Obama Doubles Down on Failure

We want to thank Senators Coburn (R-OK) and McCain (R-AZ) for taking the time to look into how that taxpayer-funded stimulus money is being spent. What they discovered is massive amounts of our tax dollars have been misspent. That is not surprising out of anyone coming out of one of the most crooked cities in America -- Chicago which graft is king.

This is what you get when you elect someone from the political machine of Chicago. Voters didn't just elect Obama they elected part that Chicago political machine who are now in the White House with Obama -- Chief of Staff Rahm Emanual, Senior Advisor (Political Consultant) David Axelrod, Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett, and Social Secretary Desiree Rogers for starters. Most likely you have the four who are behind what comes out of the White House while Obama mouths the words. With all this money going back to Chicago, we would guess it is payback time for support during the election.

Probably another reason why Oklahoma is getting the short straw on stimulus money. Only 34% of Oklahomans voted for Obama. That amount of support has dropped even lower today. Not many paybacks due any Oklahomans since every county went to Senator McCain. Interesting that the two Senators after the mismanagement and most likely fraud of the stimulus are the Senator who won every County in Oklahoma -- John McCain and the Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma Dr. Tom Coburn. Oklahoma may be a small state but Oklahomans had Obama pegged as someone who spouted the rhetoric and didn't mean one word. Shame the rest of the Country didn't catch on Sooner!

It sounds like the lead in to a bad joke: What do a Chicago-based dinner cruise company, a study of libidinous female college students and a former Hillary Clinton advisor have in common?

But the joke is on us, because each of the above has been awarded hefty doses of taxpayer-funded stimulus money since February, according to a new stimulus report card by Senators Tom Coburn and John McCain.

In his “jobs speech” this week, President Obama implicitly acknowledged that last February’s $1.2 trillion stimulus package has failed. Then he demanded another one in order to bolster his plan to “spend our way out of this recession.”
But given the failure of the first stimulus highlighted by wasteful spending unearthed in the new Coburn-McCain report, as well as the stifling deficits the Obama administration is already running, more government spending will mean more debt, more waste and more unemployment.

Titled “Stimulus Checkup,” the Coburn-McCain report exposes 100 projects paid for by February’s stimulus package they claim wasted at least $7 billion.
Some of the most egregious items include $5 million for alternative energy in a mostly empty shopping mall in Tennessee, and $1.6 million for fossil research in Argentina for Penn State University.

A dinner cruise company based in Chicago received nearly $1 million in funds to combat terrorism, and $100,000 was spent for a socially conscious puppet shows in Minnesota.

The State University of New York at Buffalo won $390,000 to study young adults who drink malt liquor and smoke marijuana, and the National Institutes of Health got $219,000 in funds to study whether female college students are more likely to “hook up” after drinking alcohol.

There’s even $30,000 to study how methamphetamines affect the sex drive of female rats.
