But according to her response, Wilson Sonsini’s work for Solyndra is not a matter of public record. Why? Because of the big transparent Obama regimes first stimulus reporting requirements!
Dingy Harry Reid and Senate Democrat vote down Obama’s faux jobs bill
I love the AP headline about Obama’s latest failure in the Senate.
Senate Republicans vote to block $447 billion Obama jobs bill, roll call continues.
Problem for the biased AP is it wasn’t just those evil Republicans who voted down Obama’s union/trial lawyer payoff bill. Three Senate Democrats, including the old codger Dingy Harry Reid voted NAY on the bill as well, making the defeat of the bill bi-partisan. Two other Democrats who are most likely toast in next year’s election, but want to try and play “blue dogs” were Cornhusker Kickback King Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana. Obama’s West Virginia rubber stamp Joe Manchin, the man who replaced KKK Robert Byrd who claimed earlier he wouldn’t vote for the bill, did. Why am I not surprised?

Obama claims his stimulus will grow GDP by “as much as” 2 percent – cost of bill will be 3 percent of GDP
Only in Obamaland, or progressive Marxist liberal loon land could passing a bill that would grow the GDP by “as much as” 2% at a cost of 3% of current GDP be considered good for the American economy. According to CNSNEWS, Obama made these claims earlier today at his pitiful press conference where he threw another tantrum like a baby, and praised the Communists of Occupy Wall Street. Obama claimed his “America Jobs Act” aka Stimulus 2.0 could “grow the economy as much as 2 percent.” Yet the cost of the stimulus is $447 billion — or 2.97 percent of the 2011 GDP of $15.012 trillion that is currently projected by the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis
Stupid Obama cites Boston Teacher Robert Baroz who is currently employed as reason to pass his stimulus bill
PASS MY BILL Obama all screeches. Because Boston teachers like Robert Baroz need a job. Yes, the stimulus bill is nothing more than a payoff to the unions and trial lawyers. But what’s the point of a stimulus to pay for teachers who are already employed and teaching? Newsbusters caught dumb ass Obama’s false claim, they found it on CBS Boston. Obama used the story of a teacher in the Boston area, Robert Baroz to push his jobs porkulus bill and claimed:
“Why wouldn’t we want to pass a bill that puts somebody like Robert back in the classroom teaching our kids?”
Problem for dumb ass Obama, Mr. Baroz is already employed, and teaching English at a Boston area middle school (we used to call these Junior High school.) And you want to trust this nitwit to run the country?

Even Dingy Harry Reid in no rush to pass Obama’s Porkulus bill
Obama used his scare mongering tactics today to try and get Congress to pass his union/trial lawyer payoff porkulus bill. But Democrats are ditching Obama in droves, especially after last night’s special election in New York. Even far left loser dingy Harry Reid isn’t in a hurry to pass this bill, despite Obama calling this a “national emergency.” According to the Daily Caller, Harry Reid is busy with other things, and wouldn’t even bring up the “American Jobs Act” for a vote until at least October, if not after that.
Obama regime refuses to predict how many jobs that the “American Jobs Act” will create
After the epic failure that the first stimulus bill of nearly a trillion dollars was, the Obama regime refuses to predict what it’s son of stimulus aka the American Jobs Act will do in terms of job growth. According to all the eggheads in the White House, we should be at around 6% unemployment today due to the first stimulus. The unemployment rate should never have gone higher than 8.4%. How did that work out? After ZERO jobs were created in August, the unemployment rate stood (somehow) at 9.1%. It’s averaged about 9.4% during the Obama reign of terror. The real unemployment rate which includes people who have just given up looking for a job, or are working part time when they want a full time job stands at a staggering 16.2%. But as Obama says, PASS MY BILL! PASS IT NOW! Yet, there is no numbers from the regime aside from the jacking up of taxes and spending to union thugs. Not one report on how many jobs the so called plan is predicted to create according to Fox News.

ObamaFAIL! 2.4 million fewer Americans working now since signing of stimulus
How’s that porkulus bill working out for you? If you aren’t a union thug chances are it’s not working out that well. According to CNSNEWS approximately 2.4 million fewer Americans were working in June 2011 than there were when Obama signed the the epic failure known as the “economic stimulus bill” back in February of 2009.

Obama and porkulus fail – America has lost 1.9 million jobs since stimulus was signed
Remember when Obama and his collection of economic dunces who have fled his sinking regime claims that with that porkulus bill, unemployment would peak at 8% and we’d be at around 6% today? How’s that working out for you. We are now twenty-eight months out since the Obama regime rammed the porkulus bill down America’s throat which cost at least $1 trillion. What do we have to show for it? Aside from studying things like cow farts, we have nearly 2 million people who have lost their jobs. According to CNSNEWS, in February 2009, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that 141.7 million people were employed. By the end of May 2011 – the last month for which data are available – that number had fallen to 139.8 million, a difference of 1.9 million. But don’t expect the media to report on these numbers.

Outrageous! Obama probe on stimulus waste to be held at the Ritz-Carlton
I guess the election didn’t send the Obama regime any messages. The arrogance of this regime knows no bounds, as they have planned a probe on “stimulus waste” at the glitzy Ritz-Carlton hotel. The ironic thing about this that it will be hosted in Phoenix, Arizona. Aren’t progressive liberals supposed to be boycotting the state of Arizona? According to the Washington Examiner, the Ritz-Carlton in Phoenix is located “in the midst of the picturesque Camelback Corridor, the city’s premier shopping, dining and financial district.”
Guess what? Obama wants another $50 BILLION stimulus for infrastructure
I guess all those “shovel-ready” projects from the nearly $1 trillion stimulus bill last year are all done or something. According to Fox News/AP, Obama now wants a $50 billion plan to upgrade the nation’s transportation networks and create jobs, bringing governors and mayors to the White House to help him make the case. Wait, wasn’t that what the original porkulus was supposed to do? I guess you can only go so far when you pay dead people and jailed people. Though i’m sure the first porkulus bill’s projects like testing cocaine on monkeys or study the odor the cow farts paid for itself.
$13 billion to stimulate the dead and jailbirds!
Hey! Remember all those stimulus checks being sent to non-existent zip codes? How about 89,000 stimulus payments for a total of $13 billion being sent to dead people and jailed people? No wonder Joe Biden is supposedably in charge of the distributing stimulus funds! Aren’t you happy to know that your tax payer money is going to the dead and criminals? Details from Fox News:
Transparency! $162 million in stimulus funds not disclosed at Recovery.gov
Remember when Obama bragged about having the most transparent government in U.S. when he was elected? Most people actually believed. Some like me laughed and said yea right. Looks like I got the last laugh. USA Today has been a big Obama homer ever since he got elected, so the fact they broke this story is a bit surprising. According to their story, Recovery.gov is missing $162 million in stimulus funds disclosure. All the dollars from the so called stimulus bill that have been spent were supposed to be posted on the website. Instead, we’ve got things like money going to zip codes that don’t exist, and now the news that significant money isn’t disclosed.
