Governor Palin posted a statement on Facebook about todays news that Fisker Automotive is laying off three-fourths of its U.S. workers:
Once again, the American public lost when the Obama administration attempted to pick winners and losers in the free market. Today the electric car company Fisker Automotive, which received nearly $200 million in taxpayer money, is laying off three-fourths of its U.S. workers.
The Anaheim, CA-based start up has failed at pretty much every level especially when it comes to the companys ultra expensive luxury electric hybrid, the Karma (what a name!), which is assembled in Finland and received a green-energy loan to transition the assembly to the U.S., something that never happened.
This losing tax-subsidized venture joins other past losers like the Obama-subsidized Volt that gets 40 miles per battery charge, or like the Obama-subsidized Tesla that turns into a brick when the battery completely discharges and then costs $40,000 to repair.
This is really just the latest manifestation of the administrations crony capitalism as their green energy buddies benefit from this atrocious waste of taxpayer money. Americans really need to get outraged by these wasteful ventures. As weve seen time and time again, We the People are always stuck subsidizing the lefts losers.
So whats the solution and where do Americans go with our outrage? Stand up against the crony capitalism and elect only those who understand and will let Americas marketplace dictate economic successes, instead of letting politicians (some who have never run any business nor even worked in the private sector) choose free enterprises winners and losers. Take a stand, friends. Nothing will change unless you do.

It is possible to be both...no?
In the world of politics they are rarely losers since they have the ability to amass millions in personal assets at the public trough.
One can still be a uber loser with great wealth (e.g. nobama or klintoons).
