Why Obama goes out of his way to stymie the economy and support dependency on foreign oil blows my mind.

How's the betting that he OKs it a couple of months before the midterms?

Why Obama goes out of his way to stymie the economy and support dependency on foreign oil blows my mind.

To the Marxist Kenyan it makes perfect sense and fits right in with his radical anticolonialist rage against American capitalism and Western dominance.

Because he said he was going to stop giving money to evil nations and make us energy independent...so he has to do the opposite.

Pretty simple actually, he's a liberal.

Green waste.

A wind turbine at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in St. Cloud, Minnesota paid for with $2.3 million in federal stimulus funds has been "inoperable" for one and half years. The "600-kilowatt wind turbine--some 245 foot tall--stands... frozen" and no one is even trying to fix it.

In the December 2009 buildup to the allotment of stimulus money for the construction of the St. Cloud turbine, an "administration document" outlined how "agencies... throughout the federal government... [were] already leading by example toward building a clean energy economy."

Three and a half years later, St. Cloud-based VA public affairs officer Barry Venable said, "The St. Cloud VA is a hospital, and our focus in on [the] patients and we like to think we treat them our veterans very well here. We are embarrassed that this turbine does not operate as advertised."
