BREAKING SCANDAL: Obama Caught Sending Stimulus Money Offshore

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...

I wonder just how much damage this idiot traitor will do before he is kicked out of the White House and thrown in jail where he belongs.

He has already done and said enough to merit being tried for treason far as I am concerned.

The California mandate for low power HDTV sets is sending all the HDTV business to Samsung in Korea too.

Gotta make Spain’s “green jobs” failure LOOK like it works.

A kid who has worked at Dairy Queen for 3 years has more business experience than the community organizer.

Yeah, much more...

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

It should be obvious by now that this “stimulus” was never intended to create American jobs, in spite of Pelosi chanting “jobs, jobs, jobs.”

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Just zapped this to Drudge. We’ll see if he bites.

“anybody else got any bright ideas?”

Call, email, fax your local talk show hosts. Get it “in the air.”

[TheThinker]

The Obama presidency is a failure and nothing but a crooked scheme to enrich Obama’s Leftist friends around the globe while simultaneously weakening the financial strength and sovereignty of the United States.

Yeah I noticed that name when I was looking the companies up yesterday.
