I was listening to America Left this morning and this lady caller comes on and says that the reason that Solyndra failed was because the management stole from the company. I don’t think there is any proof these guys actually “stole” the money but even if they did this caller is deflecting.
Her point was that it’s not Obama’s fault that the CEO was a crook and he shouldn’t be blamed for the failure, it was the CEO’s fault.
Well duh, but Obama made the decision to align himself with these crooks so he is responsible for the failure, he should have vetted them better. But no he was so quick to join leagues with these clowns to appease the greenie nuts.
It just appalls me how far the left will go to 1. Defend the horrible decisions of Obama, 2. Blame others for his failures. 3. Not take any responsibility for their actions.
To make matters worse, the host said “well we all know that for the right it’s not Solyndra it’s that they’re pissed because there is a black man in the oval office”
This is why the liberal talk shows fail in this country they have nothing but lies and insults. |

Since the media isn't dwelling on this story, it really isn't a disaster for Oblamer. That's a shock!

I agree with you in part but please look at this article and tell me who that is in the photo? It sure isn't congress:
http://money.cnn.com/2011/09/09/technology/solyndra_fbi/
Obama attached himself to these clowns, don't try and pass all the blame to Congress, had Obama been doing his job, instead of pandering to the green crowd, we would not be talking about it. |

And we just might be paying at least a teensy weensy amount to the global warming "science".

the Solyndra loan was part of Obama's stimulus, it all belongs to him, some in Congress tried to stop it, some just whined about the party of no

There is no effective governance.
Even now we can't even get a transportation bill together because everyone has to add a bunch of social issues and bullshit until it becomes some omnibus piece of shit and someday after it barely resembles transportation it gets passed at the very last minute in order to not shut down the nations transportation system.
Pick an issue and the solution will closely follow the above pattern of incompetent compromise that is used for political fodder to try and seize more power. Dems blame Reps, and vice versa, and our country is going down the drain while they argue instead of working.
Just trying, without accomplishing anything, is like just trying to make a budget for three years has been.
The GOP doesn't want to craft one any more than the Dems or they would be hammering it. No - It's so much easier to send shit sandwiches to Harry Reed and complain he won't take a bite while the President sends shit sandwiches to Harry Reed for the Republicans and complains when they won't take a bite.
Meanwhile our credit rating tanks, our deficit soars, our economy nosedives, and our morale is spent.
I see a whole lot of fuckups pointing a whole lot of fingers but I sure as hell don't see anyone producing results.
The Republicans can't make government work again anymore than the Democratics can; so except for their fatal flaw they are a wash. Social issues will keep the GOPhers from gaining total control like they covet and the Democratic President will end up forcing the day and getting US back in the saddle again.

Just because I see the truth does not mean I must go out and destroy others property to express my revelation.
I stopped chainsawing billboards down before I could shave.
I don't really think Obama will get US back in the saddle again: I am hopeful we will stop screwing each other and start working together more and more like is happening now out in reality land in spite of the political bickering in DC.
The Republicans had a historic chance to seize power across the board and frankly you guys blew it with social issues.
Obama will be re-elected.
America will reject dinosaur policy for the status quo.
You guys will be struck dumbfounded by the show.

| Quote: | Democratic National Cronyism
Dem convention co-chair’s company received $230.4M in stimulus money, hired Podesta Group to lobby
BY: Andrew Stiles - February 17, 2012 5:00 am
Jim Rogers, the co-chairman and lead fundraiser for the Democratic National Convention host-committee, is well versed in the art of political cronyism.
Rogers, the CEO of Duke Energy Corp., one of the largest utility corporations in the country, has given generously to Democratic politicians over the years. Along with his wife, Mary Anne, he has contributed more than $210,000 to Democratic candidates and committees since 2008, more than double what the couple has given to Republicans. Of that figure, more than $150,000 went to the Democratic National Committee (DNC); $19,200 went to President Obama.
Rogers is co-chairing the host committee with Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx (D), who was elected to a second term in November 2011. Rogers and his wife both contributed $8,000 to Foxx’s campaign, the maximum allowed under state law.
Rogers has also done his part to make sure that the convention has access to plenty of cash. The Charlotte Observer reported that Rogers was “quietly raising” as much as $15 million for the DNC.
Additionally, in an effort to entice the DNC to Charlotte, Rogers and Duke Energy offered to open a $10 million line of credit—guaranteed by Duke shareholders—to help finance the convention.
Duke spokesman Tom Williams told the Washington Free Beacon that the offer of credit was made in the hopes of strengthening Charlotte’s application. “It’s all part of our effort to showcase the city of Charlotte,” Williams said. “Nothing more, nothing less.”
Asked if the credit line had been utilized, a host committee official replied, “not to my knowledge,” adding, “In theory, we raise the $36.6 million. The line of credit is just that. We’re obligated to pay it all back.”
Meanwhile, organizers of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., say they don’t anticipate needing a line of credit.
“There’s a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and support for the 2012 Republican National Convention,” said convention spokesman James Davis. “Therefore, we have no credit lines in place or plans to borrow money.”
Just as Rogers has helped fund Democratic politicians, they, in turn, have helped steer massive amounts of federal funding to Duke Energy. The 2009 stimulus package, for instance, was a boon for the company: Duke received federal grants totaling $230.4 million for a number of “green” energy projects including “smart grid” development and wind energy storage.
According to Recovery.gov, Duke created 196.6 jobs as a result of the grants.
The company also received a $350,000 grant to assist General Motors in the development of the Chevrolet Volt, the poorly selling electric vehicle that the Obama administration has recently proposed subsidizing at a rate of $10,000 per car.
Rogers’ support for the president’s “green” agenda earned him a spot on the short list to become President Obama’s Energy Secretary.
Though headquartered in Charlotte, Duke maintains an active presence in Washington, D.C., having spent more than $26 million lobbying the federal government on energy-related issues since 2007.
In 2009, the company enlisted the services of the Podesta Group, a lobbying firm founded by John Podesta, the former president of the Center for American Progress and co-chairman of the Obama-Biden transition team, and his brother Tony Podesta. Since then, Duke Energy has paid the firm $860,000 to lobby to “support the passage of climate change and energy legislation” and “energy efficiency and clean energy solutions,” according to a database maintained by the Senate Office of Public Records.
The Duke Energy Political Action Committee, which has tended to give more to Republicans in the past, reversed that trend in 2010, giving $260,000 to Democratic candidates following the passage of the stimulus, compared with just $209,000 to Republicans.
The Washington Free Beacon noted last week that the convention host-committee is operating under very strict fundraising restrictions, refusing to accept money from corporations, lobbyists, or other special interest groups such as unions.
However, these self-imposed restrictions did not prevent Rogers from accompanying convention CEO Steve Kerrigan, a former national political director for Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), to Washington, D.C. for a meeting with high-powered lobbyists.
Bloomberg reported that Rogers and Kerrigan were touting an array of expensive convention “packages,” including premium hotels rooms and concierge service, aimed at ultra-wealthy donors. A convention spokesperson said they were simply “educating Beltway types about the new rules.”
The host committee has been charged with raising $36.6 million to help cover a portion of the convention costs. Given the new restrictions, including a $100,000 limitation on individual donations, the goal will be difficult to reach.
For instance, of the $61 million the DNC raised for its 2008 convention in Denver, Colo., more than 70 percent came from donations of $250,000 or higher. Nearly a quarter of the convention’s funding came from just 12 donations of more than $1 million. Union groups alone gave $8.3 million (14 percent). Contributions of $100,000 or less—this year’s limit—accounted for only 5 percent of the total.
It is unclear whether the host committee is having trouble meeting its fundraising target. A committee official told the Free Beacon there were no plans to publicly release fundraising figures before the FEC-mandated deadline of one month following the convention.

Obama blames Congress for failed solar firm

The fact is EVERY member of the GOP in the House voted against it. Only 3 members in the Senate voted for it. If the GOP does not use this type of thing against 0bammer in campaign ads, they deserve to lose to a "community organizer" again.
The 0bammer administration thinks everyone is as stupid as the lefty's around here!
