Another Øbama "green" stimulus project gone bad:

Workers at the Compact Power manufacturing facilities in Holland, Mich., run by LG Chem, have been placed on rotating furloughs, working only 3 weeks per month based on lack of demand for lithium-ion cells.

The facility, which was opened in July 2010 with a groundbreaking attended by Obama, has yet to produce a single battery for the Chevrolet Volt, the troubled electric car from General Motors. The plant’s batteries also were intended to be used in Ford’s electric Focus. …

The 650,000-square-foot, $300 million facility was slated to produce 15,000 batteries per year, while creating hundreds of new jobs. But to date, only 200 workers are employed at the plant by by the South Korean company. Batteries for the Chevy Volts that have been produced have been made by an LG plant in South Korea.

The factory was partly funded by a $150 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy. LG also received sizeable tax breaks from the local government, saving nearly $50 million in property taxes over 15 years and another $2.5 million annually in business taxes. Landing the factory was hailed as a coup when shovels first hit the ground.

Top Five Worst Obamacare Taxes Coming in 2013, 90 days from now: Jan 1, 2013:

The Obamacare Medical Device Tax – a $20 billion tax increase: Medical device manufacturers employ 409,000 people in 12,000 plants across the country. Obamacare imposes a new 2.3 percent excise tax on gross sales – even if the company does not earn a profit in a given year. In addition to killing small business jobs and impacting research and development budgets, this will increase the cost of your health care – making everything from pacemakers to prosthetics more expensive.

The Obamacare “Special Needs Kids Tax” – a $13 billion tax increase: The 30-35 million Americans who use a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) at work to pay for their family’s basic medical needs will face a new government cap of $2,500 (currently the accounts are unlimited under federal law, though employers are allowed to set a cap).

There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are several million families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C. (National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education. This Obamacare tax provision will limit the options available to these families.

The Obamacare Surtax on Investment Income – a $123 billion tax increase: This is a new, 3.8 percentage point surtax on investment income earned in households making at least $250,000 ($200,000 single). This would result in the following top tax rates on investment income:
The Obamacare “Haircut” for Medical Itemized Deductions – a $15.2 billion tax increase: Currently, those Americans facing high medical expenses are allowed a deduction to the extent that those expenses exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income (AGI). This tax increase imposes a threshold of 10 percent of AGI. By limiting this deduction, Obamacare widens the net of taxable income for the sickest Americans. This tax provision will most harm near retirees and those with modest incomes but high medical bills.

The Obamacare Medicare Payroll Tax Hike -- an $86.8 billion tax increase: The Medicare payroll tax is currently 2.9 percent on all wages and self-employment profits. Under this tax hike, wages and profits exceeding $200,000 ($250,000 in the case of married couples) will face a 3.8 percent rate instead. This is a direct marginal income tax hike on small business owners, who are liable for self-employment tax in most cases.
This turd is toast...

The Jews caused America to be embroiled in WW2 when they bombed Pearl Harbour pretending to be Japanese.

It seems to me Obama can still lose the election, but only if he drops his pants, squats down to take a dump and has an operation for a gender change-- and all this while on stage before the tv cameras during the debate with...eh, who's that clown again?

Why will millions vote for Obama? Some reasons:

They're desperate. Despite unemployment of 24% (not the "official govt. rate), taking away many civil rights and not prosecuting people for everything from fraud to torture, they'll do it anyway. Why? Because there's "no other choice".

Wrong. Jill Stein and the Green Party are on the ballot in all 50 states.
The're not a "viable party".
Oh really? Then why do so many other countries have multi-party systems?

You're obligated to vote for Obama ONLY BECAUSE you belong to a certain group (African American, Hispanic, etc.). I disagree.

Obama has said that his Administration won't prosecute former govt. leaders for any "alleged" war crimes committed during their term. Bush, Cheney and all the rest of them will get rich and never be touched.

Does this bother anyone? Apparently not.

I'll happily give away my civil rights and the right to have a decent life (single payer health care, free post secondary education, etc.) that other countries continue to have to re-elect Obama.

What does THAT say about the state of the States?

Obama/Bernanke is edging the US up to the inflationary financial cliff with open-ended QE3 & massive tax hikes slated for Jan 1, 2013. Add the real Unemployment rates, Obamacare/Obamatax kicking in & more business regulations and you have the perfect storm... not sure if we can avoid a 2nd recession at this point. I've got to hand it to Obama, he wanted big government & he has done everything in his power to reach that. It's just that he's trashed the country...biggest election in 50 years!

In the recent past the US electorate has chosen two real air-heads in Reagan and Junior Bush so anything can happen. And what's more having found them out the US voter elected these meatheads for another presidential term.
No, you can't blame these two virtual warriors for playing the electorate for suckers that's par for the political course.
Mitt Romney looks a lot like one of the Brown Bomber's Bum of the Month club. And to make matters worse the Tea Party has donated a 'china' chin to this up-tight, sorry up-right, Republican candidate. Some joker has suggested the Osmond Family come out for Mitt but they're history and Romney will do everything to stay out of that dustbin

funny to see just how many Americans down on their knees praying for an economic disaster just to get themselves back in charge. the GOP will merrily screw their fellow citizens to achieve this end. the Republican led congress blocked The American Jobs Act that would have added around 2 million jobs. the Act contained many elements demanded by Republicans, it was a bipartisan piece of legislation. not that this make the slightest difference, Obama must fail, no matter how many Americans are forced to suffer.

as Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell said back in 2010, “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”

what a patriot eh? burn the place down just to get rid of Obama...
