Subscribe to RSSThe Detroit Free Press: President Barack Obama heads to an event in Ann Arbor today holding a clear lead in the state over the two Republicans with the best chance to block his re-election in November. Two months ago, Obama trailed Michigan-born former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the Free Press/WXYZ-TV poll, 46%-41%. Now, the Democratic president leads Romney in the state, 48%-40% in a poll of 600 voters taken Saturday through Wednesday.
President Barack Obama's goal of approving enough renewable-energy projects on federal lands to power 3 million homes may be the easy part — getting them built could be another story. In his speech at Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora on Thursday, Obama repeated the goal he set in his State of the Union address — 10 gigawatts of renewable-energy generation on public land. Yet even as the Obama administration is approving projects, the federal financing programs that are key to their construction are fading, The Denver Post reports.

Americans like to give the party out of power a chance, which is what people gave the Republicans in 2010 - and they blew it. I say, they haven't wandered in the wilderness sufficiently, they need to examine their role in the financial crisis of 2008, and their response to it. "Cut taxes on investment income to create jobs." Didn't work.
Problem is that there is no mechanism to keep those profits from going offshore. They may have created jobs if it was kept here as reinvested capital, not trickled back as stock repurchases which make the CEO's coffers fat from stock options taxed at 15% or less. Mitt has business experience, but his own finances highlight what is wrong with the system.
Betty how did you get the comment restored yesterday? Did you do it yourself as an employee of MSNBC or FR?
drill baby drill also Illinois wants the pipeline to go thru the state as they are 900 million in the hole. Feisty does not want to have to perform at a whole bunch of dinners to raise money for the state's deficit.
I am always amused, how the right wing fringe is so threatened by Feisty's ability to write and get to the point, that they must make personal, derogatory comments. And how they can neither spell, or use proper grammar.
Your comments say way more about you than Feisty.
Newday, seriously? Feisty's a hack...just as vile as Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and will take every opportunity to make personal attacks on anyone.
jfk 2112 Hack? Vile? How can you take the finer points of your dull life and attach them to other people. You wear them so well, why give them away?
EXCELLENT, Smitty! JFK: but you continue to both read what Feisty says, and worry about it. Hysterical. You have an ignore feature on your account, if you don't like what you read...USE IT!
I did....works great. No more cut and paste lib bullcrap...
I myself prefer the Obama kool aid to this GOP kool aid you righties drink. That GOP kool aid gives you bad smelling gas.
Personal attacks from EITHER side, shame on you. Stick to the facts.
Watching MSNBC just now as the president spoke to a college crowd in Michigan... So switched to see what other channels were carrying him live... CNN was carrying it... But Fox news was not... No surprise there and a Bill Hemmer was talking about the president but it wasn't anything nice...
I guess this is the Liberal News Media that the right wing nut-jobs are talking about... So I guess they mean Don't listen to Fox News...

Amy, the republicans weren't just an out of power party that Americans wanted to give a "chance". The republican shellacking was a message from the american voting public to obama not knock of the leftist bullsh&%t. From the state of the union, it's obvious he has not learned that lesson. Why do you think most political analysts see the senate gong republican? In 2008 the country in deed was wanting change. Problem is what Obama promised and what he delivered are two completely different things.
The republicans deserve a parade for blocking Obama's destructive agenda!
The republicans deserve a parade
Not according to the historically low approval rating Americans give Republicans in Congress, or the fact the three least popular governors in the nation are Teapublicans elected to office 2010. You blew it.
Being run out of town on a rail is the closest thing they will get to a parade.
It is good to see the President on the road speaking truthfully and stating clearly the reality of our economic situation in America. Yes Mr. President. Many GOP Elephants are poltically running around in economic circles. Here are some good questions to ask the Tea Beggers, and the GOP Lobbyists Mr. President. Where is the GOP Jobs Plan?? What is their plan to fix the US Tax Codes?? What is their definition of economic fairness?? Now Mr. President. The "Romulian" will be flying around in his "Bird Of Prey." Just have the US Air Force shoot him down Mr. President! Maybe a visit to the mental hospital where "Nutty Newt" keeps escaping from?? Mr. President a visit to the IRS to make sure the "Romulian Romney" gets the big tax audit that he has earned. I wonder if the "Romulian" will be speaking French during his Criminal Tax Evasion Trial?? Mr. President you could visit Bain Capital! Reninding them it was corporations like Bain Capital that helped cause the Economic Depression of 2008. Have a fun time Mr. President!
