Obama's Solyndra Fiasco
The Washington Times ^ | November 5 | Henry D'Andrea

Posted on 11/07/2011 4:45:32 AM PST by conservativeforpalin

President Obama’s latest failed stimulus story has expanded significantly, as White House documents are now being subpoenaed by Congress over the $535 million taxpayer-funded loan given to now-bankrupt and FBI-raided Solyndra.

The Solyndra loan was a disgusting and unethical smokescreen designed to propagandize the American public into thinking Obama was serious about job creation. The degree of crony capitalism behind the loan has not been sufficiently explored by the mainstream media.

The cronyism started in the months prior to the approval of the Solyndra loan by the Department of Energy in March of 2009, when billionaire and Obama bundler, George Kaiser, held numerous meetings with the White House about the pending loan.

George Kaiser holds the biggest stake in the now defunct Solyndra.

Question:

What if it were President George Bush and Solyndra?

(Quite a double-standard among all those visceral, psychotic mutts in the Progressive press.)

IMHO

As this dead rat in the road continues to ripen with a ghastly sight and aroma overwhelming everything else in the news...I can’t help but think how an event like this during a Conservative Presidency would long since have impeachment imminent and the President on energetic and non-stop damage control.

Nixon was went packing over less ... but that is just my opinion!

This man (Obama) is a disgrace to the office of President.

Corruption is his middle name.
Lies and deceit his product for trade.

His named project Obamacare is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the country with perhaps the exception of his election.

Just like the vanishing war protesters once Obama came to office. Suddenly no more bumper stickers, "End this senseless war"

Then Obama goes on to own the list of fatalities, more than under Bush, and the press is quiet. No more clamoring to take flag-draped casket pictures of the returning fallen soldiers. No more numbering the days of the Iraq war at the beginning of each nightly network broadcast.

Amazing how sanitized the coverage became once Obama came to office.

“Amazing how sanitized the coverage became once Obama came to office.”

The fifth column is already in the city.

(The stink coming from these “journalists” and their connection with this administration are becoming unbearable.)

IMHO
