There have been two REPUBLICAN debates in the past week and I have Not heard one Candidate mention Fast and Furious,or Solyndra,so why should the media cover it if the Idiots running for President dont mention it?

The Chicago thugs thought they could make a company and get rich. We will probably find many friends of Barak invested small amounts and walked away with big profits, before this company folded. My instinct is Stock Fraud. They pumped it up and got out quick.

Like Barak and Rezko, somethings never change...

I smell Rahm all over this one.

Poor Rod-Blago and T-Rezko, they missed out on the latest Kenyan deal.

Oliver’s character Gekko in his latest Wall Street movie says Green is the next bubble. I would say he is correct.

-——535 million and the bass turds still go bankrupt.-——

I think you miss the point. The company was not in business to do business, the company existed to receive a half billion dollar loan. The reason for the company was to steal half a billion from the treasury.

Heads should roll...... literally. with dripping blood and all that goes with detached heads. Including and perhaps most important , placed on pikes for all to see for ever.

A lot of the 535 million went into private bank accounts. I’d bet on that.

I don't have a reference, but I thought I saw somewhere that a huge chunk of that money went to pay for construction labor, a lot of it at time-and-a-half or more, with guys double-shifting and working 6 days a week for all of the overtime.

Union construction guys, of course.

This would be Mob like you find in the Sopranos. However, we would certainly imagine that legal mobs like the Democratic Party were involved and received their cut.

I guess Alan Lichtman will have to rescind his speculation that Obama will win...

$535 million bucks, hey if somebody was able to skim even ten percent, that make Jed Clampett look like I dunno, some kinda hillbilly or something!

Even for this Regime, it would be a very very risky move.

Doesn't have to be a cover up...just needs to delay and obfuscate until the election under cover of an ongoing investigation, then if zero wins it would be easy to drag it out for four more years. If zero loses the republicans will drop it to avoid convicting an ex-president...remember Clinton?

This certainly appears to be the definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors", but the republican house won't impeach zero because the Senate would never convict him.

If it were a Republican in the White House the pimps in the media would be going crazy over this 24/7.

Bammie will skate as usual.

Do you know what Solyndra’s claim to fame was? Cylindrical solar panels (collectors actually) that could be mounted anywhere and did not need expensive anchoring schemes to secure them against the wind. They also could pick up sun without being reoriented for better exposure. This propaganda is on the internet. http://blog.syndicatedsolar.com/?Tag=Solyndra%20Cylinder%20Module
http://www.solyndra.com/technology-products/cool-roofs/

Solyndra is a clever (not so clever now) fusion of the “solar” plus “cylinder”

To form photo voltaic material into a cylinder is going to be more expensive than regular solar panels but this didn’t stop the geniuses at Solyndra

It has long been my thought that bankers like to go for rides but lack the initiative or courage to drive themselves.

Soylandra knew this in spades and cooked up a pretty ride and took Obama et al along. Considering the kickbacks, they just couldn’t resist.
