| Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe created American jobs with his recently acquired electric-car company – just not in Virginia. After he was asked about it at a campaign event this week, the exchange raised questions over how voters will react. The Democratic candidate said it’s the state’s fault for not pursuing manufacturing business like his own, recommending more aggressive tax incentives. As he cast it, McAuliffe’s own company is a case study in Virginia’s economic policy. McAuliffe’s firm, GreenTech opened a plant in Horn Lake, Miss., in July and plans to open another in Tunica, Miss.,

I really don´t care where McAuliffe builds his stupid plants,what I want to know is if he got the money from Obama under another green scheme.
The Slimes castigated Texas for stealing jobs from other states using tax incentives,wonder how they feel about McAuliffe taking advantage of it in Miss.?
McAuliffe is unfit and too corrupt to be governor of anything. But with N.Va. having scores of gov´t workers,illegals and muslims he could win the state. All he needs is Obama voters showing up.

After Global Crossing, McAuliffe´s name should be MUD.
GreenTech sounds like a stimulus scam, knowing the man´s history.

I will tell you how voters will react: the federal employees and blacks will vote him into office because he is a democrat.

Isn´t Mississippi a right to work state? How do the dems unions feel about that? Why, yes it is! why didn´t he open his plants in places like Michigan, or California? When it comes down to making money, with dems it´s "Hurray for me. Screw you".

Terry has a history of bankruptcy, governmental funding with federal grants and state tax relief, and his political funding comes the Clinton machine and unions. He is a prime example of democrat slime.

VA is a right to work state, very friendly to businesses. Many businesses are fleeing states like MD next door for VA´s friendly business climate. I fear he moved his business to MS because their wages are lower.

Of course he´s a recipient of stimulus dollars and of course he moved the plant there due to low wages. I try to tell people this is merely an extension of the Clinton administration-the Hillary version , anyway. Bill took a few ashtrays to the noggin for breaking Alinsky´s rules of even pretending to be bi-partisan. The only thing that has changed is the figurehead in our White House. Barry´s suit of melanin armor has allowed Hillary to accomplish nearly everything she dreamed of in the 90s. He´s untouchable and I feel really bad about being a racist when I say that. OK, I´m over it.

The real question that should be asked to Terry McAuliffe is why he didn´t invest in a plant in a Blue State like Illinois, California, or Massachusetts. Why did he invest in a red state that did not vote for Obama or Clinton for president? I find it interesting when liberals invest like conservatives but vote like welfare addicts.

Well, I´m not sure about Horn Lake, but Tunica is an extremely depressed (read majority black) area of the Mississippi Delta region which, until the casinos took root, was a Life magazine picture paradise of ´long-suffering black people of Mississippi.´
There´s probably a huge government grant tucked away somewhere. Good luck finding people willing to work a job there.
However, Mississippi is a ´right-to-work´ state and is doing fairly well in attracting industry, which tends toward the Eastern and central areas of the state. Nissan has a facility just north of Jackson and Toyota just opened a new plant close to Tupelo.

Where´s Terry getting all this money to open car plants. Count me as one that suspects that the money has been stolen from the taxpayers.

Obama to Charlie Rose, yesterday: I’ve stood up a privacy and civil liberties oversight board made up of independent citizens, including some fierce civil libertarians. I’ll be meeting with them and what I want to do is to set up and structure a national conversation not only about these two programs but also about the general problem of these big data sets because this is not going to be restricted to government entities. The board Obama is referring to was created in 2004. Nominations and confirmation delays prevented the board from being particularly effective,

Obama never fails to enlist children in his secularist crusades, whether at home or abroad. Last week he trotted out two nine-year-old girls to introduce him at a White House event celebrating “LGBT Pride Month.” “We could not be prouder of Zea and Luna for the introduction,” he said. “Zea and Luna are here with their moms, and also I think with Grandma and Grandpa — correct? And so feel free to congratulate them afterwards for their outstanding introduction.” Zea and Luna proved useful to Obama not only as props for LGBT rights but also as mouthpieces for his gun-control agenda:

With dozens of Democratic lawmakers struggling to live on a food stamp budget to protest GOP cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, a Republican staffer says he is living on a SNAP budget without problems. Texas Republican Rep. Steve Stockman’s communications director and agriculture policy advisor, Donny Ferguson, says he has been able to eat well on $27.58 for a week, less than the $31.50 House Democrats have limited themselves to for their “SNAP Challenge.” “I wanted to personally experience the effects of the proposed cuts to food stamps. I didn’t plan ahead or buy strategically,

The ongoing saga of Edward Snowden has at least been moving in the right direction for President Obama. Snowden may once have tried to position himself as a whistleblower, but he has since devolved into ingratiating himself with authoritarian regimes by plying them with American national security secrets. While Pete is correct that the NSA story seems to be hurting voters’ opinion of Obama’s trustworthiness, Americans are by now realizing that they would be foolish to go the other extreme and place that trust in Snowden. It is also (understandably) distracting the public’s attention from the scandals that preceded it,

In two contexts the Obama administration has revealed its complete confusion about high-stakes negotiations and the interrelation of soft and hard power. In Syria, after dragging his feet for two years, trying to fudge over his own “red line” and coming up with a half-hearted move to give small arms to the rebels, President Obama discovers that he can’t budge Russia, which has backed Bashar al-Assad to the hilt. The Post reports that at the Group of 8 summit: Obama has demanded that Assad relinquish power as part of any negotiated peace settlement, a condition Putin rejects.

Prosecutor Gaspar Armando Garcia Torres said Walter Lee Williams, 64, is wanted on charges of sexual exploitation of children and traveling abroad for Garcia said Williams was captured late Tuesday while drinking coffee near a park in the Caribbean beach town. “This person is wanted by the FBI because he is linked to the sexual exploitation of children,” Garcia told reporters.

At least for now (although a statewide referendum may be pending), Arizona governor Jan Brewer, a Republican, has succeeded in her efforts to implement a key part of Obamacare in her state. Brewer has very aggressively — and entirely voluntarily — spearheaded the charge to implement Obamacare’s massive Medicaid expansion on her watch. She now claims, however, that she’s not really implementing Obamacare — or at least not any significant portion of it. In a recent interview reported by the Associated Press, Brewer said, “This business that this is Obamacare is a little bit interesting.”

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the President’s life. The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution. As part of the “evacuation route” plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.
