BUFFET & OBAMA - The Hell With American Jobs

Obama claims to support American Jobs and the American Auto Industry.

Obama boosts of his support by Warren Buffet and assistance to help for Obama’s economic advise.

Buffet owns 10% of China based auto manufacture that will be selling their electric car in the United States by the end of the year.

Buffet move will put more UAW, Ford, GM, and Chrysler jobs on the line.

Now Who Does Obama Support? Facts speak the truth and read the following published stories.

Buffett Bucks Boosts BYD Chinese Hybrid
By Edward NiedermeyerOctober 16, 2008

Battery maker and hybrid powertrain dark horse BYD got quite a legitimacy boost when the Oracle of Omaha (and possible Obama cabinet member) Warren Buffett dropped $230m on ten percent of its stock. And that boost seems to be translating into accelerated plans to bring BYD cars to market. China Car Times reports that BYD will begin selling its “dual mode” (not to be confused with GM’s disasterous “two-mode”) hybrids (specifically, the Toyota Corolla F3DM compact) before the end of the year, several months before the previously-publicized release date.

No plans have been announced to accelerate European sales, set to begin in 2010. And U.S. sales are still a gleam in Warren Buffett’s shrewd eye. BYD hybrids have been extensively tested in China, and the firm claims that its proprietary batteries are good for 62 mile of plug-in charge and will last over 300k miles before needing to be replaced. The parallel/serial hybrids can be charged to 50 percent of capacity in ten minutes, while a 100 percent charge takes seven hours, according to BYD. If these numbers hold up and quality is up to snuff, BYD could soon be a big name in the hybrid game. After all, Ma Buffett didn’t raise any fools.

Here is a story from Portland Business Journal on September 30, 2008

The Warren Buffett-owned parent company of Pacific Corp. announced Monday it bought a 10 percent stake in BYD Co. Ltd., the Chinese company that is considering Portland as a test market for its electric automobiles.

MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co., a subsidiary of Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and owner of the Portland-based electric utility Pacific Power, said it agreed to buy 225 million shares of Shenzhen-based BYD — a $230 million investment.

“We are thrilled to be partners with BYD and the people of China,” Buffett said in a news release. MidAmerican Chairman David Sokol said they are attracted to BYD’s commitment to make a “dramatic environmental impact with their products.”

BYD Co. is the world’s biggest maker of mobile-phone batteries. The company broadened into automaking in 2003, when it bought Shaanxi Qinchuan Auto Co. It's now working to develop its battery technology to bring a new breed of alternative fuel vehicles to the marketplace.

BYD Auto executives have visited Portland twice since April in the search for a U.S. test market for its planned plug-in electric and all-electric models. Some are hopeful that it will eventually make electric cars here.

In August, Henry Z. Li, general manager of the company’s auto export trade division, met with Gov. Ted Kulongoski (D), Portland Mayor-elect Sam Adams (D) and U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith (R), among other leaders in the business community, to discuss the company’s plans.

Li said BYD’s initial plans are likely to involve placing 10 of the company’s vehicles into a corporate fleet, allowing them to gauge the vehicles’ performance in a controlled setting.
While those plans may be small in scale, state officials may have larger plans.

Kulongoski on Friday created a working group that is tasked with creating policy and an alternative fuel infrastructure aimed at luring electric car manufacturers to the state. From Nov. 15-21st, Kulongoski will be in China and Japan where he will meet with exeutives from BYD, Toyota and Nissan to make the case for bringing manufacturing sites to Oregon.

“We have to move away from gasoline powered vehicles and move towards alternative power sources such as electric, natural gas and fuel cell vehicles — and Oregon is positioned to be a national a leader for this next generation of vehicles,” Kulongoski said in a news release last week

I disse dage omtales afdødede Ekrem Sahin og hans situation i Fængslet, hvorfor jeg mener at man burde se tingende fra begge sider og ikke kun fra den danske side eller kontra tyrkisk side.

Vi har et godt ordsprog på tyrkisk som lyder: Ne ekersen, onu bicersin/Hvad du sår, høster du.

Jeg vil i bedste mulige måde prøve at definere og fremligge min mening om denne sag som jeg håber vil åbne op for en kritisk dog demokratisk debat...

Vi blir nød til at se på Ekrem Sahin´s fortid i denne debat og hvad han har "ydet" for det danske system. I bedste fald om han har været en "overlast" i det danske system som naturligvis ikke er gyldig grund til hans død i Fængsel. Ekrem Sahin har utallige gange medvirket direktig/indirektig i vold, overfald, knivstikkerig, røverig, salgsmål og har i denne forbindelse været i klammerig med ordensmagten op til utallige gange.. Er det acceptabelt??? Er det acceptabelt at jeg og andre skatte ydere skal "betale" via vores lidt dårlige sociale velfærdssystem for en kriminel og hans adfærd? Hvad koster Ekrem Sahin og andre ligende borger i dette samfund? Tænker vi over det?

Naturligvis er det dybt sørgeligt at Sahin familien har mistet en ung gut.. Men har de tænkt over hvad de (i dette tilfælde ansvarlige forældre, som desuden er skildte) har givet deres søn Ekrem Sahin? Har de været der for ham? Hvordan har det været for Ekrem Sahin at være skildsmisse barn og rende rundt med andre kriminelle for at blive "accepteret"? Hvorfor er Ekrem Sahin endt som kriminel? Når man høre familien (Sahin) lyder de naturligvis til at være velintigreret, demokratisk - og mon?

Jeg vil hermed også fremskynde nogle informationer/udplug fra andre "private" medier om netop Ekrem Sahin:

"Glasskår fra en kraftig råglasrude mellem de toppede brosten på hjørnet af Rådhustorvet og Klostergade vidner om, at ikke alle lige begejstrede for at sidde i »venterummet« under Vejle Kriminalret, der har til huse på Vejle Rådhus… Den 15-årige var sammen med to kammerater på 16 år, hvoraf den ene, Ekrem Sahin , også har en udenlandsk baggrund, tiltalt for røveri dels mod tre unge mænd i Vedelsgade tidligt om natten søndag den 27. april dels mod en taxachauffør på Uhrhøj kort før midnat samme dag…"

"To af de tre unge forklarede som vidner, at Sahin bevidst var gået ind i den ene for at fremprovokere et eller andet, og pludselig viftede han med en kniv, og med den truede han de tre til at udlevere et halvt hundrede kroner og en mobiltelefon… Om aftenen var de tre venner igen en tur i byen, og pludselig befandt de sig nær taxakøen på Nørretorv…."

"Pludselig havde den 16-årige trukket en pistol, som han pegede på chaufføren med, og mens han stirrede ham ind i øjnene, forlangte han at få udleveret penge. Samtidig blev han ramt af et knytnæveslag på højre kæbe – affyret af Sahin, mens den somaliske dreng bagfra tog halsgreb på ham. Sahim var steget ud af taxaen og gået om til fordøren, hvor han krævede flere penge…"

"Ekrem Sahin har en ualmindelig blakket fortid med blandt andet røveri og overfald. Han har været anbragt på en sikret institution, men stak alligevel af, og den 19. maj i år blev han kendt skyldig i disse forhold og løsladt, fordi han havde været indespærret i seks måneder. Få dage senere blev straffen fastsat til et års fængsel, men da havde han allerede begået røverierne i Vejle… Domsmandsretten var i går ikke i tvivl om, at Ekrem Sahin var hovedmanden bag røverierne i Vejle, og han blev trods sine kun 16 år idømt et år og ni måneders ubetinget fængsel.”

Det betyder naturligvis stadig ikke at Ekrem Sahin skulle dø på den måde som han nu gjorde i fægslet......
