While sabotaging our reliable energy sources, Obama is also throwing as much federal money as he can at failed green energy projects, which are so ill-conceived that a reasonable person might conclude this goal is to waste money.

It's mind-blowing. — David Limbaugh

I hold in an open hand. — Jacqueline Carey
