President Obama has released his first 2012 reelection campaign ad, and it’s a doozy, full of sexy numbers that would have you believe that Obama has figured out a way to make clean energy economically viable. The reality, however, is that Obama’s statistics grossly distort the truth, and the National Republic Trust Political Action Committee has debuted its rebuttal.
Citing a Brookings Institution study, Obama’s ad implies that he created 2.7 million clean energy jobs, and that the clean energy sector is growing rapidly. Investor’s Business Daily reveals the dishonesty here: those 2.7 million jobs already existed, and the quoted Brookings report makes it perfectly clear that the clean energy sector is growing more slowly (3.4% annually) than the national economy (4.2% annually).

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Obama was FOS, is FOS and will remain FOS!
We know that whenever his mouth is open, lies tumble out. He wouldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it. But there are so many people who simply believe him. “If the POTUS said it, it must be true.” The Republican candidate (Go Newt!) absolutely must offer an immediate rebuttal to his lies. Use facts and figures, not rhetoric. Pull back the curtain so that more and more people see BHO for who he really is.
The man is a LIAR.
“Regardless of clean energy’s economic viability, no elected official should get away with misleading taxpayers and voters to this degree.”
Not to mention misleading taxpayers, voters and the entire world’s population by exaggerating clean energy’s economic viability.

This “clean energy” business was all about funneling taxpayer money to bogus green companies who would then turn around and contribute this same taxpayer money to Obama and other Democrats. This is along the vein of creating a society dependent upon welfare, social security, medicare, medicaid and other programs who will consistently vote democrat to keep the money flowing into their pockets! Problem is that we are approaching the 50% point. This CANNOT CONTINUE!!!
Truer words!...have never been spoken, etc.
