OBAMA CHUCKLES WHEN ASKED ABOUT WASTING TAX DOLLARS ON GREEN ENERGY
Breitbart ^ | 10-27-12 | Tony Lee

Posted on 10/28/2012 3:49:18 AM PDT by grimalkin

Barack Obama denied politics had anything to do with his administration's green-energy loans to companies like Solyndra and Abound, both of which have gone bankrupt. The President even chuckled when asked if those loans were a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Denver's News9 reporter Kyle Clark said in a Friday interview that Obama touted the "stimulus money going to Abound Solar" in a national address, but Abound Solar is "out of business and under criminal investigation" while the "jobs are gone and taxpayers are out about 60 million dollars."

I'm using an iPad right now and I hate the way copy and pasting works on this device.

Yeah he chuckels because, as taxpayers, we lost the money, the investors lost their money, but his campaign got a chunk of that money via the bunkrupt company exects’ campaign contributions.

I think there is a name for that type of money flow.

Hopefully his chuckling is about over.

Even though he has only partially fulfilled his mission to destroy our country he has hurt us badly.

I only hope Mitt Romney carries out investigation into his illegal campaign funds, his corruption and his real background. Hope is all I have however I don’t expect Mitt to do it. New Presidents have always given the outgoing President a pass.

I am impressed with local reporters doing the job national reporters won’t.

“New Presidents have always given the outgoing President a pass.”

We have an exception to that rule in our White House currently who never passes up an opportunity to blame Bush.

Obama chuckled, saying only "four percent" of green-energy loans went to companies like Abound Solar and Solyndra. Since those decisions are made by the Department of Energy, he reasoned, "they have nothing to do with politics."

Oh, knowing that the Secretary of Energy, that little $4!t Dr. Steven Chu, has nothing to do with politics really eases my mind. /s

A Chu quote:

"We appreciate the support the loan programs have received from many members of Congress — including nearly 500 letters to the department — who have urged us to accelerate our efforts and to fund worthy projects in their states,” Chu will say.

Of course politicians appreciate handouts to their states, Chu, whether they are worthy or not. Money is money. It always looks good.

Intentionally naive geniuses tick me off.

The photo of Obama at the link, it looks like he was picking his nose and laughing about what he found.

I think there is a name for that type of money flow.

It was a combination Ponzi Scheme and money-laundering operation, financed by taxpayers, and for which people ought to go to jail. No one ever will, though. That only happens to people in the private sector.
