Why does Anyone think obama cares about American jobs?!

Are you comparing private companies that use their own money to companies receiving federal funding? I want to keep jobs in America as much as anyone, but private and public can't be comapred.

Dumb-ass remarks Mr. Issa....

The same complaint could be made about the outsourcing of production by almost any other 'ALL-American Company'.

No wonder the US is in trouble! The Chinese invest $42 billion in solar, but Mr. Issa chides the DOE for investing small pocket change in solar!

So you see why America is now owned by the Chinese! Attack one of the few truly American solar companies....even though oil addiction is the biggest factor wiping out the American household budget.

An indirect answer to a direct question and NOW lets hear from the Libtards in the comments section! This is going to be good! If money was given from MY tax dollar and we only generated maybe 500 jobs here but 2260 over seas and then the CEO says even though MOST of the jobs are over seas they are still AMERICAN JOBS? Does he think everyone is stupid to swallow that crap! Yeah those overseas jobs will create a few here like warehouse and trucker part time jobs but they work full time overseas!
