Pr. Obama at Solyndra (1) California Solar Plant

[RonaldBlair]

Obama is the only president in history to have completely hidden his past history (at the cost of millions) he even surrendered his LAW license to avoid investigation- an honest or decent man would NOT do this- GOOGLE “LARRY SINCLAIR” to hear Obama’s old friend (he has pics to prove their friendship) talk about their criminal past- Obama has tried to setup & smear Larry as a liar but somehow I believe Larry because Obama has deliberately & intentionally hidden his past-Obama is a FRAUD

[Nodagsman]

Vote for Obama.... Right... Obama was funded by BP. Look at the deep sea horizon oil disaster.. Bush cited BP, 6x for safety violations. Look how, how everything he touches turns to crap.

[LameBrainMcCain]

Obama could have invested $1 billion in Solyndra and lost even more!! But he didn't!! Because he is one smart mofo!! Vote for Obama in 2012!!

[happystance1able]

@Andrew598895 >>wie gehts???<<

LOL

[wyecee]

We're going tinted green. As Rick Perry quoted "Obama's a manure spreader in a windstorm".

[nureallycool]

This is why I haven't supported the "green movement' so far :I

[duranduran8485]

why can obama just go die!

[happystance1able]

Die Fuhrer habt seines VolksSolarArbeitGeschaftsWerke­n inspekten und hat es gepproven. Diese ist vor seine grosser Plan hab geflunked. Heil Obama! Langes leben anders seiner Ego! Heil unser Fuhrer, Obama! Wir sind seine Militare! Heil Obama! Sagen diese worten zuzammen! Ja Wir Kan! Ja Wir Kan!

[cleantechms]

Solyndra deserves what it is getting, but this is tragic for solar, renewable energy, and cleantech in general. Another aspect of the PR debacle is Solyndra's miserable failing at social media crisis management. It's kinda shocking, but then not so shocking.

bit.ly /SolyndraFacebookFail

[AntiquityCentury21]

@cleantechms I appreciate you being level-headed, but many of us who watched this spectacle were not fooled at the time. The red flags were there, yet the President chose to forge ahead anyway (even promoting Solyndra as a symbol of our recovery). Now, you don't have to wonder why people are skeptical about the President's new plan, not even for those that were originally skeptical from the get-to. We will make technological progress but we still need fossil fuels in the near future.

[madass888]

Obama is a scammer.

$535,000,000 THAT DOUCHE BAG OBAMA HAS COST US!!!

[JoeLoro]

*** I recently saw an episode of South Park where they were coming up with the "funniest joke ever" (the 'fish sticks' episode) .... BUT I HAVE THE FUNNIEST JOKE OF ALL TIME.... Here it is, feel free to spread it around: "OBAMA" - HAHAHAHA! I'm rolling on the floor laughing my ass off at that joke... it never gets old... OBAMA!!! HHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHA

[381MEDALLION]

i could not put it all this in the last post. are u a capitalist or not?? why hate on china's solar panels,which u called ''cheap knock-offs''? their business is efficient and growing.i would strongly suggest, that u stop reading The New Times, so much and read other papers!!

[123Questionman]

Just like Fauz News viewers; all hot air and NO facts. The Revenue for ALL Solar industries DROPPED +%80 thanks to the $500 BILLION investment from China in the last two years to flood the market with cheap knock offs.

WHERE IS THE FAIR AND BALANCED REPORTING ON THIS?

none! just keep blaming the black man for everything!

[381MEDALLION]

@123Questionman hey don't slam Fox news viewers, because the black man u voted for failed ok. all media sources are biased, not just Fox news, and get ur facts straight before u comment on here. this is the biggest capital venture bust in history, thanks to Obama. china would never invest money in a defunct american company, but the u.s. taxpayers did; this green energy company mishandled a $535 million dollar govt. loan, and has little to show for it!!

[123Questionman]

What a bunch a retarded racist assholes you are.

" It had applied for government loans during the Bush administration. That administration dragged their feet or sat on the deal because the financials did not make sense. "

The Bush Administration had given tentative approval prior to Obama's inauguration. Solyndra had been well-funded privately and the Bush Administration was pushing for the loan guarantee. .

[2012vote]

@123Questionman What a retarded racist assholes you are. Obama owns this one all by his little lonesome. Just wait the whole story is yet to told. The results of the Congressional probe shared Tuesday with ABC News show that less than two weeks before President Bush left office, on January 9, 2009, the Energy Department's credit committee made a unanimous decision NOT!!! to offer a loan commitment to Solyndra.

[123Questionman]

@2012vote The DOE oversight is extensive and the due diligence is thorough. If you think the GOP will get many Americans to believe that some company just duped the government into giving them a billion dollars you are delirious. Most folks cannot even sneak $20 by the IRS, but you want us to believe Solyndra just tricked everybody or that it's All Obama's? please!

[2012vote]

@123Questionman It is so sad to see someone stuck on stupid. How old are you? Two months before Obama’s visit, accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP warned that Solyndra had financial troubles deep enough to “raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.” Because of idiots like you Obama figures he can get away with it. Both Geigtner and Summers warned him. Even the NY Times said this one is on Obama. Don't be so gullible Obama is incompetent. DEAL WITH IT.

[jgehb]

@2012vote - well said. The warnings had been made about Solyndra, but our government did not want to be confused by the facts ... it had already made up its mind. @123Questionman and others like you - stop listening to what politicians tell you ... they only tell you what you want to hear in order to get re-elected. Get the TRUTH via a non-partisan third party.

[123Questionman]

@2012vote It is about pointing out that republicans have significantly changed their tune on this whole program. Because when it was Bush's idea to completely overhaul the regulations specifically so solyndra could be included? Republicans just loved that idea. But now it is Obama's baby? It's as ridiculous as suggesting that it is Obama's economy alone. It's being obtuse.

The reason the media isn't all over it is for the exact reasons. It's not a scandal.

[USAFORMERUSMC]

Half billion taxpayer dollars spent to save 1000 green jobs equates to around $500,000 per employee. Time to get rid of this waste of presidential space. I cant wait for 2012.

NA NA NA NA - NA NA NA NA - HEY HEY HEY, GOODBYEeeeeeeeee.

[irishsean2]

hey nigger  where s are money you gave your friends

[platipot]

@Reqrezentin

The rest is stolen too, motherfucker. (or cunt - your choice)

[danneyboy1000]

Huge nail in the coffin of his campaign. They keep pushing the hoax of man made global warming look what happens?

[Reqrezentin]

It's 1.3% of the whole Green energy package....

The rest is doing good you fuckers.

[beavis408]

only government could give a company half a billion dollars and still it goes bankrupt.

[mrbadx19]

hey, obama just added 2 jobs, Republican Mark Amodei in Nevada and Republican Bob Turner in New York got new jobs, thanks to pRESIDENT JACKASS!!! see you in the unemployment line soon Obozo!

[efrem1]

Everybody have a seat...forever!!!

[DraggDaddy]

What a Turd....and Turdinator!

[fastedu1]

LOL..EPIC FAIL

[gears2ownsall]

What a joke. Figures Arnold would be there.

[MUSTBUYRIGHT]

just another pay off under ( campaign investment system ) the only system that works in washington.

[ladylordess]

Now we know where the stimulus money goes. Into the Obama campaign.

The government doesn't make wise investments with our money. Social engineering is NOT what the government should be doing with our money, be it freddie, fannie, solyndra, etc.

[Beadwindow2020]

Asshole

[MrOne4truth]

This is Barry's perfect model for green jobs, nice!!

[talshiarr]

President Zero...turning anything he touches to crap every day of the year.

[AssHatSockPuppet]

Solyndra Green is People's.... money:

"One of Solyndra's major investors was George Kaiser, an Oklahoma billionaire who raised between $50000 and $100000 for Obama during ..."

A half a billion - GONE, green energy, crony capitalism

Our SCoaMF says " Sucks to be you taxpayers!"

[NCMan28025]

Obama gave this 'green jobs' corporation $500 Million and promised additional jobs would be 'created.' Now Solyndra is bankrupt and sending jobs to China. Obama fails at everything he pitches. Economy, economic recovery, health care reform, auto corporation takeovers. He is a total failure and this just adds to the proof. Keep reading the teleprompter President Fore.

[AssHatSockPuppet]

Green Energy, High Speed Trains, Climate Change & Bail Outs - all scams on the taxpayers

How fast can that SCOAMF bankrupt us?

[godzmanjesusanswers]

I could have taken the millions and made 200 people millionares and still files bankruptcy without building anything. Just Obama and his brain dead advisors yet again stealing tax payers money and all we hear is Oops. Makes me sick to my stomach how they can steal and keep giving the spin Solar will make us free.

[wideawake123]

Solyndra filed for bankruptcy today. There's that 'hope and change' working it's magic. Obama has the Midas touch in reverse. Everything he touches turns to S$%T.

[tk4227]

How can a business succeed if there is not a large enough demand for their product? Obama is so full of it.

[vllmer]

Just wondering, exactly where did the money go and who winds up owning the facilities?

[HangProgressives]

it was a slush fund

[ctb3386]

FAIL!!!!

[DwightSimpson]

On August 31, 2011 Solyndra, Inc. collapsed. Obama invested $535,000,000.00 in the company. Your investment has been lost. It is not the role of government to invest. It is the role of government of provide a level playing field so that private investors can assume the risk of any investment instead of the taxpayers.

Quit extending the role of government, Obama, that is not what you were elected to do. In 2012, vote Obama out. He is not in touch with reality.

THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE.

[brewmaster95060]

EPIC FAIL!!!

LOL!!!!

he gives a good speech tho

[ttatum]

How are those Green Jobs working out for you? The Feds blew $535mm on these after they declared bankruptcy. If we could get Obama to loose his job things would be looking up!

[Boomsmackme]

@ttatum thats a small fraction... of what was spent on the industry. Yeah by the way bush never made us lose money right? Oh yeah by the way.... oil has never had an issue right? Maybe worse than a fraction of the solar industry we subsidized going under... which happens. and will continue to happen in the world new industries fail or succeed. So is that a reason to give up on it ? Or were u just angry at obama already no matter what?

[timtatum1]

@Boomsmackme Here's a reason to give it up: They have over 14 trillion in debt and the debt is growing fast! Personally I never supported Bush. He spent way too much money. Gov't needs to stop giving money to all of them. Too much Corporatism. Watch what happens in Greece. That's your future.

[Boomsmackme]

@timtatum1 and you think that the republicans arent corporate? Lol... take your own gov back. stop listening to the hype. join the occupy movement. Go talk in the streets mak eour own decisions. Bush was fuckd up... guess what. hermain cain and all them wont b any better at least obama pretends to care about the peopple. and by the way. MAYBE IF CONGRESS WOULD LET HIM PASS ANYTHING INSTEAD OF FUCKING EVERYTHING UP, WED B IN BETTER SHAPE.

[rmed30]

@Boomsmackme : You are a 4 star ASS SNIFFER. So is anybody else that supports either the democrat or republican party.

[Boomsmackme]

@rmed30 good one.. lol who do u support alex jones? If you read my comment... i believe i said TAKE YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT BACK you fuckin retard... and never claimed allegiance to either party... learn to read before you talk to grown ups and quit getting you education from the internet. GO INTO THE REAL WORLD AND INTERACT AND LEARN HOW SOCIETY ACTUALLY FUNCTIONS. ITS NOT JUST A CONSPIRACY BECAUSE YOU WATCHED A YOU TUBE VIDEO. lol fuckin dumbass...

[rmed30]

@Boomsmackme : I don't support any main stream candidate because NONE of them have your best interests or the interest of the country in mind. If you think Obama is the answer than you are an illiterate, brain washed, imbecile fuck-pig! That's why I'm not going to vote this year. Why would I want to encourage the bastards?

[Boomsmackme]

@rmed30 once again pleace show me where i proclaimed allegiance to any side... or obama at all. lol your embarasing yourself honestly im being dead serious. you seem to have NO understanding of how ANYTHING works you are EXTREMELY paranoid im guessin pretty young and you seem to be super hyped up on youtube conspiracy documentaries. Theyre interesting i know, but the reason you have paved roads, decent wages, clean air and water... is because of your government, and our voting. go to school.

[rmed30]

@Boomsmackme : I would surmise that I have 2 - 5xs the education that you have. There is a reason we are bogged down with military in 50 countries. The roads suck. The economy is in the crapper. The air is unfit to breath, the water is unfit to drink, and the food is unfit to eat. The reason is because of inept, corrupt, self serving criminal cocksuckers that pass for elected officials. Voting is a con game whose only purpose is to provide you with the ILLUSION of choice......cockwipe!

[Boomsmackme]

@rmed30 This is my secnod comment so make sure u catch the first. i can tell ur not educated ... at all. because you are so on edge and behave so irrationally and unintelligently. The roads suck, guess who wants to pass a bill to save them? Obama... i agree with that part of what he does, guess who shot it down, congress. I want to support my president in doing WHAT I WANT. thats what i meant. Now you got ur education from you tube. and think the illuminati runs the world. What is your solution?

[rmed30]

@Boomsmackme : Where did you support Obama? Maybe when you sad "If congress would let him pass somethinig, we would all be in better shape" And you said it in ALL CAPS so I know you were REALLY MAD (douche). Anytime you hear the words "bipartisan" you should be aware that a larger than normal deception is in the works. Now fuck off and go read a book you illiterate son of a bitch

[Boomsmackme]

@rmed30 oh yeah what are your degrees? list then in the order you recieved them by name. i dare you. and your paranoia is the key to the problem here, and partially in our country. If you werent so paranoid and if u were as educated as you claim, you would understand. THE BILLS TO HELP OUR AIR AND WATER AND OUR COMMUNITIES OBAMA DOES DRAFT, THEN CONGRESS SHOOTS THEM DOWN. SO THE PERCEPTION HE IS DESTROYING THE WORLD, COMES FROM THAT. "inept, corrupt, self serving criminal" are the prob, i agree.

[rmed30]

@Boomsmackme :<----- This guy has no dick!

[Boomsmackme]

@rmed30 yes the response of a simple person. First since yours so impressionable you began arguing as i did since you cant think for yourself, i said go to school, you retorted with read a book. Now claiming to be a highly educated person when confronted with rational argument, you freak out and say something immature and... hardly insulting... lol. Id clown circles around you bro yours not shit, and i can be more articulate, and in real life id take ur girl and kick ur ass. GROW UP GO TO SCHOOL

[rmed30]

@Boomsmackme: "I'd clown circles around you bro yours not shit, and i can be more articulate." Yeah. You're articulate alright. You can even write a cogent sentence. And why do you keep writing in ALL CAPS? You're a faggot. Now go fuck your mother; that's the busted out, tired, old cunt in the bedroom next to yours.

[Boomsmackme]

@rmed30 to get through to a simple person like yourself. wow cogent! big word! i reduced to your level to show you. i own a house. in which i fuck girls... i suggest you try it itll relieve the tension you have built up towards... everyone. lol peace out loser keep pretending your really educated and that you know how the world operates. YOUR GONAN SAV US ALL!!!!! i left some typos so you can feel smart!

[stinky125]

Epic FAIL

[Blighto2]

Good that hes promoting clean energy sources. But can he really say that only America has the high technology and the best workers to achieve this? For example the orange robots in this factory are made by KUKA - a German company.

[isawanangel2]

i hope he's going directly to the gulf after this but this is nice to see, so SICK OF COAL, glad to see someone is thinking about the future/resources and the AIR we breathe, whew

[davetileguy]

@isawanangel2 Wheres your green jobs now? sucker! if you only count on youself you can't be let down!
