I have bad news for ya, this attempt to attack the President only makes you look Partisan and more interested in political attacks than the future of Ameican and our energy needs.
Load of the day.

Fascism for Obama's pals, socialism for the serfs.
So Socialism but with Corporatism, that makes absolutely no sense. Don't bother to explain or spin, not interesting in your explanation.

The two are far from mutually exclusive, and you can customize them depending on what income level you're at.

Deflection and excuse is strong in this thread. Apparently it's fine to funnel millions of federal dollars into good intentions. This is the same stuff that Bush was raked over the coals for, but it's OK when Obama does it, apparently. The 'green' excuse is just a smokescreen to hide the corruption that's in plain sight.

At least when federal money ends up in the oil sector, it helps fund exploration and employs a lot of people on stuff we're using right now. Renewable energy technology is still far too inefficient to roll out on a large scale, and will never replace more substantial power sources.

Meanwhile, Democrats are handing out billions of dollars into green energy companies they or their friends and family are financially vested into and profit directly from, but nobody other than conservative news outlets are willing to expose this outright theft of taxpayer dollars that's flowing into the pockets of the Democrats in power.

Since there wasn't a single one in your post, I'm not sure how you arrived at that conclusion
