And so it begins. Obama signed into law a $26 billion emergency state-aid package, partially funded by diverting $1.5 billion from the Department of Energy's loan-guarantee program for renewable energy. Five alternative-energy groups told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in a letter that taking money from the loan-guarantee fund, on top of the $2 billion that was borrowed in 2009 to help pay for the "Cash for Clunkers" program, would undercut federal support for renewable energy

Union leaches are now sucking blood from the main arteries of the America.

It does make you wonder if the Union Honchos ever did buy into the whole green job boondoggle or if they always knew it was just a slush fund from the get go. Then again, as long as they get their cut they probably dont give a rip either way.

Robbing peter to pay paul. Obama is well beyond floating checks and robbing the kids piggy banks. His actions, supported by the delusional are criminal.

And some will be filtered via union dues back to the Democrats' war chest.
Former President Bill Clinton this week denied any role in trying to lure Rep. Joe Sestak out of the Senate primary against establishment-backed Sen. Arlen Specter, an assertion that undermines a White House explanation of a controversy that left egg on the face of President Obama.
Clinton made the denials three times as he responded Tuesday to a reporter asking him why he is campaigning for Sestak, who defeated Specter in the May primary, if he tried to get him to drop out of the race.
"I wasn't," Clinton said while he was in a scrum of people trying to get his autograph. "I didn't try to get him out of the race."
Clinton repeated his assertion when asked whether he talked to Sestak to aid Specter. He denied it again when the reporter asked, "You did not?"
"In fact, I wasn't even accused of that." Clinton added.
Even the summary of the bill contains language that would offend many of Mr. Reid's supporters who are pushing amnesty for illegal immigrants in the United States:
"A bill to curb criminal activity by aliens, to defend against acts of international terrorism, to protect American workers from unfair labor competition, and to relieve pressure on public services by strengthening border security and stabilizing immigration into the United States."
Mr. Reid has taken quite the 180 since he introduced his immigration bill in 1993. "They've either taken leave of their senses or their principles," said Senator Reid of Republicans recently when asked about what he thought about the GOP push to clarify the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. Mr. Reid tried to endear himself recently to Hispanic voters in Nevada when discussing border issues and told them, "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican." Causing an uproar among Hispanics who are conservatives and Republicans, Mr. Reid's past dabbling with the 14th Amendment cannot possibly make his liberal supporters happy.
