AttackWatch ? most of the public are wondering ? was that supposed loan money that was not accounted for by Congress and lent to Solyndra actually for Obama’s political cronies and campaign slush fund money ? we want you to investigate these allegations.

" Choking on my morning coffee with laughter! "

Perhaps that is what Jimma Hoffa meant as their plan and strategy to " to take them out " .... If this true ? Attackwatch ? we want you to look into this.

Ohh yeah ? Attackwatch ? we feel it's discriminatory that Saturn and Jupiter has more moons than earth, can we file a law suit in court against both planets Saturn and Jupiter ?

Google “attackwatch.com” and go to news stories.

This may be the biggest public blunder by a president in the history of the nation.
