Corruption: Outrageous bonuses and White House stonewalling guarantee that the Solyndra scandal, in which betting on green lost taxpayers $535 million, won't go away. But Solyndra is no isolated failure.

At first, I thought obama was a dyed in the wool muslim. Now I realize he is just a shakedown artist from the chicago/cook county mafia. He’s had plenty of mentors with shady backgrounds to draw experience from.
Pretty soon you can add Lightsquared and probably the scammer behind it, Harbinger Capital, to the list. They’re on the edge of BK now that the GPS industry and users are holding the bought-and-paid-for FCC to account. Even Obama’s own NTIA could no longer stand by and hold their nose while this stinker went on. The only good news is it’s mostly private investors who are getting screwed by this crony deal rather than taxpayers.
Why don’t you little people shut the **** up and go pay your taxes?
Your government is broke. :)
“Transparency” means you can’t see it.
You people really are stupid. :)
The entire federal government has been converted into a vast money making scam for the Chicago Machine.
Many billions have been stolen in last three years to crony capitalists and other democrat party hacks.
