"What Don't You Know?"

Have you ever heard the term “throwing good money after bad”?: it means wasting your money on a failed enterprise or project. I had a friend who liked to restore old cars, and believe me, this is an expensive hobby. If you ever decide to take it up, remember this: you will never recoup what you spent on your initial investment, unless you get lucky and find a car for almost nothing. Parts, labor and aggravation are the partners which will accompany you throughout your restoration. There will be times when you may have to abandon your project because certain parts are simply non-existent. If you are spending your own money, you can throw it away as you please; just don’t ask for investors to give you money to toss away along with yours.

We are now over three years into Barack Obama’s “green initiative”, where quite a bit of American taxpayer’s money has been invested. This initiative was supposed to open the door to an economic recovery, creating jobs and helping to eliminate dependence on foreign energy sources. This was supposed to be Barack Obama’s “magic bullet” to restore America.

Every time I look into the “green initiative”, I get another surprise. I thought I would see just how much failure we are putting up with from Mr. Obama’s “magic bullet”.

SOLYNDRA: 528 MILLION DOLLARS

ENER1: 118 MILLION DOLLARS

BEACON POWER CORP.: 43 MILLION DOLLARS

A 123: 249 MILLION DOLLARS

OLSEN CROP SERVICE& AQUSITION CO.: 10 MILLION DOLLARS

RASER TECHNOLOGY: 33 MILLION DOLLARS

SPECTRAWATT: 500,000 DOLLARS

MOUNTAIN PLAZA INC.: 424,000 DOLLARS

These figures add up to $981,924,000!! Now I must say this: this isn’t all there is. I got tired researching this horrendous waste of taxpayer’s money, as the failed programs seem bottomless! This is Barack Obama’s cure for America’s problems! The worst part of all of this is that we have come to expect this with very little complaint from most of the American Media. These types of dismal failures are hardly a footnote on most of our news providers. Aren’t reporters supposed to keep our leaders accountable for their actions? How can a continued parade of failure go on with little or no investigation from our “fifth estate”? Outside of FOXNEWS, there is virtually no coverage of the mistakes of this current administration. The media should be acting as the public’s advocate when we are having continued failure from our leadership. They should not be the “excuse maker” for inept policies. What is this hold that Barack Obama seems to have over most of the American Media? Had any other president had this record of continued ineptitude, he would have been quickly castigated by the press. Is it possible, that the American press is so afraid of being cast as racist, that they will ignore anything questionable from the Obama Administration?

America has, perhaps, the most important election in our history coming this November. It is the duty of the American Media to tell EVERYTHING that is available about both candidates and INCUMBENTS. As you have read this, other than SOLYNDRA, how many other names did you recognize? What other information have you been denied? Do you want four more years of ignorance of fact from the media? Find out as much as you can before you cast that ballot in November, even if you must do it on your own!
