@meltdown53 NASA has become a branch of our propaganda wing. Those of us watching this kind of thing have understood this for awhile. We've watched them promote bad science, and used to reinforce the global warming fraud, and now their main mission is to propagandize to Muslims. It's a very sad state of affairs....

JFK is rolling in his grave.

Such terrible terrible waste. Such huge government spending on window dressing.

This is not how jobs are "created." Jobs come from industry and private enterprise. Please, stop this insanity! this kind of government-centered nonsense is crushing the spirit of American progress and freedom-driven economics.

@squidly1117 Are you suggesting that that is the president's fault? You're going to have to explain yourself.

If that is what you're suggesting, Obama cannot impel a company to operate at a loss. Not unless they're a government run company like UPS, or Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. And I'm pretty sure Abound isn't.

@inamerica55585 3:00 Abound solar laid off 280 people today and cancelled plans for the Indiana plant proposing 1200 workers.

Allow me to retort every single one of you at once: NONE OF THE BAD THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WERE ACTUALLY OBAMA'S FAULT. They were all events that he could not control and would have been fascistic to try and control.

@PjPony123 The bill never even came before the president. It was always voted down in committee. If you actually googled HR5741 like I did, you would know this.

@FreedomsReigning Heads up, we are running out of oil, and oil companies are spending millions every year trying to convince us that global warming is a fraud in order to protect their profits. Tobacco companies did the same kind of discrediting towards research showing their products caused cancer. Creationists do the same thing today when they discredit evolution. Oil companies ARE in the business of diseducating our population and of killing the planet. It's time to stop them.

It took us 8 years to get here, atleast give the guy another two.

@PjPony123 nah....I will support Obama in 2012 all the way...

[PjPony123]

All Obama supporters, look up HR5741 for his plans for your future. Two years MANDATORY military or community service if you are between 18 and 42. He planned and spoke on this before the election. Think before your next vote.

@FreedomsReigning If you read history Progressivism was developed as a way implement fascism. Progressivism was a economic political way to implement corporatism/governement cooperation to shape and manipulate social agendas We have been duped for 100 years and this old progressive ideology does not work. every progressive program implemented has created more debt and destruction. ss is broke, medicare, broke, medical, broke, welfare, broke, all entitlements broke.

"all hands on deck, Mr Obama you have been vacationing since you have been in office. my husband has been out of work and my business is hanging by a thread and you have been traveling, playing golf, basketball, hanging out with Paul and Tiger. Um you say that Republicans are playing same old politics. Well is the new politic just to go on vacation? Also the 2 billion to 2 solar plants one of the companies is going bankrupt and can't hire. 2 billion to power 70,000 homes? gov waste!!!
