BREAKING SCANDAL: Obama Caught Sending Stimulus Money Offshore
IsraPundit ^ | 9/2/09 | Bill Levinson

Posted on 09/02/2009 1:21:41 PM PDT by Winged Hussar

Barack Obama said the Waxman-Markey carbon tax would help create "green energy" jobs in the U.S. He is now using taxpayer dollars to fund jobs in Spain.

Barack Obama sold the Waxman-Markey "American Clean Energy and Security Act" to Congress and the American people by saying that investment in so-called "green energy" would create millions of high-wage American manufacturing jobs. We received an E-mail from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (nonpartisan professional organization) that exposed Barack Obama as a blatant prevaricator who is shamelessly using our tax dollars to create jobs not in the United States but in foreign countries. We wonder what rank and file union members--not union bosses who, to paraphrase Henry Ford, have never worked in a shop and whose ambition is to never have to work in a shop, but blue collar workers who actually put in eight hours of honest work every day--will do to the Democratic Party when they discover this. We encourage our readers to circulate this article as widely as possible so they will find out. From the September 2 2009 Wall Street Journal, "U.S. Doles Out Grants for Energy Projects,"

    But while the wind farms and solar installations are in the U.S., the profits from these projects are flowing mainly to European companies and developers owned by private-equity investors. Iberdrola SA, the Spanish wind-power giant, was awarded $294 million for five projects. Spokesman Keith Grant said the grants are "crucial to pushing ahead" with U.S. wind projects.
Right, Barry, do you want to tell us again how you are going to create millions of "green energy" jobs for American workers? We don't see how giving $294 million to Iberdrola SA will create even one manufacturing job for American workers...

Stimulus money required American products and workers.

What would surprise me more if Obama was not sending America’s money to some offshore trust for he and the misses.

Well, Spain has become a socialist country and Obama has found a kindred spirit in Zaragoza. (sp?)

General Motors got 105 million in stimulus funds to help construct a plant to make batteries for the Chevy Volt.

The plant is being built in South Korea.

Since Obama took office several large local banks (compass and guarantee) have been purchased by BBVA a Spanish banking group.

I have been wondering recently if BBVA has been buying these banks with the bailout money that the government wont admit who it gave it to.

The jobs in Spain come mainly from money off the Obama plane.

Borders are such a 20th century concept. We are beyond that now. We must accept that all people are citizens of the planet. Don’t you want to help your fellow citizens in Spain?

"In order to make wind power economical, it requires a tax subsidy," said Jim Spencer, chief executive of EverPower

OK, so those who receive power from these wind farms effectively pay for it twice. How is that economical?

American voters must make it clear to their Members of Congress that, unless they distance themselves from this individual, there will probably not be a single Democrat left in the House of Representatives (except for the handful who voted against Waxman-Markey) after November 2010.

Yes, that is what has to happen.
