Dr. Chu Gives testimony
4 your country ^ | 11/17/2011 | 4Yourcountry

..... Congressman: Oh, yes, I have heard that. Very good point. But I am wondering.... You are responsible for effectively spending $70B. Do you think your decision to double down, and then failing, might make the american people worry about your other decisions. I mean the other investments you might be making.

Dr. Chu: Put that way Congressman, I can see them worrying, but we have a very good team now and the mistakes will be minimized......

Trusting our money with a guy that wants to paint all roads, parking lots, and roofs white to stop global warming what could possibly go wrong?

Congressman: Just one more Question. Your team did deep and complete due diligence on the Solyndra investment. And in the end, all that analysis was wrong. If you are wrong on Solyndra, should the American people be worried that you are wrong about Climate Change? You can model the global climate but not investment risk?

Yep.

Well, to Dr Chu it’s all academic.

Not like it actually came out of HIS pocket. The world of theory has no business being in charge of reality.

Chu belongs behind bars, with the rest of the Obama administration. I suggest we free the jihadists in GTMO and use that facility.

Rest assured that come January 2013 Chu will be riding away on Chattanooga Choo Choo, to chew over his past decisions!

Chu is the biggest zero since Jethro Bodine invented the nought. Even some academics I know say the guy is clueless and in way over his head

If these fascists like Europe so much, then why don’t they go live there?

The big picture here is this. Let’s just say he did do this on his own. Knowing he had the authority to do this alone is disturbing, as much as the truth is.
