Battery maker A123 Systems vowed thousands of new jobs when it received a nearly quarter-billion-dollar stimulus grant in late 2009, but federal job-tracking figures show only a few hundred positions were created before the company joined a growing list of federally backed energy businesses that ended in bankruptcy.

And Obama's 2nd term, as he advertised, will be the same FORWARD. With A Lot More Flexibility!
If THE PEOPLE were not on gurard, we will surely lose our Republic.
“Recovery.gov reflects a small portion of the total employees working on our projects — serving as a quarterly snapshot of only those workers paid directly with Energy Department funds,” department spokeswoman Jen Stutsman wrote in an email.
More "creative accounting" from DOE. If only they can magically creat our own domestic energy and JOBS (real jobs).
Sorry about the tag.
Will Obama come up with a plan to get Americans working to rebuild after Sandy?
Probably not, he would rather get his union cronies together instead and have them overcharge the insurance companies.
$250M/400 jobs = $625,000 per job. As Obama says ‘we are moving forward’.
What are we at $16T of national debt yet? The party has just started.
The lawyers and accountants tracking the money and fraud will be busy for ten years putting the Obama criminals in Jail.
There should be some executions for starters to make the others fes up for a plea.
When LBJ declared War on Poverty in 1964 the national debt was $312 Billion..Now that Obama has surrendered the national debt is $16 Trillion. Proof once and for all that government spending neither stimulates the economy nor creates jobs. If only the American people were smart enough to do a litlle math......
It seems anyone who gets a job working in a “green company” headed by one of obama cronies- it should be considered TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT.
When the gubmint money is spent, the job is gone.
Anyone checkout the locations and homes and lifestyles of the “principals” of this scam company (and the others)???
Projact Veritas??

it will never happen
never
the obamas will live like american royalty for the rest of their lazy lives
the black kennedys
someone will author them some more books so they get royalties
they will be flown around thr world by private jets, get paid everywhere they show up to chow down on lobster, show off wookie’s donated designer duds, and lecture the little people on being exploited by other Americans who are too fat and too rich
no one has managed to put Jon Corzine in jail and he is an old white guy, not the first black president
You are right, the headline should have said 400 temporary jobs.
And the hired hands would have gotten the unemployment benefits, too.
And like I said earlier, I worked with a number of people at A123 when I was at Gillette and they were idiots then and apparently didn’t learn much in over the years.
” $250M/400 jobs = $625,000 per job. As Obama says ‘we are moving forward’.”
This is a good F’n deal !
I think Obama would *spend* way more borrowed than that per job to get re-elected. He says that when it comes to voters he needs, OOPPPS I mean the middle class , money IS NO Object. We can tax the bejesus out of *the rich* after the election.
If you include bankruptcies, the cost per job must be over one million.
Great point!!!
