President Barack Obama on Thursday toured a vehicle battery plant in Michigan, a possible battleground state in the 2012 presidential race, touting his administration’s focus on green technology and jobs.
Obama told the employees of Johnson Controls Inc., in Holland, Mich., gathered at the factory that they represented how America can come out of a recession by making products that can be sold around the world.
“Look what’s happening in Holland, Mich.,” said the president. “Every day, hundreds of people are going to work on the technologies that are helping us fight our way out of this recession. Every day you’re building high-tech batteries so that we lead the world in manufacturing the best cars and the best trucks -- that just doesn’t mean jobs in Michigan. You’re buying equipment and parts from suppliers in Florida and New Mexico and Ohio and Wisconsin, all across America.”
The economic stimulus, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, provided $2.4 billion in grants to advanced vehicle batteries technology. From that amount, $300 million in grants went to Johnson Controls to manufacture batteries.

Yesterday on my way home from work I had the unfortunate luck of turning on the radio to President Obama speaking at Johnson Controls, a battery manufacturer. I could only take a few minutes and had to turn it off. I was just thinking that this man says more words without really saying anything at all, or anything new.
Maggie listened, and was disgusted.
I was appalled today to hear Obama tell an audience at Michigan’s Johnson Controls that he accomplished bringing the world’s largest auto companies together, doubled the distance some cars can go on a gallon of gas, saved consumers thousands, and he did it all without the help of Congress. I don’t know which is the most appalling, bypassing Congress or spending $2 Million PER JOB at Johnson Controls. The company received $300 million in grants for their battery manufacturing and added 150 jobs – that’s a cost of $2 Million spent per job – paid for out of the pockets of taxpayers.
After crowing about bypassing Congress, he had the nerve to say there’s nothing wrong with our country, but there’s something wrong with our politics. Translation: we are a two party system that needs to morph into a one party system. He blamed the Standard and Poors credit downgrade on a lack of compromise in Congress – a self-inflicted wound, he called it. Do you think he was referring to Democrats not compromising and wounding the nation?
Like a 20-year old, he told the country we could hear “the frustration” in his voice. Has he any idea how frustrated we were today to hear him say “…we’re going to hire some folks….” How can he hire without it being a government job?
