Obama: Green energy
not ‘socialist plot’

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Ben Geman

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 10/8/2012 11:54:21 AM

President Obama quipped Sunday night that energy efficiency initiatives are not a “socialist plot” in remarks that contrasted his energy policies with rival Mitt Romney’s. The president, fundraising in Los Angeles, addressed energy during a $25,000-per-plate dinner with backers that included actor George Clooney. “On energy, I’m big on oil and gas, and developing clean coal technology, but I also believe that if we’re ever going to have control of our energy future, then we’ve got to invest in solar and wind and biofuels, and that it does make sense for us to double our

Comments:
That green energy sure has been successful! Isn't he funny and cavalier about the energy crisis in this nation. s/o He's a pathological liar that he's "big on oil and gas, and developing clean coal technology." I live for the day I don't have to see that vile individual spouting his lies every day .

0bama's green energy policy has been a dismal failure; he has pumped Billions of Dollars into companies his friends manage, and they have all failed. 0bama rewrote contract law so that the taxpayers are NOT first to get their money back, rather 0bama's friends keep all the money left over, and the taxpayer is left with nothing. Socialism? Well, perhaps it is worse than socialism.

Obama has something against socialist plots?
Not possible. Obama "presidency" = socialist plot.

Of course it is a socialist plot, though it is perfectly possible the principal plotters are themselves unaware of it. Economic naifs like Obama and most other Leftists don't understand how the world works. They don't understand human beings - including themselves. And for people who like to brag about their intelligence and education, they are remarkably ignorant of history.

If Obama knew anything about history besides slogans and sound bites he would know that whenever the government "invests" in something there is always colossal waste, corruption and fraud. Much of the money "invested" in the transcontinental railroad and other railroads went into the pockets of cronies and crooked politicians. Thus it comes as no surprise that Obama's "investments" in green energy have done the same. Public officials either do not know how to use public funds wisely - or they are too corrupt to do so. They have no skin in the game, moneywise. It is misleading to speak of "investing" when those responsible for the "investments" have nothing at stake. The correct word would be disbursing or allocating. Such disbursements and allocations are made, not on financial, i.e. reality based considerations, but solely upon political grounds.

People like Obama and other Leftists should never, ever be given authority over public monies or anything else of national importance. They are like children who have no idea how the world actually works but are guided by their fantasies, whims and wishful thinking. Unlike children, however, they seldom learn from experience. They make the same mistakes again and again because their fantasies are more important to them than the real world.

If you stool Obama on his head, he'd be right side up. The guy is upside down and backwards on everything.

Let THE MARKET invest in green energy; you, Obama, don't have the right to take the public's money and invest it wherever you want. I use the term "invest" loosely because you, Obama, have used public money to invest in your own re-election by handing it over to crony corporations that will use that money to support your campaign.

That is corruption at the highest level.

Again, trying to Alinsky anyone asking questions. Here's what your green energy programs are, Mr. Obama: cronyism in it's most despicable form.

And, yes, cronyism is very prevalent in Socialist countries. So while it might not be a "plot", it is certainly a side effect of your policies.

Forward to the 11th century:


Evidence of windmills in England dates from the 12th century, with earlier references to "mills" (such as in the 11th century Doomsday Book) generally held to be talking about either animal or water powered mills.

As steam power developed, the uncertain power of the wind became less and less economic, and we are left today with a tiny fraction of the elegant structures that once extracted power from the wind. These remaining windmills, scattered throughout the world, are a historic, and certainly very photogenic, reminder of a past technological age.

There is a 3-part policy being pushed by this administration.

Part 1 is green energy which is given fat subsidies to enrich politically connected friends and help it compete with conventional power

Part 2 is to monkey-wrench conventional power by attacking hydraulic fracturing, reneging on permits approved for mountain top removal, closing Yucca Mtn, denying the permit for Keystone XL, and the moratoriums and permitorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

Part 3 is paying eco groups to sue the EPA.

The *only* thing I can see that Obama really believes in on his own is "green energy". Unfortunately he lacks the mathematical ability, much less the scientific education, of an average fourteen year old. Was already into choom at that age, I guess. So he just doesn't know when he's spouting gibberish.

As to socialist plots, when Obama suggests filling a pothole, the way he does EVERYTHING makes it sound like a socialist plot. He *wants* it to sound like that.

During the Vietnam War, starring Democrat Lyndon Johnson, there was a popular hippie saying, something like " Ten miles up the Big Muddy, and the big fool says to move on."

Perhaps someone could correct me as to the wording, but we should cry out " No more Solyndras, but this year's leader says to move on".

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice. The wrong name, he warned, could doom a good bill. “If there´s not a

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.
