Barack Obama, Flim-Flam Man
Powerline ^ | 9-17-11 | John Hinderaker

Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy has an important column in which he argues that the Solyndra fiasco is not just a garden-variety scandal, but a criminal fraud that should land someone, inside and/or outside of the Obama administration, in the slammer.

The facts are very bad. Solyndra was a money-loser from beginning to end. Its business model was untenable. The Bush administration turned it down for funding. Its owners wanted to do a public offering; for that purpose, they had to have their books audited and a report written by PriceWaterhouseCoopers. The report was more or less an obituary for the company:

[O]utside auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) found that condition to be dire. “The company has suffered recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows since inception, and has a net stockholders’ deficit,” the PWC accountants concluded. Even with the gigantic Obama loan, Solyndra was such a basket case that PWC found “substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.”

...”The U.S. Justice Department, a tool of Obama’s tyranny, is engaging in a cover-up of the criminal acts of its own hierarchy and of the President himself regarding this Solyndra rip-off”...

I believe there is a phrase which applies to these situations which goes something like this..”It is the fox guarding the henhouse.”

I have always thought that might be the case..But, they will try to find a way to blame the other side.

I’ll never forget the scene in the movie where the farmer is running just as fast as he can because he thinks he’s got the wallet with the money. That’s the Democrats.
