WAKARUSA, Ind.—
President Barack Obama brought his latest prescription for recovery Wednesday to this economically ravaged region of northern Indiana, promising to “unleash prosperity for everybody, not just some.”
Obama announced that the federal government will distribute $2.4 billion in 48 taxpayer grants to create electric cars and recreational vehicles. The grants will be divided among 25 states.
Afterward, the president talked with Chuck Todd, NBC’s political director and chief White House correspondent, who relayed questions submitted by msnbc.com readers.
During his address at the old Monaco RV plant here — where 1,400 people were laid off as the company went through a bankruptcy process that was completed in March — Obama said that “for too long, we failed to invest in this kind of innovative work, even as countries like China and Japan were racing ahead.”
Navistar International Corp., which bought the plant this spring, will get $39.2 million to develop 400 advanced electric delivery trucks with a 100-mile range.
Seven of the 48 projects unveiled today will be in Indiana, Obama said — part of what he called “the largest investment in this kind of technology in American history.” Manufacturers in the area say this could help put people back to work in a part of the state where unemployment has neared 20 percent.

Obama is a lying sack of crap.
Hope and change.
—U.S. President Barack Obama, 2008
This guy feeds the public BS and they eat it like cotton candy.
Stupid isn’t it? The Joker thinks we like Kenyans, no own calculator or do math.
to this administration EVERYTHING is about class warfare.
STOP ALREADY.
There. FLAG ME.
SO, we are putting all of these tiny, little electric cars on the road while destroying cars with gas driven engines.
Wonder what will happen when electricity becomes so expensive that people can’t afford to charge their electric cars.
Wonder what happens if there is no electricity to charge them.
The economy of the USA will die on the spot,
and we can call ourselves North Korea.
Prosperity for everybody, not just for people who work!
We’ll be a lot like Kenya before long. Grass huts and foraging with spears.......
What crap! With that crap.... I can have the largest most colorfull crop of roses and Asicatic lilys, carns too!
“unleash prosperity for everybody, not just some.”
And the higest taxes per capita in the History of the US of A!
What ever comes out of his mouth is pure fertilizer. Unadulterated.
I do not think he ever studied economics. Perhaps accounting to the point of balancing a chequebook but definitely not economics....
Pure empty propaganda platitudes for pandering by the pimp daddy.
This guy feeds the public BS and they eat it like cotton candy.

His ‘culties’ eat it like flies eat....well, you know. Just supply them with the ‘daily talking points’ like programming a robot to speak....and ‘Bob’s your uncle’.
I like to refer to him as a steaming pile of excrement. Flag me, -8bama.
These things don't turn out well.
Obama is taking away the American dream. He is destroying our cars forcing us to drive deathtraps; he is destroying our ability for food; let them starve and he is destroying our ability to make a living free of government; nanny government with dictator.
This is what his voters voted for. I wonder if they realize what they did?
Redistribution is right on schedule, it seems.
Impeach this sorry excuse for a human being. (Yo, flaggers, here’s another one.)
Isn’t that special.
And how is this boondoggle going to be energized?
We don’t have enough power generation and the idiots in Congress won’t allow more to be built.
I hate, hate, hate this administration.
They are a bunch of lunatic, greedy, power mad freaks.
I think his voters thought he was going to give them the American dream free of charge. Rots of Ruck on that one. They just sold themselves and the rest of us down the river.
Of course, he is still telling them that.
To paraphrase:
From each according to prosperity, to each according to need.
This idea seems familiar, I just can't remember where I've heard it before.
