This is nothing more than a records seizure to cover the Obozo’s ass.

I often ask why, if “Big Oil” is so evil for “gouging” us with oil prices,

Then why are these “Green” energy companies heroes for charging even nore for energy plus they get subsidized by us?

Because all liberals know how to do is waste money.

I was talking to a liberal shoestring relative this weekend and we got on the subject of solar energy. He actually thought wearing “solar panels” would be a good way to produce clean energy.

Environmentalism is a minor religion to him, and I couldn’t convince him that the amount of energy produced by solar PV was never going to supply any significant amount of our electricity needs. Further, he didn’t seem to grasp the idea that it took more energy to produce a solar PV panel than you’d ever get back out of it in its lifetime.

I guess they think solar panels are made by some solar panel fairies or something.

Skippy the Echolocating Wonderbat won’t be happy with this.
He’ll slap down the FBI in any petty way he can.

Not if the FBI is doing, as we suspect, a document seizure as a coverup FOR 0bama.

Here you can see the ignorance and stupidity of the Obama administration.

Graft, extortion and conversion are only stupid if you don't own the cops.

You can bet they won’t use a solar-powered shredder.

Because “Big Oil” is “subsidized” and “green energy” is an “investment”.

You need re-education camp, comrade.

This story is simply incredible.

Think about it - in less than two years, a money bundler for Obama - whose people visited the White House regularly, blew through over half a billion dollars!! Not only that, they got a preferential rate of just over 1% interest!!!

I think that nitwit Jay Carney said something like “ well, they aren't all successful!” meaning these green businesses. Hey - Jay - flash - they all fail! It is just a matter of time. If they were profitable, they wouldn't need your stinkin loans!

Let's Drill, Frack, Dig (coal) and fire up the Nukes! They all make money, jobs and energy!

“A little more than a year ago, President Obama hailed Solyndra during a tour of the company, saying it expected to hire 1,000 workers and make enough panels over the lifetime of its planned expanded facility that it would be like replacing eight coal-fired power plants.”

Then he loans them $500M of our money. If it was so great, why did they need the money from gov’t? What a fool. Obama is the anti-King Midas.

“Read the article if you want to see if it’s wrong or not.

which received a $535 million loan from the federal government.”

Sigh - True Freepers know that it is frowned upon to edit the title of the column. I posted EXACTLY what the title said.

Once again, go look at blaming someone else as you attempt to purge society.
