New ads targeting President Barack Obama’s involvement with $535 million in federal loan guarantees to Solyndra, which subsequently went bankrupt, have hit television markets in several all-important swing states.

Americans for Prosperity is paying for the $2 million-plus ad campaign, which features a video clip, titled "Obama's Green Giveaway," in which Obama declares: “The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra.”

Story continues below video.

WATCH THE VIDEO:Obama's Green Giveaway

The ad, which depicts the president amid a backdrop of a fictitious newspaper called Solyndra News, notes that wealthy donors with ties to the solar company gave Obama hundreds of thousands of dollars. In return, Solyndra, a business the White House knew to be on a path to bankruptcy, received taxpayer loan money, the campaign alleges.

SNIP

Last week, a House panel voted to subpoena the White House for emails and other documents related to Solyndra, the solar panel maker that subsequently went bankrupt, and the FBI raided it.

The subcommittee vote in the Republican-controlled House means the White House — unless it invokes executive privilege — may be asked to turn over a broad range of emails, including any received about Solyndra on Obama's personal Blackberry.

I sent $50 to AFP for this...AFP is advertising in Miami, Florida...the Miami media has not said a damn word about Solyndra!

So essentially, AFP is educating the people of Florida more than the "journalists" from the tv and newspapers of the city!

I still say that a debate between Cain and UnAble-Obama will be the final blow to Obama.

We The People are not falling for these Cain Allegations ... the Media failed to scrutinize Clinton and Obama ... they’re over playing their hand ... and we are not accepting the allegations as accurate ... after all, we’ve been introduced to the Code of Ethics they fail to follow.

And we’ve read Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals which they DO follow.
