Fast and furious mostly involves ATF bosses and people around the Attorney General. I can’t seem them ever briefing the White House on this or anyone in the administration. However, the solar energy scandal involves several key players in the administration and will make them look pretty stupid, and perhaps even idiots at any business concept. There is a difference between the two, and I seriously doubt that they wanted the solar company to fail (at least until after the 2012 election period).

I’m suspicious, just like you. This occurred to me.

Compared to, “black rich guys killing poor brown people with machine-guns” almost ANYTHING sounds better.

It’s kind of amazing that you don’t see the Solyndra situation as a scandal. Are you financially involved with them?

Solyndra could be frighteningly serious because there is the potential that some of that US$535 million in loan guarantees to the company may have been diverted to Obama's 2012 political campaign. Now that's embezzlement on a scale that is unimaginable....

The Yahoo! spin on the AP story is that the Obama Administration was just too darn eager to try to save the American economy.

The notion that they could be incompetent, or even more absurd - corrupt, is not even to be considered by the media.
