   Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement Thursday that Silver had informed him in July, when it was clear that no significant new funds were being budgeted for the loan program, that he would leave at the end of the fiscal year.

   A man who has done nothing wrong steps down? His boss says it was always his plan to leave when the funding for the program expired, yet told no one until the resignation was made public?

   Skunky? Is that you I smell?

    Hey Boss? I’m only here to throw around a bunch of other peoples money, so when the money runs out, I’m gonna split, okay?

    Look for Silver to take a nice cushy job at a lefty funded thinktank or someplace similar.

    Read Immelt’s comments about Solyndra and it will make your body temperature rise with frustration.

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/44798723

    “The reason why Solyndra failed is they didn’t have the right technology and they had too high costs,”

    “I’d say particularly with sluggish economy and things like that, I do believe that infrastructure and some of the other activities, (research and development), ought to be things that the government still plays a role in.”

    So Jeff, what penalty did the government pay, as an investor, with their bad and failed investment decision to hand money over to Solyndra? Oh, that’s right. They didn’t suffer any financial consequences because they used taxpayer monies.

    MAYBE THAT’S THE PRIMARY REASON GOVERNMENT SHOULDN’T ‘INVEST’ IN WINNERS AND LOSERS, YOU F*CKING IDIOT!!

    Our economy has become a crony-socialist cesspool. Immelt is the poster child of what is wrong with the market.

    That’s too bad he’s stepping down. I really liked him in Weekend at Bernie’s.

    What’s that? It’s Jonathan Silver?

    Never mind.

    Nobody will prosecute him. C’mon, Holder will be too busy filing papers to drop cases against black panthers.

    Stepping down or pushed out doesn’t sound like a head rolling to me. Check back with me if he’s prosecuted for fraud.

    Big deal, some gonzo is gone. The real question is what does his golden parachute look like? Did these exec’s use the taxpayer and naive Obamacrats to fund their golden parachute with some bogus green scam?

    It’s one thing for a company to go bankrupt, it’s another to sort out where the money went…

    I like this from The Hill:

    Democrats hope to highlight the growing divide between the United States and other major economies when it comes to clean-energy spending.

    Clean-energy spending? So it’s the amount spent that’s at issue not whether it’s a wise investment or that it’s actually going to accomplish anything?

    Heads from higher up in the Obungler admin still need to roll on this one, in fact, let’s just go straight to the top.

    Keep in mind that this is the same group (liberals) in favor of racial quotas. They think that if a disparity exists, you simply order the end result to be modified, without investigating the underlying cause.

    Well at least we did not lose his keen business acumen and venture capitalist brilliance before they flushed all the rest of the billions of their slush fund.

    We dodged a real bullet there.

    I wonder where Silver will end up? He says he had previously been working in venture capital for ten years.

    How many venture capital companies are looking for a guy who just p*ssed away $535 million on a guaranteed failure.

    The DOE head rolling is good, but he’s merely the scapegoat initially installed in case there are complications. I have little doubt that this goes all the way to Obozo, but it’ll never be revealed because of all of these safeguards put in place because they know it was a dirty deal…

    The democratic ticket represents the unions, the fat, the welfare moocher, the under achiever, the non-achiever, the lazy, the illegal’s, the subversion of the constitution, the uneducated and the communists. Did I miss anything?
