Literally not buying what president obamas selling here. Hes trying to give them away with a 7500 tax credit. The problem is president obamas entire green agenda is rooted in fanaticism rather than reality. The reality is his green agenda has cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars and has failed to create the jobs and has failed to create the projects hes promised us. Michelle i remember president obama a couple years back saying by 2015 we will have 1 million vehicles electric vehicles on the road. Its 2015 last i checked. Hes short of his goal. Look the president wants everyone to be environmentalists. What was he doing on earth day . Oh thats right. He was flying air force one all the way to florida. Burning 9,000 gallons of fuel. Look the problem is you cannot create demand for something that americans dont want. What they dont want is they dont want electric cars. The problem with picking winners and losers which is what this administration doing when it comes to industry

Thank you to Atlantic Council for hosting us and thank you for making at out on a less than auspicious weather day. This book is about the return of private military force International Relations today. I wrote this not simply as an International Relations scholar but also as a practitioner that i work for a Company Called dyncorp national for several years in africa and while i was working there i saw many press reports, many think tank reports, a lot of leftwing and rightwing kneejerk reaction to simply did not get what i thought the industry was right.
