Iowa voted for Obama, right?
Well they got what they paid for. 4000 lost jobs, higher food and fuel bills and in the end the investors of the bankrupt company probably got bailed out.
Happy Iowa?
Didn't Iowa just receive the gift of happy marriages?
If you're going to blame presidents then it is the two before Obama to blame for this fiasco.
Iowa not only voted for Obama, it allowed itself to be intimidated/manipulated in order to allow The Kenyan to get past Hillary Clinton in the caucuses. If that didn't wake the rest of the country up to the fact that we really ARE "idiots out walking around," the homosexual marriage ruling ought to have done the trick.
I had done some research into VeraSun back when their website was all happy and proud to boast that the (then) junior senator from Illinois had addressed a meeting of their shareholders, and that was my first indicator that Comrade Zero's people had successfully infiltrated what would have logically been enemy territory. Unfortunately, big ag is now reflexively statist, and if the government required all of Iowa's firstborns in exchange for a piece of the pie, plenty of people would bundle them up and set them out on the curb to be picked up for dispersal or disposal.
The ethanol plant in Dyersville is a beautiful complex, all shiny, new and efficient. The farmers loved it - well, they loved it until the checks didn't clear anymore - the local truckers loved it, the railroads loved it... in general, all God's chillun loved it except for the locals who put up one helluva fight over putting the plant there in the first place.

We're as happy as pigs in $hit!
And just as smart, too!
