In 2009, Foundation Capital’s Paul Holland revealed at the Earth2Tech’s Green: Net 09 conference, that he was told by a top Obama official, “I have $134 billion that I have to disperse between now and the end of December.”
Via Freedom’s Lighthouse:

Buzzfeed reported:

Another video, unearthed by the RNC — which is seeking to blunt a searing Democratic attack on Republican Mitt Romney’s time at the help of Bain Capital — offers a sense of how venture capitalists who supported Obama viewed the green money.

In a video appearance from 2009, venture capitalist Paul Holland — who had given the maximum legal contribution to Obama, and whose companies received over 6 million in government dollars — described his feelings when heard about the billions up for grabs.

“He came in to do his talk and opened his talk with, ‘I’m Matt Rogers I am the Special Assistant to the Secretary of Energy and I have $134 billion that I have to disperse between now and the end of December,’” Holland told the audience. “So upon hearing that I sent an email to my partners that said Matt Rogers is about to get treated like a hooker dropped into a prison exercise yard.”

Holland continued: “And I had the lack of judgment to go up and share that with him and the other people who were all standing around him…Fortunately for me they all laughed and thought it was funny.”

    THIS IS BIG, AND OMINOUS.

    I don’t even think Doug realizes how big this is. “Master Teachers”??!

    Hello Great Leap Forward II.

    This has nothing to do with increasing our scores in Math, Science, and Reading.

    It has only to do with keeping those lines on the charts level, with no increase.

    Because that’s where Americans are most deceivable — completely logic-free and programmable — and as nonthinking as possible.

    MASTER TEACHERS.

    Good Chinese God.

    Didn’t even read it ’til after my untimely OT…

    Is this a felony, if true?

    Good God, it’s almost like Obama was elected to completely bankrupt America!

    Almost like he was told the same thing Richard Pryor’s character was told in Brewster’s Millions: “Spend it all and you WIN!”

    Almost like he was following the Cloward-Piven Strategy like a religion!

    Dang. I’m an idiot too, how do I get my hands on $134 billion?

    This sentence bothered me:
    the RNC — which is seeking to blunt a searing Democratic attack on Republican Mitt Romney’s time at the help of Bain Capital. (How about blow out of the water?)

    This should really piss off his base. They were supposed to get rent and cars. It was their turn. And there should be no question now (looking at the future corpse of the msm), that Obama is just throwing a party for all his rowdy friends.

    Hind sight on this president will be what changes much of the news media. It will be extremely embarrassing for them, as the democrats twist and turn to explain how the economy rebounding under Romney, is actually Obama’s policies finally taking effect.

    Two plead not guilty to USC Chinese student killings
    Published July 18, 2012
    Associated Press
    LOS ANGELES – Two men pleaded not guilty Wednesday to killing a pair of Chinese graduate students who were gunned down in a car near the University of Southern California.
    The defendants were chastised by the judge at one point for smiling and talking to each other during the hearing.
    The long-delayed arraignment of Bryan Barnes, 20, Javier Bolden, 19, cleared the way for further proceedings in the murder case that drew international attention.
    Prosecutors haven’t decided whether to seek the death penalty.
    The men are charged with the April 11 shooting of engineering students Ming Qu and Ying Wu in a car a mile from campus.
    Prosecutors believe the killings took place during a robbery.
    Barnes and Bolden also are charged with attempted murder in unrelated attacks.

    —-
    Unrelated, also against non-black victim, attacks, most likely. But unrelated.

    The Wal-Mart Flash Robbery the other day was similarly “unrelated” to the four hundred other all-black hundreds-of-participant flash-robberies in the last three years.

    In other words, “unrelated” has no meaning any more.

    Smiling and laughing in court.

    They’re not worried. Just like the three hundred monkey-acting-fools at Wal-Mart are STILL not worried.

    The system is on their “gettin’ stupid, because I know how…” side.

    National Math Panel and Modern Day Eugenics

    [Small world. Wonder if Dr. Benbow and her National Math Panel Committee will find any credibility in research that shows the advantages of heterogeneous classroom practices? Wonder if the slow learners of math will get the same kind of math as those who show great promise for advancing our human capital? Wonder if you would call this kind of science the " research" that will be used to justify the scientifically-based racism of no expectations? Wonder if this is the future we will choose for ourselves? Wonder if anyone cares?]

    sorry, but that sounds a tad Alex Jones-ish to me..

    National Mathematics Advisory Panel:
    Strengthening Math Education Through Research

    Bush Signs Math and Science Competitiveness Bill

    however, time, not to mention Presidents (#44/45) doth
    have a way of changing the face of things to come..     :-(

    Eugenicist (#45)

    [Rather than being “actual persons”, newborns were “potential
    persons”. They explained: “Both a fetus and a newborn certainly
    are human beings and potential persons, but neither is a ‘person’
    in the sense of ‘subject of a moral right to life’.

    “We take ‘person’ to mean an individual who is capable of attributing to
    her own existence some (at least) basic value such that being deprived
    of this existence represents a loss to her.”

    As such they argued it was “not possible to damage a newborn by
    preventing her from developing the potentiality to become a person
    in the morally relevant sense”.]

    now you know, that is not Bush, not even close to being close..

    this is how socialism works, politicans make the choices on how your hard earned money will be spent. they don’t make those choices on sound economic principles, like purching a good product that you need or want. they make the choices on political expediency. not one of these companies got that money because they created a good product that peopled wanted. in many cases they hadn’t even created a product at all. they didn’t had to compete with other companies to make the best product available. they got that money because of what they did politically.

    you like socialism get used to this because this is the future of the american economy under socialistic principiles. your money squandered on defective , unwanted goods until there is economy collapse.

    Unlike Obama Business Owners Did Do It Themselves

    [By now, most have heard Obama’s emphatic statement, “If you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there…If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that–somebody else made that happen.”

    This statement, perhaps more so than any other he has made, displays the raw Marxist-Leninist contempt he has for entrepreneurs. It also clearly defines his business (as well as economic) ignorance, and it unambiguously proves he has never created anything in his life. It further shows that which I have said from the beginning and that is both he and his arrogant wife are nothing more than welfare-minded trash who found a way to use hatred, racism, and Marxist-Leninism to slither up the food chain.

    Many years ago I built a business, and I can tell you it was successful not only because I offered good products but also specifically because I did work hard. It was successful because I worked smart. That is the case with nearly all of the successful business owners I know today.

    Obama’s entire life has been one of handouts and public welfare. He went to school on government-paid, taxpayer-funded programs. He and his wife took the advance money for his book deal and squandered it on drugs, drinks, and high-living in the islands.

    His wife may have been ashamed of America and the American people before she hit the White House lottery, but that shame sure as heck didn’t prevent her from taking every handout she could get including free education and highly suspicious, favored employment placements. It also kept her out of jail pursuant to her rumored misdeeds in Chicago that led to her being forced to surrender her law license.]
