Vice President Biden Touts Weatherization Program Biden Visits NH Home To Mark Milestone In Federal Program

UPDATED: 12:38 pm EDT August 26, 2010 MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Vice President Joe Biden visited New Hampshire on Thursday to note a milestone in a federal program to improve home energy efficiency.

Biden went to the home of Lyn Dumont, a single mother of two children who learned this week that her house was going to be part of the weatherization program. Biden said that with her house, 200,000 homes have been made more energy efficient under the program.

While acknowledging that these are tough times, the vice president said the programs put in place by the administration of President Barack Obama are turning things around.

Why don’t they ever talk about the things that don’t get done, becasue the govt. took this money away from someone else in the form of taxes.

Jack’s delivery wanted to purchase another truck, but couldn’t afford to, because the govt. took away his truck money and gave it to this woman to weatherize her house.

John Smith wanted to replace his cracked driveway, but couldn’t afford it because the govt. took away his driveway repair savings money and gave it to this woman to weatherize her house.

The Davis family wanted to put new gutters on their home, but couldn’t because the govt. took awy their gutter money and gave it to this woman so she could weatherize her house.

Everytime the govt. does something, something else doesn’t get done. That’s the story that should be told.

Thanks for the tube of caulk, Joe. When times get tough, can I spread it on a piece of bread and pretend it is peanut butter?

You can do your average home for about 600-2k in materials cost and most can be done in a weekend.

Why ANYONE would pay someone to do this is beyond me.

But then my handle isn’t “Plugs”.

I love when rich liberals lecture us about putting plastic over the windows of our mobile homes.

Very Carteresque.

It may be time for poor Joe’s keepers to throw a net over him and reevaluate his medications.

Is Joe really this dumb, or does he get a kick out of rubbing people’s faces in the misery he helped create? What an arrogant fool.

They need a friendly little "home weatherization" jingle, kind of like the one they had years ago for the seat belt thingee, "Buckle Up For Safety".

Of course, once it becomes mandatory, they'll have to change it to the gravel-voiced "CLICKITERTICKET" guy - at least HE'LL get some more work as front man for the Home Weatherization SWAT teams that will fan out across Peasant Nation...

He's right in the neighborhood - maybe he can have his posse of Jannissaries round up the Escalades and they can cruise over to The Vineyard to grab a $19 burger & fries with the Caliph-In-Chief @ the State Road Restaurant.

Burger is halal, dontchaknow...

Just another massive wealth transfer from the middle class to the Obama/ACORN supporters. The “stimulus” has been the most misallocated expenditure of money down a rat hole I have seen in my entire lifetime. Trillions in misallocated spending is guaranteeing a worse depression.
