RE :”
Obviously, we wish Solyndra hadnt gone bankrupt, Obama said. But understand: This was not our program per se.
Congress Democrats and Republicans put together a loan guarantee program because they understood historically that when you get new industries, its easy to raise money for start-ups, but if you want to take them to scale, oftentimes theres a lot of risk involved, and what the loan guarantee program was designed to do was to help start up companies get to scale, he said.
Obama mischaracterizes congressional support for the program, however. The loan to Solyndra was not part of a program developed by both Republicans and Democrats. Rather, it was entirely funded through the 2009 Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which did not receive any GOP votes.”
I knew there was an explanation for this. Republicans forced Solyndra on Obama. It couldn't be Obama's fault anymore than gas prices are.
Megyn Kelly said she will report on this next hour.

The Tea Party made a HUGE mistake.....they should have gone to D.C., ignored the Democrats, then castigate & villify the Republicans in the House & Senate, Boehner and McConnell in PARTICULAR!!!!
The GOP, if they had of had the BALLS, could have, on a daily basis, ridiculed Obama out of office by now. Obama commits a DAILY LIE or ATROCITY, and all we get is crickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
