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...

Just as I predicted. The stimulus money will operate as a slush fund for the Democrats hidden in offshore accounts.

gotta love government mandates. It’s like they think that saying “it will be invented” is the same thing as actually inventing it. “if I can think it you can do it...”

There are ads running here on our local talk radio show (the Mark Steyn, in for Rush, show) about needing to fund projects to reduce our reliance on foreign oil. One is Wesley Clark wanting COOL notices on oil, and the other is that Evan Bayh supports Indiana’s green energy industries. Neither proposes more development of our own resources as part of the solution....

Where is the Stimulus, Mr. Obama?
Aier.org, 8/24/2009, By Brian Murphy
FR Posted by papapete

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, commonly referred to as the “stimulus bill,” was intended to jump-start the economy in the short term and fund long-term investments. Quick funding of state-based projects to fight the recession was a major rationale for expediting the law's passage. However, six months have passed and little of that money has been delivered.

States with large per capita allocations probably expected a quick arrival of their recession-fighting funds. The state-by-state disbursement data tells a different story. When it comes to money actually paid out, many states that were promised less are getting the most. By the time the recovery money is fully paid, states with the largest total allocations will obviously be tops in terms of money received. But disbursement will be completed some time from now, perhaps even after the current recession has abated. (Excerpt) Read more at aier.org ...

============================================

OBAMA'S MODUS OPERANDI Obama hid $14.5 Billion stimulus in crooked NJ. According to investigative news organs, there is no trace of the money being allocated. The NJ governor is an ex-Goldman Sachs operator....and is practiced on how to loot and pillage piles of money for personal profit. Both Obama and Biden (who Obama put in charge of the stimulus zillions) have visited NJ.

FREEPER ALERT Keep an eye out in states and districts of legislators pushing ObamaCare...... for "announcements" of stimulus, or other federal monies. These might be payoffs-----for shoving ObamaCare down our throats.

=================================

Obama appoints Biden to handle stimulus trillions
American Spectator | 6.8.09 | By Philip Klein
FR Posted by Behind Liberal Lines

Vice President Joe Biden said it was “above his pay grade” to explain in detail the methodology the White House uses to estimate the number of jobs created or saved by the trillion dollar stimulus legislation, but stressed that there had been no “reasonable” challenges to the estimates. Biden said, “My background is foreign policy and the constitution. “ (Excerpt) more at spectator.org ...

REFERENCE Fraudster had links to fund run by Bidens
Reuters on Yahoo | 2/23/09 | BY Ajay Kamalakaran
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...

(Reuters) – A fund of hedge funds run by two members of VP Joe Biden's family was marketed exclusively by firms controlled by Texas financier Allen Stanford, charged by regulators with an $8 billion fraud, the Wall Street Journal said.

The Bidens $50 million fund was jointly branded between the Bidens' Paradigm Global Advisors LLC and a Stanford Financial Group entity, and was known as the Paradigm Stanford Capital Management Core Alternative Fund, the paper said. Stanford-related companies marketed the fund to investors and also invested about $2.7 million of their own money in the fund, the paper said, citing a lawyer for Paradigm.

Paradigm Global Advisors is owned through a holding company by the vice president's son, Hunter, and Joe Biden's brother, James, according to the paper. Paradigm's attorney, Marc LoPresti, who represents Hunter Biden and James Biden, as well as Paradigm, told the paper he did not know which Stanford entity invested the roughly $2.7 million. He told the paper the Bidens NEVER met or communicated with Stanford.

===================================

And then he said........."duh."

There don’t you feel better now? (/snicker)
