If these were Rs instead of Ds, they’d all be behind bars by now.

At this point, one has to look back at Watergate and ask, "Nixon resigned? Over that?? That was nothing!"

AVIATION PING

Study: LightSquared network ‘incompatible’ with GPS

By Dan Namowitz

A special advisory committee will issue a report that validates the aviation community’s concerns about threats to GPS by a proposed broadband communications network.

The committee, part of the not-for-profit organization RTCA that serves as a federal advisory panel on navigation and air-traffic management policy, issued a summary of its report May 26 stating its conclusion that elements of the cellular network proposal by LightSquared are “incompatible” with aviation because of potential GPS signal interference. It added that modifications could be made “to allow the LightSquared system to co-exist with aviation use of GPS.”

Y’know, the good General already has his fourth star. He could become a national hero by submitting his retirement papers and taking this public at the first opportunity.

What the heck is going on? Obama is becoming mired in scandals such as this and Solyndra??? And these are being reported in the MSM??? What the heck???

Nancy Pelosi said that the Republicans had a culture of corruption. What does she think of this? Obama is a good Democrat.

I think Obama has a solid lock on the "worse than Jimmy Carter" Award.

At this point, he 's probably going to win the "worse than Warren G. Harding" Award -- because people will remember that Harding got a slow economy to turn into a boom.

Emails Show Wireless Firm’s Communications with White House as Campaign Donations Were Made

More than 300 pages of documents detail trail of LightSquared requests for meetings with White House officials, some citing friendships

Hedge fund owner Philip Falcone, the majority owner of LightSquared Kevin Wolf/AP

Wireless firm LightSquared pressed its case for government approval of a new national broadband network in numerous contacts with presidential aides, at times citing its fundraising for Democratic causes and President Obama, White House emails show.

On the day that LightSquared CEO Sanjiv Ahuja made a $30,400 contribution to the Democratic Party, two of his deputies appealed to the White House for meetings with top technology advisers to Obama, according to emails obtained by iWatch News .....

“At this point, one has to look back at Watergate and ask, “Nixon resigned? Over that?? That was nothing!” “

You are absolutely right. It’s so funny that we hear all the time about how being a minority targets you for police harassment etc., but one of the most profound preferential treatment issues in the US is that between people with a D vs. an R after their name.

Oh man! Jennifer Griffin just reported on this on Fox News, and it certainly appears that the Regime favored yet another big donation bundler, this time directly compromising National Security.

Fast and Furious, Solyndra, unemployment, and one security compromise after another......

I also read that berry had invested $50,000.00 dollars in this company back in 2005. Did he get out of this or does he still have skin in the game?

"And these are being reported in the MSM??? "

Oh, this is nothing. Dan Quayle misspelled "potatoe" and remember, he was a Republican.

Now that's a real scandal!

He “misspelled” it because a teacher gave him the flashcards.
