Obama Announces Billions for 'Smart' Power Grid

[CircusMaximus09]

Brilliant...let the gov control & monitor how much energy the deadbeats and leeches use. Afterall, OUR utility bills subsidize them!

[ellokote760]

OBAMA's analogy IS a fAIL! Electricity needs NO roads! dumb ass FUCK u OBAMA!!

[ellokote760]

RATE 1 star people what the fuck IS wrong with ALL of U pls put 1 sTAR for this Socialist FAG!! Fuck THe NEW World ORDER!!

[thordoggie]

the only "business" this man-child was ever involved in was selling poison and death to his fellow man. now he should run auto companies, insurance companies, banks, energy? you gotta be fucking joking. this spoiled little tantrum is a complete moron. he hates this country, he hates our constitution, he hates anyone that is successful and independent, he hates every single one of you that want to make your own way in life. he should go fuck himself

[Nightrunner529]

He's paying for all this with Obama Cash.

[EncompassedRunner]

and let's see specifically who gets the grants & what their relationship to Obama is

[realpipster]

LOL, I think some of these comments are funny.. All of you Obama haters better stop allowing your hate to blind you. If the USA does not step up in this area - China will be the next great Superpower and emerging markets like Brazil will follow. The countries that control new energy technologies will be the next great Superpower.

[Nightrunner529]

News Flash: China already is a super power.

[realpipster]

My friend please read and educate yourself. China is not even close to being a superpower. Do you know what the per capita income of China is? Do you realize that the majority, vast majority of Chinese are dirt poor? I mean third world country poor. They are definitely the manufacturing center of the World but remember where most of their products are sold - USA. They need the USA to continue growing that is why Uncle Sam is not concerned about using China's excess liquidity for deficit finance

[realpipster]

People get alarmed that the US uses China's money to finance the deficit. Ever wondered why China does not mind? Because a) without a growing US economy China's growth stalls. b) China needs to get rid of the excess cash or else it would devalue its currency and cause hyper inflation inside China. By the way, inflation is a major problem for them as they attempt to move almost a billion pple out of poverty into the middle class. I hope you understand all this.. The USA is OK!!

[thordoggie]

we don't hate obama we hate his ideas. and the only reason china may become the next superpower...because this ass is selling us down the river.

[realpipster]

Of course you don't hate Obama. Why, I can see that you respect him and only have legitimate policy differences. Calling him an ass and suggesting that he "fuck himself" should be taken as terms of endearment not hate. Thanks for clearing it up for us.

[thordoggie]

hey gotta admit I'm a little worked up today, and my language was a little over the top.

but, he IS an ass. he has no understanding of our constitution, no understanding of economics...no respect for success. he thinks success should be punished, and failure should be rewarded.  seems a little confused to me.

so, excuse mylanguage, but then again, the truth hurts doesn't it?

[thordoggie]

and oh, you are absolutely correct...i have NO respect for him.

[mmmmmarcus]

@realpipster Enjoy your increased prison state, you fascist child-rapist.

[acdc1954]

The sight of him is sickening much less trying to listen to his lies

[thordoggie]

i agree he makes me wanna puke to look at him bad enough listen to him

[CircusMaximus09]

What an idiotic, intrusive concept. In my state, we already subsidize the deadbeats thru buried charges. The BPU calls them " societal benefit" charges. It's dollars for deadbeats

[Sandmantheman02]

And if he signs the Copenhagen Treaty in December we are under a world goverment energy plan to Tax the Freedom right out of America.

[Sandmantheman02]

Hey now... he's made 36,000 jobs that only cost US TAX PAYERS 74,00 dollars apeice. Buy some exercise bikes mount some generators on them and force overweight peolpe to ride them....ohh this is in health care bill allready.

[MikePresents2]

The (electric) power grab.

[TreyLutrash]

Solar and wind electrons are weak. My TV requires those good ole STRONG electrons that can only come from burning massive amounts of oil

[HemiHead66]

You people are stuck in the stone age. Every country in the world is going to piss all over us. While they're collecting energy and cutting the cost of doing business - we'll still be here making the fat-cats rich because you people got a massive hard-on for Obama. Way to Go! U.S.A - U.S.A.- U.S.A. dRiLl bABy dRiLl!

[Sandmantheman02]

no we're getting taxed back into the stone age

[HemiHead66]

Yeah - well, I agree with ya on that. I don't see why we should have to pay for this shit. What they need to do is take away some of these shit-ass laws that kill technology. Like only allowing a certain amount of electric cares to be sold in the U.S. Ya know - the Government has been sitting on killer battery technology since the early 90's. I think it's Lithium Titinate. They've been using in the Military. The oil and coal companies have been setting policy for far to long.

[BertGriffin88]

Obama,

Come on down to Norfolk, VA. Any 30minute drive can easily take 2hours. On July 3, 2009, the HRBT had a 50year water pipe fail, flood the HRBT (West Side); stop traffic for days. It took weeks to fix. There were apparently no cutoff valves in the original design and noone had thought that a 50year old waterpipe would fail. The Berkley Bridge was designed so that traffic going downtown and to the beach have to cross lanes. Bridges failing, roads in ruin. Why no road bailout money here?

[scarymarket]

Al Gore Invented Internet.

This country you can make good economy by watering grass. ha ha ha ha

[libsarecommies]

Fine. More targets when the war starts.

[mrglenke]

hello. just one question. won't solar power trap more than normal solar energy in our atmosphere and change climate?

[realpipster]

Now this is by far the dumbest one I have heard. My advice go back to Grade 5 Science and learn how the atmosphere works and how Solar ENERGY works.While you are at it, learn how Energy or Electrons are stored and transported...just small things that will make you realize how dumb that comment is. Kinda like saying that building a Reservoir will change the water content on Earth...you get the idea..

[mrglenke]

ugh? solar panels WILL increase the amount of photons earth absorbs from the sun. simple observations: ground is light in color and therefore reflects photons back into outer space while solar panels are black in color and anything black captures photons by gangbusters... light soil is like snow white icecaps except that reflection is to a lesser degree.

[MrSTANDFORAMERICA]

There goes another $3.4 billion pissed away by Obama.

Money borrowed, owed,spent today and not one job created from the $3.4 billion within 10 years. What a total dumb ass.

[bobob13131]

Let's have a contest--How fast can you smash a Big Brother smart grid monitor in your home?

[jjrglobal]

Our president is amazing. He's an expert at medicine, auto manufacturing, banking, electricity, the internet, energy, weapons, foreign policy, taxes, and politics. Where did he learn all this? Why does he feel like he knows better than everyone else what we need in all these various fields? Surely he is surrounding himself with experts to make these decisions, right? Well who are they, I want to meet the best doctor in the US, the best electrician,etc

[stevemallen1]

You won't find any of them on the Faux "News" Channel.

[jjrglobal]

You wont find any in the White House either I'm afraid. Given the complete idiocy surrounding this administrations policies either A) they are too stupid and too arrogant to admit they don't know what they're doing or B) They are deliberately destroying the foundation of the United States for some left wing liberal Utopian pipe dream that has proved to be a failed ideology time and again.This Utopia is controlled through force and violence, just ask those from the former Soviet Union

[samdon815]

Billions for a battery that can give an auto 250 mile range.

[TAMARLANE]

Obama "announces". Where was this debated and voted on by congress?

[sunshinyday11]

They did this in Uk. A household could recieve a one time payment of 150 and you get the metere for

free. they have the ability to control your panel for you and avoid hihg peak times by turning of the homes during peak hours.

[TAMARLANE]

These social? engineering idiots are trying to fashion a "Utopian" ideal that is impossible.

If they sincerely think they can do this, they are ignorant transcending stupid. If they are doing it just to keep their plushy jobs, it is a malignant stupidity. If they truly believed in what they are trying to do that is just dumb. It they are doing it to keep their job. that is criminally dumb. Transforming America is building a Frankenstein monster

[urbanprophet777]

How ever this,idea isent dumb at all.

[urbanprophet777]

Isent america broke and in debth?

[VictoryCough]

These are decisions that should be left to the market. Government can not create stable employment. Any job they do create is only temporary. Eventually the dollar will collapse, it may not be in this Admin. but probably in the next 20 years.

[2xtream]

Obama Big Plan. That 3 Billion is NOT for any new pwr plant. It's for smart meters for every home and business in America.

Your homes and business will be monitored. Because you have to pay a Carbon Tax on the power used. Obama says, we all have to pay for our gluttony to other country's. This is the reason for the new pwr meters on your home. They can turn off your power with the flick of a switch if you didn't pay the carbon taxes. That's what this speech was about.

Impeach Obama, Yes We Can

[sunshinyday11]

Before the election he was saying if your home was over 2500 square feet there would be a tax --- has he lowered the sqaure footage or said how much we have to pay? I am wondering if I should sell now before the rules for making your house "green" in order to sell it are applied.

[LIBERTYDOGG77]

ohhh sure and unemployment will stop at 8% right

[2xtream]

Obama

watch?v=VebOTc-7shU

[2xtream]

Obama your Fascist dreams are now pushing you to control the power to everyone, that will never work. If you attempt to cut the power to homes that don't meet your energy program will never work. We wont stand for it. You will not control the power we need to live!

We know what your little pea brain is up too.

Impeach Obama, Yes We Can!

[ppfn]

Lol you're crazy.

[LoneRaven01]

Who is going to pay for this? America is broke.

[ea9363]

Who is going to pay for this? The tax payers of America.

[B4TT3RY]

And proud of it!

[joelito101]

It's playmoney, money isn't real. It sounds like there is more debt to throw around.

[StinkingHombre]

Is Obama still fantasizing about energy technology that doesn't exist?

[djtj1216]

u are so dumb

[sunshinyday11]

No. He is just doing his best to destroy America . He doesn't care about global warming or the poor- just himself .

[spotandedgar]

I hate getting this card in monopoly.

[Ken2234]

Does this mean codes will be changing?

[Pvtjamesryan2]

Obama is right. Graves are taking up unnecessary space. We should cover them with solar panels.

[sjcpal]

Good job .. bout time we got to work on some infrastructure , maybe make a few jobs while your at it ..
