More Obama Jobs Idiocy: Funding Electric Cars Built in Finland!

President Barack Obama is in urgent need of input from an intelligent, common-sense loyalist, said patriot to whisper into one of his monster, over-sized ears the following message: ‘Mr. President, You are expected to represent the interests of the American people.’

What purpose could possibly be served by delivering such an obvious, overly-simple message to one of the greatest intellectuals of all time?

For one thing, it could remind BHO that using taxpayer dollars to fund the manufacture of electric cars in a foreign nation is stupid, un-American, and may qualify as a high crime or misdemeanor which could be an impeachable offense.

As reported in part, Obama’s latest idiocy is almost too much to believe:

With the approval of the Obama administration, an electric car company that received a $529 million federal government loan guarantee is assembling its first line of cars in Finland, saying it could not find a facility in the United States capable of doing the work.

Vice President Joseph Biden heralded the Energy Department’s $529 million loan to the start-up electric car company called Fisker as a bright new path to thousands of American manufacturing jobs. But two years after the loan was announced, the job of assembling the flashy electric Fisker Karma sports car has been outsourced to Finland.

“There was no contract manufacturer in the U.S. that could actually produce our vehicle,” the car company’s founder and namesake told ABC News. “They don’t exist here.”

“We’re not in the business of failing; we’re in the business of winning. So we make the right decision for the business,” Fisker said. “That’s why we went to Finland.”

The obvious questions: ‘What about Detroit where unemployment hovers around 22 percent? What about Yankee innovation and determination?”

Yet another Obama bright idea turns out to be a complete disaster for America!
