“GREEN SCAM: 80% of Green Energy Loans Went to Obama Donors – 19 Companies Went Bust”

Go on. Pretend to be shocked and outraged by what is essentially a crony-style kickback / laundering scheme.  It’s really all that we have left.

    why is Johnson Controls on that list?

  3. BurtTC says:

    Since when was the Chevy Volt a company? And maybe I missed it, but when did it go out of business?

  4. happyfeet says:

    i think it qualifies as a failure Mr. Burt

  5. sdferr says:

    Here’s what the Heritage site had to say about Johnson, hf, by way of justification we presume:

    President Obama finally found a clean energy success! Well, not exactly.

    A new campaign ad from President Obama features a man who claims his job was saved by President Obama’s meddling in the auto industry. The company that the man works for, Johnson Controls, received $299 million in taxpayer-funded subsidies from the stimulus and promised to build two factories in America. They built one in America, and will build the other one in Hungary. Not only that, but Johnson Controls will be laying off workers in the coming months.

    Oh yeah, and the company was just fined for using an unreasonable amount of lead. So much for a success. If that’s the best President Obama can do, Americans are in for a dire situation should he be re-elected and allowed to invest more of our money in these companies.

    So it looks as though Heritage person counts Johnson in the ‘failing’ category. This sort of stuff reeks of arbitrariness, and to that end has become laced with a kind of “what the heck, go for it” attitude, as that’s what their opponents seem to thrive on. We only have to recall the lying liars of the likes of Jared Bernstein, Mark Zandi, and Austen Goolesby to get that picture, without even stooping to capture idiots like Rex Nutting.

  6. happyfeet says:

    they’re definitely piggied up at the trough in a very low-class ghetto way

    but I’m not sold on the idea they should go in the fail column with the Chevy Volt

  7. SporkLift Driver says:

    The commenter Mark W made the observation that none of the 20% that didn’t go to Obama donors went to McCain donors. I think he’s correct as we’d of heard about it loud and clear if any of these green scammers were republican donors. That implies one of two things. Either the Obama crew were very careful not to send any money to Republican backers or Republicans don’t go for running green scams. If the former then I think the Obama crew is regretting their fastidiousness at this point :)

    here’s what the sputterings of sleazy economist whore for hire Mark Zandi are reduced to these days Mr. sdferr

    Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said the officials with the biggest influence over the short-term fate of the economy are in Europe, struggling with a debt crisis and in China, struggling with a slowdown.*

  10. sdferr says:

    “What’s a Democrat to do?”

    Blame someone else, obviously.

  11. happyfeet says:

    0h. but yeah good catch Mr. sdferr

    Clash looms between the EccoNoobs and PETA paste eaters

    – Rueters, Anchorage Alaska, 05/24/12
    “Scientists have discovered that the Caribou of the great Northwest have incorporated rendevous next to the Akaskan pipeline into their dating and reproduction rituals. Researchers say this new behavior is likely a major factor in the eight fold increase in the herd population for the region.

    As a result, any preposed reduction in the lines could be devastating to the species survival. Additional studies are planned, but a spokesman for the investigation said “Theres no doubt this conclusion is accurate.”

    – Apparently the Caribou have discovered something everyone knows except the elites. Warmth is essential for laying pipe.

  13. happyfeet says:

    and apparently our own fascist EPA is leveraging the Chineser bullshit to ass-fuck Johnson Controls out of upwards of 600 million dollars

    Huge Ancient Civilization’s Collapse Explained

    “The mysterious fall of the largest of the world’s earliest urban civilizations nearly 4,000 years ago in what is now India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh now appears to have a key culprit — ancient climate change, researchers say.”

    – For all of you who were worried, you can relax. According to the leading high priests of the post-modern religion of Climatology. all life on earth as we know it went extinct over 4000 years ago.

    – So, at least we have that going for us.

  18. McGehee says:

    “Scientists have discovered that the Caribou of the great Northwest have incorporated rendevous next to the Akaskan pipeline into their dating and reproduction rituals…”

    This has been observed for nearly 40 years by people who live and work on the North Slope. This from the scientists puts me in mind of a cartoon I saw once: a couple of Indians are watching Columbus claiming the New World for the Spanish, and one says to the other, “We’ve lived here all our lives and he discovers America!?”

  19. BigBangHunter says:

    – Very possibly thats why they call it Re-search McGehee.

    – The Elites keep losing things.

    Compelling reasons to support Pot legalization #14

    PHOENIX (AP) , 06/1/12 — “Phoenix police have arrested a woman who allegedly drove off after forgetting that her 5-week-old baby was in a car seat on the roof of her vehicle.

    Officer James Holmes said officers were called out early Saturday after witnesses found a child strapped in a safety seat in the middle of an intersection.

    The boy wasn’t hurt. He’s now in the custody of Arizona Child Protective Services.

    Authorities say the child’s mother, 19-year-old Catalina Clouser, her boyfriend and their friends had been smoking marijuana earlier in the evening at a nearby park.

    Upset that her boyfriend was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, police say Clouser went to the home of friends and smoked more marijuana.

    Clouser left around midnight. Police say she apparently put the sleeping baby on the roof and drove off, forgetting he was there.”

    – The things a person has to put up with these days for a toke, amazing.

  21. newrouter says:

    As the “regime party,” the Democrats are in the more vulnerable position because they have built their coalition around public spending, public debt, and publicly guaranteed credit, all sources of funds that appear to be reaching their limits. The end game for the New Deal system, and for the Democrats as our “regime party,” will arrive when those limits are reached or passed.

    This point will arrive fairly soon for the following reasons: (1) unsustainable debt; (2) public promises that cannot be fulfilled; (3) stagnation and slow growth; and (4) political paralysis. The last point is important because it means that the parties will fail to agree on any preemptive solutions to the above problems until they reach a point of crisis.

    Despite all this, President Obama is unshaken in his presumption that he is a herald of a new era, a revolutionary on the models of Jefferson, Lincoln, and FDR. But is it possible that he will instead turn out to be something much different, a modern day Adams, Buchanan, or Hoover—that is, the last representative of a disintegrating order? Such a denouement is not only possible but, in view of our situation, more and more likely.

    – …..Anyone…..Bueller?

  25. newrouter says:

    No legislature or regulatory agency would enact sweeping rules that create such economic chaos, shutter entire industries, and cause thousands of people to lose their jobs. That is because the legislative and executive branches are directly accountable to the people through elections, and its members know they would be removed swiftly from office were they to enact such rules. In contrast, in order to preserve the vitally important principle of judicial independence, we are not politically accountable. However, because of our lack of public accountability, our job is constitutionally confined to interpreting laws, not creating them out of whole cloth. Unfortunately, I believe the record is clear that our court has strayed with lamentable frequency from its constitutionally limited role (as illustrated supra) when it comes to construing environmental law. When we do so, I fear that we undermine public support for the independence of the judiciary, and cause many to despair of the promise of the rule of law.

    – The Left is losing its edge. There’s no forged MS word documents, no trips by mysterious figures to print shops/rodeos in Texas, or surrupticious contacts with CBS/MSNBC producers and the DNC.

    – The once proud Progressive slander apperachik is just a shadow of the razor sharp Marxist character assassination machine it once was.

    – If this is the best they can do, then yes, they should be ashamed

  34. BigBangHunter says:

    – newrouter, at best one needs to view anything wrotten about the WH in the next few months with a healthy dose of skepticism.

    – Bummblefuck is already running the race with one lead boot in the form of the ongoing economic disaster we face. Massive embarrassments focxised on things like Fannie/Fredie/Franks and F&F/Black Panthers/Holder could be the boot on the other foot, impossible to overcome with an anxious and hard pressed electorate.

    – On the one hand the Reps hold all the cards in Congressional hearings, and on the other the GOP election commottees have kept their powder dry in the Romney campaign so far, waiting for the right timing to begin the onslaught.

    – Obama’s team is in full damage control so maybe holder has been choosen to take one for the team and thiis is planted newsprop to distance the WH from the crimes of DoJ.

    – Signs like Frank’s retirement is another possible flag that various “perp’s” are being innoculated in advance of the storm the Left knows is coming.

    – Finally, planting things like this in the foreign press is what you do when you want somethimng to look believable, and you realize that the American media has essentially lost all credibility with its citizenry.

    – Admitedly not a positive reason, but like so many aspects of this election, where we’re left with voting against something instead of for something else, it is a reason.

  50. George Orwell says:

    When you have lost the faith of arid barren lefty bint Maureen O’Dowd–

    –you haven’t lost much.

    Also, screw you Mittens, and the Leavitt-loves-Obamacare horse you’re riding in on. I guess he really does want to run as Obama Lite after all.

  51. George Orwell says:

    Nota bene from Dale’s link:

    “The exchanges are not only a matter of principle for Leavitt — they’re also a cash cow. The size of his firm, Leavitt Partners, doubled in the year after the bill was signed as they won contracts to help states set up the exchanges funded by the legislation.”

    Vulture technocracy, powered by Team GOP.

  52. George Orwell says:

    Yet again at Dale’s link:

    On the day Obamacare was passed, Leavitt Partners weighed in: “There are tremendous opportunities for innovators in the market to shape how the massive legislation is implemented.” And they set about doing so, building a team to profit from the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in grants sent to states to set up these exchanges. It’s a living – but the fact that Leavitt and his allies failed to note their financial stake in implementation in any of the aforementioned speeches or columns was a tendency which attracted the criticism of many in the health policy space.

    This is exactly why the GOP cannot be trusted, and especially Romney. He is no stranger to complex financial deals, and utterly indifferent to whether or not it’s private money or money extracted by force from citizens at the point of a tax collector’s shotgun. Remember that video released a few months ago of Romney at a presentation, preening and boasting about how successful he was at wringing extra tens of millions out of the federal government, from completely unrelated federal departments, in order to fund the Olympics?

    I hope all the cheerleaders at certain websites are enjoying the taste of Romney’s urine down their backs. It’s just a gentle June rainfall.

  53. sdferr says:

    Let’s suppose UW Bands stands for the U of Wisconsin.

  54. Dale Price says:

    For me, the worst part was Leavitt’s celebration of the power given to HHS. I suppose one could make a market-y argument for exchanges (though Cato disagrees with white heat), but there’s no way to spin the comments about the authority of the Secretary.

  55. George Orwell says:

Yet when the idea is individual states pointing a gun at you to tell you how to spend your money or run your business, it’s Market-Based Reform, yay!

  56. George Orwell says:

    Remember, this is the plan Romney’s lawn jockey Leavitt is supporting while making money off the deal:

    http://bit.ly/L7g0Xr

    Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kan., this past year offered a 12-month plan that cost students $445, while capping payouts at $10,000. For the 2012-13 academic year, the Obama administration said the payout cap must be at least $100,000. Bethany said students would have had to pay more than $2,000 to get that new level of coverage. “We decided not to offer coverage for our students next year given the proposed increase in premium,” said Bob Schmoll, Bethany’s vice president for finance.

    City to host gathering of progressives
    Netroots Nation expects to attract nearly 3,000 attendees
    By KAREN LEE ZINER JOURNAL STAFF WRITER
    PROVIDENCE — In a coup for Providence, nearly 3,000 progressive bloggers, grassroots and union activists, online organizers, journalists and more are gathering here this week for the seventh annual Netroots Nation convention.

    The Thursday-through-Sunday event at the Rhode Island Convention Center is bringing top-drawer speakers and a broad agenda, ranging from “the 2012 War on Women,” foreclosure fraud and climate change, to labor issues, the death penalty and strategies for effecting political change –– including in this year’s election.

    The convention, billed as the country’s largest progressive gathering, spells big bucks and a high profile.

    Attendees will spend a projected $3.5 million to $4 million for the convention center, hotels, dining, shopping and so on. Add to that the national and international buzz Providence will get through the blogosphere and media attention.

    Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman will anchor a keynote address. Other featured participants include New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman; Elizabeth Warren, the Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate; Van Jones, founding president of “Rebuild the Dream”; Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood of America; AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka; Ai-jen Poo, director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance; the full Rhode Island congressional delegation; and a host of other political representatives, from the local to national level.

    Yes, States can do more things under the police power than the Federal government can. But the question of whether they should seems to have escaped Mittenmike entirely.

    Maybe it should be called “Severe Federalism,” and Mitt’s braintrust the “Severe Federalist Society.”

  68. George Orwell says:

    Yes, States can do more things under the police power than the Federal government can. But the question of whether they should seems to have escaped Mittenmike entirely.

    Yep. Hey, anyone interested in, you know… liberty… should not consider Federalism some kind of god upon an altar. I myself don’t care whether the tyranny lives in the District of Columbia or Sacramento. A tyranny is a tyranny, soft or hard, distant or local.

    Furthermore, scanning about I see few right-leaning blogs are talking about this Leavitt matter. Just sweep it under the rug. Put on your skirts and wave those pom-poms, it’s Yay Team Mittens! Only Ben Domenech at Red State and Drew M. at Ace delves into it at length. Commenters at AOS are mostly saying “shut up, get in line.”

    At least I won’t have to vote Romney in Clownifornia, as my vote here is meaningless.

  69. Dale Price says:

    Commenters at AOS are mostly saying “shut up, get in line.”

    Par for the course, then? At least it was during the primaries. The ‘Bots passing out their dixie cups full of that sweet, sweet -mandatory- kool-aid soured me on the joint. At least the comments boxes–I still go there for the posts.

  70. George Orwell says:

    I soured the same way on AOS and haven’t looked back; I used to comment there a great deal but why write anything for a set of robots or people with petty personal scores to settle?

    I have been less than sympathetic to Jeff’s position that he won’t be voting for the GOP, but stuff like this Leavitt business makes me begin to wonder about my view. It never seems to matter in the larger picture who wins. The government always swells in size and scope, and it will under Mittens as well. Mark my words. The real tyranny here does not emanate directly from the WH or Congress, but from the massive bureaucracies they enable and create. These never shrink meaningfully. And now we see Mittsy’s choice for potential chief of staff was HHS director under Big Government Bush 43, no enemy to bureaucracy or the growth of Leviathan. And a huge fan of Obamacare… but not even Hot Air is reporting this story.

    This isn’t a republic any longer, it’s a vast patchwork of unelected bureaucrats issuing garbled and contradictory orders to every corner of the kingdom, like the Castle in Kafka’s novel.

  82. George Orwell says:

    Yeah, but Rush is being naïve about Leavitt. He says Leavitt’s position is not a policy position. Bullcrap. Power is policy on this level, and Leavitt’s place as a potential chief of staff is incredibly powerful.

    Remember, Sununu (another current Mittens surrogate) was Bush 41’s chief of staff, and he takes personal credit for making Bush 41 pick Souter for the Supreme Court. This was reported in the New York Times at the time of the appointment.

    I heard him last night with George Noory, and he never mentioned the baby thing at all.

    Huh.

    Glenn and company had the audio this morning, and goofed on it repeatedly. Funny stuff, especially since Jones was dead serious addressing his fellow kooks about the discovery.

    – Noory. and his fellow C2C hosts have spent one too many nights on the mother-ship bridge.

    – Someone with a working brain cell needs to point out to him that when the conspirator count gets up to 95% of a sitting leadership (i.e Vatican ect.) its not a conspiracy anymore, its policy.

    – But hey, George and his homies of the Lost Alien Crop Circle Temple are always good for a few chuckles on a slow night.

    George and his homies of the Lost Alien Crop Circle Temple

    Couple nights ago he had on an economist touting his book on how the Global Warmongers and other Malthusians use their panic scenarios to put the masses under control and he was 100% accurate and on-the-spot. Not one reference to the tin-foil-hat crowd: all stuff you could just as easily hear on Hewitt.

    And we might have, but I can’t remember the dude’s/books name.

    So, stopped clock and stuff. The rest is just entertainment.

    – Yes, well I admit at one time they almost had me believing until I caught an Illuminati skewing the thermostat setting on my Mr. Coffee maker.

    White House Insider, Part 2 is up:

    [snip]

    UM: I need to your to expand on the Drone thing – Obama’s love of using the drones. You say you “got the goods” – your words. What do you mean?

    WHI: It’s what has been brewin’ for well over a year now…it’s causing all kinds of hell between the administration…the military…infighting and concern among the staff…even Jarrett don’t have a handle on all of it. Even she is not entirely comfortable with how the president has sunk his teeth into the drones…the kill list. She’s not bothered by their use specifically…she’s more…I would guess she’s more worried over the political implications of Obama’s obsession…that eventually enough people will stand together and say ENOUGH. She can’t afford to have that happen too soon…the re-election makes them all vulnerable…the plans…the obligations to others…America can still stop them in 2012 and she understands that. So having Obama so oddly focused…not just focused…he gets excited…visually…the guy gets off on it and he ain’t even hiding that fact anymore. And some are repulsed by it. They’ve done video reviews you know…of the missions. The drones. The kills.

    UM: The president you mean? He watches videos of the drone attacks?

    WHI: Yeah – like it was…like it was porn. I can’t emphasize…I don’t think I’m painting a clear enough picture here for you of how this thing has people really freaking out inside the administration. It’s good on one hand because it’s got more of them willing to talk…but…the fact it’s gotten this bad…these drones…an American president who has the video sent up to his personal study so he can watch them over and over again…like I said – sh-t ain’t right. And more and more people are figuring that out – and that is what has Jarrett concerned. But even she…Obama won’t listen to her on this one. Those drones are the one thing he really feels he has control over…all the rest…he’s been told what to say and where to go…when to wake…when to sleep…but the drones. The drones are all his – and he ain’t given those up. For nobody.

    UM: So Jarrett is against the use of drones?

    Via Ace a pretty interesting review of how the Prog apologists appear to be preparing the Big O for his spot under the bus. No unit is more important than the Agenda.

    – When the clock strikes midnight on December 22, it will mark a brand new opportunity for some enterprising self-proclaimed expert from some back water burg in Catchatah bend to start the next round of end times predictions.

    – His theory will probably point out that instead pf the Myan calander, the Amageddon date should have been dirived from the little calander on the Mets baseball schedule for 2013, since 13 is exactly 7 less than 20, and everyone knows those are paranormal numbers.

    – And hey, if all of us deniers are wrong, and fire and brimstone does rain down on us all at the appointed hour, well then as Clint said in one of his movies:

    “…But then that doesn’t really matter now, does it.”
