   I want to know, WHY is taxpayers money going to anything like this? If these start up businesses can’t get funds to make their products, they don’t need to be in business! Someone, someplace has gobs of money socked away that the taxpayers funded this krap. We have to borrow the money so bho can ‘GIVE’ it to those HE chooses needs it? It is NOT bho’s place to be doing this, it is the congress! I hope they hang(not a pc word) the whole blooming crooked bunch! I, along with millions of others are sick to death of this!

   *It is just imperative we get a government in place that doesn’t monkey with the market in any way, shape, or form, whether it be P-BO and his various cozy bundlers, or FLOTUS changing restaurant menus based on Obamacare waivers; It all must stop, and the GOP better get on the right side of this issue going forward!

   I’ve been thinking about the Solyndra. It had a business model of spending over 6 dollars a watt and selling it at 3 dollars hence operating at a 50 % loss. It was a doomed to begin with.
   Our Government spends 10 dollars and takes in 5.80 for a 42% loss. If we don’t do SOMETHING are we not doomed, just like Solybdra?

   Doug, sorry to be O/T, but can we have an open thread to talk about the horrible plane crash in NV and other things happening? Thanks.

   Hmmmm….Solyndra reeks of corruption, and it’s getting attention in the MSM. Fast and Furious has cost people their lives, literally, but gets no legs with most of the MSM.

   Liberal bloggers are going nuts trying to make lite of both, as if they are no big deal, so we shouldn’t pay attention.

   These are just the tip of the iceberg for this incompetent, corrupt administration and the lid will come off long before Nov. 2012.

   The Constitution is still one of our two great Founding Documents. It may be trampled on at times that try us, but it’s still there, regardless of who’s in office. Happy birthday to it.

    Obummer makes Nixon look small time in comparison. Remember it was the cover up that did Nixon in. There is alway hope the cover ups could spell the downfall of The One.

    After all, the auto bailouts were also structured in a way so that the unions were taken care of first with taxpayers stuck playing second fiddle (if any fiddle at all),

    They stuck us with the broken strings.
    Cue The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

    Just what is the big difference between the Solyndra FUBAR ‘investment’ (done at the behest of Obama Greens which screwed taxpayers) and the Government Motors debacle (done at the behest of UAWcrats which screwed taxpayers, dealers and bond holders).

    Seems Solyndra just big enough to get one’s hands around, while Gubermint Motors is ahh,,, ummm,,, too big?

    The first presidential candidate that promises no taxpayer money for “fantasy fuels” has my vote. Bowing at the altar of the pagan religion of environmentalism has got to stop. Unfortunately, nearly everyone in DC has either bought in to the environmentalist lie, or is intimidated into going along. The true scandal isn’t the failure of Solyndra, it is the fact that they and other worthless “green” enterprises get any of our money in the first place for something that has no real value. If fantasy fuels were viable, there would be people investing their own money to develop them.

    ‘…and the hits just keep on comin’!..”

    My question is…. Why isn’t someone shutting off the money spigot? Is the HoR supposed to be controlling the purse strings?

    Personally, I think obama will get thrown under his own bus.

    They’re letting all this scandal come out now in the MSM, even. I think he’ll have a choice of not running for a 2nd term, or of being ousted, either way so they can run another candidate.

    Obama we would probably beat. But, say Hillary? Maybe not so much.

    Where the heck did that serious, introspective commentary on the the pathetic condition of the current American society come from? Are you being held hostage by a fringe group of anti-humor Ron Paul supporters?

    The Obama administration restructured a half-billion dollar federal loan to a troubled solar energy company in such a way that private investors — including a fundraiser for President Barack Obama — moved ahead of taxpayers for repayment in case of a default, government records show

    If this is not a clear violation of Federal Law, I will eat my car.

    I don’t think that President Palin is going to sign on to the “greenie” agendas. The ‘Cuda seems to actually know something about energy sources that Comrade Obama and His Ilk haven’t figured out yet. Maybe they should step out of their cocoons and see what is being pumped into the tanks of Air Force One, Marine One, and the 18 ton armored car they ride in. It didn’t come from a solar panel or windmill.

    Most corrupt administration ever…..makes the Watergate coverup and Tea Pot Dome look like child’s play.

    The founders tried to prevent this, but we wouldn’t uphold the Constitution, so we lost it.

    The corruption running rampant in this administration has been allowed to flourish because the Attorney General, who should have been investigating these scandals is failing in his duty….surprise, surprise.

    Even the FBI cannot get past him to the Federal Courts, if his office chooses to refuse to accept the Bureau’s cases, no matter how air tight. It’s going to have to either be up to the Congress to do the dirty work to bring them to justice, or the job will have to wait for a new President and AG.
