White House Video Praising Solyndra as a Recovery Act Success Story

[hookalakah]

The Bush administration deemed Solyndra a bad risk and denied it money. But the president of the company was an Obama bundler and that's all that Obama needed to know. If the company failed, so what? It's green energy, and that's what counts. If the taxpayers are out half a billion dollars, just tell them to suck it up and throw more money at another untested green energy folly. Explain the failure away as an activity that we won't cede to the Chinese. That's the Obama way.

[memama2]

"because we got the funding" .....this idiot knows this is a cash cow for his families bank account. He is just an obot liar not to proud to grift off tax payer retirements so this dim douche GET'$ HI$! ...... the rest of us? we're bucked.

[themunz126]

Must be what Debbie Wasserman Schultz is talking about when she says that everyone knows how good Obama did.

[AssHatSockPuppet]

The money went to all the OweBama cronies.

Sure the pessimists say the taxpayers LOST a half billion dollars,

But look at the bright side, some OweBama supporters GAINED a half billion dollars!

[klg1956]

$O,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO,OOO­,OOO,OOO,OOOBAMA! His policies are a failure, his jobs spending initiatives are failures, his albatross of debt will hang for decades around our necks; maybe forever, if we are unable to recover. Obama helped cause the financial crisis (ACORN lawyer who sued lending institutions for not lending to unqualified borrowers). His fingers are all over Chicago Climate Exchange--cap and trade in the wings waiting to annihilate the U.S.

[ChimpBama]

Solyndra is what OweBama is all about. The Government "investing" in Green Energy jobs that the private sector would never touch.

Investing = Spending Tax Dollars

Green Energy = Businesses run by contributors & cronies

Solyndra -This is what happens when you run out of other people's money.

[klg1956]

@ChimpBama And don't forget, when Solyndra went belly up the first creditor in line to receive payment after bankruptcy is the Democrat National Committee. How is that possible? Why are they a creditor? and how did they become a creditor and the 1st creditor? Money laundering, fraud, taxpayer money will probably be used to buy lawyers for these crooks, cronies of Barack's.

[Depotman122]

Such an inspiring uplifting story. You guys said Obama didn't know what he was doing.

They what?

Went bankrupt?

Never mind

[btwall60]

This makes Watergate look like a picnic. Owebummer belongs in jail with the rest of his Liberal buddies

[clasterfan]

I've heard a lot about "saving the middle class" lately. Want to save the middle class? Stop spending $500 million of middle class tax money on risky loans to play favorites with "alternative" energy. Ignoring the risk of the loans? This is what caused the housing/financial crisis...

[johnlorican]

@clasterfan ...Amen!

[SilverFox466]

What a joke!  Impeach Obama.

[AssHatSockPuppet]

I let my Mexican Drug Lord License expire and I missed out on OweBama's Fast & Furious free machine gun give away.

Is it too late to "bundle" for OweBama's re-election campaign and get any of these 1/2 billion dollar "green loans"?

[Boomer1947]

litle by little the marxist muslim boy from kenya is meeting his waterloo

[FalconM1970]

Without the protection of his media buddies, this would be Obama's Enron. He visited the plant, made a photo op to show that Green Jobs were real. His delusion cost a 1000 people their jobs. 500 million dollars.... ah, that's just taxpayer money.

[platipot]

ЕБАМА

[tomthefunky]

NBC will protect Obama. They're in the green racket as well.

[grstett]

Obumer and Pelosi strike again!!! This reeks of corruption! I'm so sick of their crap!

[ChimpBama]

This a perfect demonstration of OweBama Economics.

Sure Taxpayers may have LOST 1/2 billion dollars but on the up side OweBama supporters GAINED 1/2 billion dollars.

[LordKelvin100]

@ChimpBama: Meh, a half-billion here, a half-billion there, and pretty soon you're talking some serious money.

[EndOfObama]

These guys are REALLY COOL. They should be in congress, themselves.

[AssHatSockPuppet]

We are out a half billion to an OweBama contributor "green investment" .

1,000 people LOST their job (or as the DEMs will spin it "Saved or created 4 million jobs")

Now our SCoaMF wants taxpayers to cough up another half trillion for some more crony stimulus spending?

ARE YOU KIDDING??

[wideawake123]

Over 1/2 a Billion of our taxpayer dollars just to grease a campaign contributor's palm. If they don't impeach him, the American people are going to go all "Tarir Square" soon.

[Thefreeheart]

Yeah 0 paying back for his rigged election... They took the money and ran!

[ZolfaThura]

The reason that we're in a depression is because the U.S. Government is propping up failed companies like Solyndra and General Motors while kicking the dogshit out of perfectly functioning ones like Gibson Guitar.

[ElTejon47901]

"What we do is take taxpayer money and turn into a giant money laundering scam."

[DewayneStorkman]

People in the Obama administration need to be fired for this. Whoever is responsible needs to pay with their job.

[DynamoRoberto]

Three words for the FBI and whoever else is investigating this scandal:

Follow - the - money

And if we don't trust Eric Holder to do the investigation (and who in their right mind would trust him) then it's time to call for an independent counsel.

[mmaddox461]

It's a money-laundering operation -- Obama gives $535 million to one of his billionaire buddies. The guy pockets $500 million and funnels $35 million back to Obama's campaign.

Nice and neat, except of course for the thousands of workers who lost their jobs in the scam.

[khunwick]

After 20 trips to the West Wing last year and a White House official at Solyndra meetings, the FBI is raiding the company's records to protect the Administration. Maybe they'll find one of the FBI's Gunwalker guns hidden there, or to shred the documents like the SEC shredded it's documents to hide fraud and waste.

[DTownzz]

Why did they need to build a factory, anyway?

There are many empty ones in that general area.

Reminds me of how many schools will demand funding for new buildings, but their towns are full of empty ones.

I know this is basic, but it was make-work and waste.

[vllmer]

hey...rescue solyndra by having it straw buy guns to foriegn countries! call it green gunwalker program! winning! production lines will spring up overnight! pass the bill now! pass the bill now! tiger's blood!

[Kerogas]

"hey...rescue solyndra by having it straw buy guns to foriegn countries! call it green gunwalker program! winning! production lines will spring up overnight! pass the bill now! pass the bill now! tiger's blood!""And by using available co-generation technology , we could turn that Iron River of Guns Fueling Border Violence ® into a reliable source of renewable hydroelectric energy , helping preserve precious natural resources , and cutting back on our nation's production of greenhouse gasses .

[vllmer]

@Kerogas synergistic equilibrium compounding! excellant! a consensus of world scientism cannot be wrong!

[uzimodem]

another libturd debacle. where did all that money go? and who was behind all this? Demturds of course.

[BarryDead]

Anybody seen $535 million around here? Obama's cronies took the money and ran.

[gotweird]

@BarryDead FBI was looking for it this morning, too!
