The Quarter Million Dollar Car

 That no one wants...


Image from Sad Hill News.
Each Chevy Volt sold thus far may have as much as $250,000 in state and federal dollars in incentives behind it – a total of $3 billion altogether, according to an analysis by James Hohman, assistant director of fiscal policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.
6200 of these gems have been sold at last count.

Experts And Pelosi's Partners

This woman is just shameless...


Her experts?
In May 2010, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi took to a podium in the Capitol to introduce a half-dozen economic experts she had convened for a meeting on how to jump-start the economy. The group had met for several hours with top Democratic leaders, and Pelosi invited them to speak publicly on their perspectives on economic growth.
What Pelosi did not mention is that one of the men in the group was her son’s boss and a partner with her husband in more than a half-dozen investments, including one that generated more than $100,000 in income for the Speaker’s family last year.
It was the fourth time since 2007 that Pelosi had invited San Francisco investment banker William Hambrecht to be part of an economic policy forum on the Hill and the third time she appeared at a podium with him to speak to reporters. At none of those events did the then-Speaker reveal her financial ties to Hambrecht, and House rules did not require her to do so.
The Pelosi family seems to fair pretty well with all her inside connections.
The swamp needs drained of her and her ilk.

Is Holder's Time Up?

When all else fails, turn over the race card.


But Mr. Holder contended that many of his other critics — not only elected Republicans but also a broader universe of conservative commentators and bloggers — were instead playing “Washington gotcha” games, portraying them as frequently “conflating things, conveniently leaving some stuff out, construing things to make it seem not quite what it was” to paint him and other department figures in the worst possible light.
Of that group of critics, Mr. Holder said he believed that a few — the “more extreme segment” — were motivated by animus against Mr. Obama and that he served as a stand-in for him. “This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him,” he said, “both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American.”
The family (and most of America) of Brian Terry don't give a rats ass about the race of Mr. Holder.
We do care that laws were broken, Holder knew it, allowed it, lied to a Congressional Committee about it, and is now covering it up!
“We now believe that, if it can be shown that laws were broken, then all those responsible for Fast and Furious should be held criminally liable.”
Eric Holder is responsible! Its not our state of mind...
Now the question is...Is Holder becoming a liability to Obama?
Of course he is a liability, this makes Watergate look like the bungled burglary it was. The cover up is what brought down a sitting President, and it should this time too!
What about Brian Terry Mr. Holder?
