Boulder is a Stoopid Place

Post-debate, MSNBC’s Matthews claims Romney supporters fueled by racial hatred of Obama

“I think they hate Obama. They want him out of the White House more than they want to destroy Al Qaeda. Their No. 1 enemy in the world right now, on the right, is their hatred, hatred for Obama. And we can go into that about the white working class in the South and looking at these numbers we’re getting the last couple days about racial hatred in many cases … this isn’t about being a better president, they want to get rid of this president,’ he said.”

Grow up Chris, although I suppose it’s to late for that.

More blog posts about it than attendees.

That doesn’t include the two very large signs on farmland on Highway 36 just north of the intersection of 36 and Nebo road.

Sweet.

President Obama’s Taxpayer-Backed Green Energy Failures

So far, 36 companies that have received federal support from taxpayers have either gone bankrupt or are laying off workers and are heading for bankruptcy. This list includes only those companies that received federal money from the Obama Administration’s Department of Energy. The amount of money indicated does not reflect how much was actually received or spent but how much was offered. The amount also does not include other state, local, and federal tax credits and subsidies, which push the amount of money these companies have received from taxpayers even higher.

Perhaps the Government playing venture capitalist isn’t such a grand idea!? I realize most Boulderites have no issue with the Government flushing taxpayer money down the toilet for green energy, but outside the 24 square miles it’s a different matter.

Indeed.
