Forget Bain — Obama’s Public-Equity Record is the Real Scandal | Vision to America

Forget Bain — Obama’s Public-Equity Record is the Real Scandal





Despite a growing backlash from his fellow Democrats, President Obama has doubled down on his attacks on Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital. But the strategy could backfire in ways Obama did not anticipate. After all, if Romney’s record in private equity is fair game, then so is Obama’s record in public equity — and that record is not pretty.
Since taking office, Obama has invested billions of taxpayer dollars in private businesses, including as part of his stimulus spending bill. Many of those investments have turned out to be unmitigated disasters — leaving in their wake bankruptcies, layoffs, criminal investigations and taxpayers on the hook for billions. Consider just a few examples of Obama’s public equity failures:
● Raser Technologies. In 2010, the Obama administration gave Raser a $33 million taxpayer-funded grant to build a power plant in Beaver Creek, Utah. According to the Wall Street Journal, after burning through our tax dollars, the company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2012. The plant now has fewer than 10 employees, and Raser owes $1.5 million in back taxes.
● ECOtality. The Obama administration gave ECOtality $126.2 million in taxpayer money in 2009 for, among other things, the installation of 14,000 electric car chargers in five states. Obama even hosted the company’s president, Don Karner, in the first lady’s box during the 2010 State of the Union address as an example of a stimulus success story. According to ECOtality’s own SEC filings, the company has since incurred more than $45 million in losses and has told the federal government, “We may not achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future.”

Fitzgerald To Step Down As U.S. Attorney


Politicians across Chicago are breathing sighs of relief with news that Patrick Fitzgerald is stepping down as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, effective June 30.
Fitzgerald leaves as the longest serving U.S. prosecutor in Chicago. He was appointed Sept. 1, 2001 and has been very busy since. Fitzgerald's office led successful prosecutions against former Illinois Governors George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich; former Chicago Sun-Times owner Conrad Black; several close aides to former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley in the Hired Truck Scandal, an investigation into powerful trucking companies who rigged a system intended to hire companies owned by minorities and women for city work; and former Chicago Police Lt. and alleged torturer Jon Burge.
Besides prosecuting Blagojevich, Fitzgerald is best known on a national level for his appointment as special counsel and his prosecution and conviction of former Vice President Dick Cheney aide Scooter Libby for his involvement with the Valerie Plame affair, where the late columnist Robert Novak revealed Plame to be a covert CIA operative in 2003. Libby was convicted on four of five counts of perjury and obstruction of justice.
Fitzgerald said in a statement to media:
“When I was selected for this position in 2001, I said that it was one of the greatest opportunities that one could ever hope for, and I believe that even more now after having the privilege of working alongside hundreds of dedicated prosecutors and agents. I have tried not to get in their way. I extend my deepest appreciation to the attorneys and staff for their determined commitment to public service. This was a great office when I arrived, and I have no doubt that it will continue to be a great office.”

Scooter Obama Outs Navy SEAL Team 6 Leader For Movie

 Posted 
National Security: New documents obtained by a watchdog group show our commander in chief gave the name of a Navy Seal Team 6 commander to the makers of a movie about Osama bin Laden. Valerie Plame, call your office.
Those documents, recently obtained by Judicial Watch, reveal that the Obama administration not only spiked the football and did an end-zone dance after the Navy SEALs dispatched bin Laden from his Club Pakistan abode, but was also willing to expose to the other side our playbook and the name of a SEAL commander.
"These documents, which took nine months and a federal lawsuit to disgorge from the Obama administration, show that politically connected filmmakers were given extraordinary and secret access to bin Laden raid information, including the identity of a SEAL Team 6 leader," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
"It is both ironic and hypocritical," Fitton noted, "that the Obama administration stonewalled Judicial Watch's pursuit of the bin Laden death photos, citing national security concerns, yet seemed willing to share intimate details regarding the raid to help Hollywood filmmakers release a movie 'perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost' (as described by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd) to the Obama campaign."
It was a Dowd column that told us of a Sony-produced movie about the raid being put together by the same pair that brought us the Oscar-winning "The Hurt Locker" — screenwriter Mark Boal and director Kathryn Bigelow.
Disclosing the name of a Navy SEAL Team 6 commander to them under any circumstances and offering his services as a consultant is unconscionable.
A July 14, 2011, meeting transcript reveals that the Defense Department provided the filmmakers with the identity of a "planner, SEAL Team 6 Operator and Commander." (The name is blacked out in the document.) In proposing the arrangement, Michael Vickers, under secretary of defense for intelligence, said: "The only thing we ask is that you not reveal his name in any way as a consultant because ... he shouldn't be talking out of school."
Just who, Mr. Vickers, is talking out of school?
As soon as the dust cleared, your boss, President Obama, was planning the raid's exploitation as a key part of his re-election strategy. The world should not have known the Navy SEALs even took part in the operation, much less which team it was.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said the documents left him "even more concerned about the possible exposure of classified information to these filmmakers, who as far as I know do not possess security clearances."


Bigelow and Boal were also allowed to tour "the Vault," a CIA building where tactical planning for the raid took place, an internal CIA email shows.
"The email messages indicate that the filmmakers were allowed an unprecedented visit to a classified facility so secret that its name is redacted in the released email," King said. "If this facility is so secret that the name cannot even be seen by the public, then why in the world would the Obama administration allow filmmakers to tour it?"
Remember the alleged outing of the already known CIA officer and desk jockey Valerie Plame? We were told then that the Vanity Fair cover girl's 15 minutes of fame jeopardized our national security even if everybody already knew who she was.
"Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, went to jail because his memory of events and who said what to whom regarding Plame differed from the recollections of others, particularly news reporters. Libby never gave tours of CIA secret facilities or disclosed means and methods about how we get the bad guys.
So what fate should befall Commander in Chief Obama, the former community organizer who exploits the accomplishments of real life-risking heroes?

President Obama Won’t Be Returning His Donations From Bain Capital

Though the Obama campaign has repeatedly attacked Mitt Romney for his career at Bain Capital, President Obama still accepted $7,500 in campaign contributions from three Bain executives. His campaign press secretary, Ben LaBolt told The Politicker the president has no intention of giving the money back.
“No one aside from Mitt Romney is running for President highlighting their tenure as a corporate buyout specialist as one of job creation, when in fact, his goal was profit maximization,” said Mr. LaBolt.  ”The President has support from business leaders across industries who have seen him pull the economy back from the brink of another depression, manufacturing and the auto industry revived, and support his agenda to build an economy that lasts where America outinnovates and outeducates the rest of the world and economic security for the middle class is restored.”
On Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden defended the attacks on Mr. Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital. Though he insisted he wasn’t “criticizing private equity firms,” Mr. Biden said there were many examples of Mr. Romney and his Bain colleagues causing tremendous harm.
“You hear all these stories about his partners buying companies … where they load up with a tremendous amount of debt. The companies go under, everybody loses their job, the community is devastated, but they make money,” said Mr. Biden. “They make money even when a company goes bankrupt, when workers lose their jobs.”
Earlier in the week, President Obama described Bain and other private equity firms as a “healthy part of the free market” filled with many  ”folks who do good work.” However, he also said the priority of private equity companies is to “maximize profits,” which is “not always going to be good for businesses or communities or workers.” Because of this, he said Mr. Romney’s work at Bain Capital isn’t good preparation for the presidency.
“If your main argument for how to grow the economy is, ‘I knew how to make a lot of money for investors,’ then you are missing what this job is about,” President Obama said. “It doesn’t mean you weren’t good at private equity. But that’s not what my job is as president. My job is to take into account everybody, not just some.”

FEMA Camps and Full List of Where They Are

As a reporter I have a duty to report and bring to the attention to the public possible dangers which by warning them may save their lives. I have a right to distribute this video. YOUTUBE please contact me for further information.

The original youtube video is here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P-hvP...

It is virtually impossible to share and impossible to download.

I have found the original video on google which is here:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?doc...

The description as it is on google is here ( This is not my description ):

This is the one in Beech Grove but It's much sharper and larger. I did some research on the "so called" furnaces and the white AGA Gas Inc. Cylinder. The "so called" furnaces are exhaust fans. AGA GAS Inc. Sells mostly asphyxiation type gases...you can verify this by doing a search via dogpile for AGA GAS Inc. and the look for web site MDS and they will list the gases. In the video it shows a gas main, you can see there are 2 or 3 connections with regulators on top. Regulators are used to regulate pressure and gas mixtures. It seems that this is indeed a death camp, for those on the red and blue list. It can process 26,000 people every 24hrs. The site has since been cleaned up to look inconspicuous.
