National Review Online ^ | 9/13/11 | Andrew Stiles

The Washington Post uncovers more White House e-mails regarding the Solyndra loan scandal, and it’s not pretty: The Obama White House tried to rush federal reviewers for a decision on a nearly half-billion-dollar loan to the solar panel manufacturer Solyndra so Vice President Biden could announce the approval at a September 2009 groundbreaking for the company’s new factory, newly obtained e-mails show… The August 2009 e-mails, released toThe Washington Post, show White House officials repeatedly asking OMB reviewers when they would be able to decide on the federal loan

yep... it’s popcorn time. this is going to be good.

That's what I thought when they got caught giving guns to Mexican drug gangs, but that seems to be fizzling out. The MSM doesn't care about these things, and Congress doesn't seem to either. Who else is there, the justice department?

BTW bankruptcy fraud is punishable under the RICO Act. Just thinking out loud. Can’t wait to follow the money.

Even the Lamestream media is actually waking up and doing REAL investigating reporting against the Dear Leader? They must have been given the OK that it can no longer be traced to the Oval Office!

Why aren’t they looking at the General Contractor that built the new 300,000SF building? They are Obama bundlers too!

I suspect we are seeing these Solyndra stories because the FBI and Holder's justice department have seized any possible "smoking gun" evidence and have it locked up in an "ongoing active investigation," or possibly they have destroyed the evidence already.

I doubt anyone in the Party Propagnda Minsitry would publish these stories if there were actual evidence that might get to Issa and his committee, or Upton and his committee, or any other Congressional Republicans.

We're reading about this because Holder and The Won believe there is nothing left to incriminate them. The coverup is complete.

WHERE’S THAT $500 M ????????

If the gov’t had just divided up 4 TRILLION dollars among the 305M LEGAL citizens of the USA, we’d each have ????? in our bank accounts by now (my mind boggles at 100M, I can’t figure billions or trillions..)

let’s see...then they could tax each of us at the highest rate for ‘millionaires’ and drop the deductions for interest earned and then no deducting the mortgages on all our new mansions..by the time they were done, they’d get the 4 TRILLION back from us and give it to their cronies and the Palistinians and illegal aliens...

“I never thought I’d see one of the commie rags doing that on any Obamanation scandal.”

The Powers That Be in the DNC are telling their lackeys in the Biased Media (BM for short) that Aethelblack the Unready has to go if they're to have any chance in 2016 (they are already writing next year's elections off).

Maybe.

We have seen this before. There are often things to be revealed that may yet come into play though.

The media are in charge of the teflon application. Always are. If the NYT and WP decide to pursue it, Bambi’s roasted!

I have absolutely no reason to doubt your hypothesis.

“Aethelblack...” ... heh, heh.

“This is an illustration for the corporations of how to play ball with the Obama Regime. If you want government to smooth the way for you, kick in your campaign donations”

I think you have the situation backwards. It’s not a shakedown. This is simply a method for funneling money to an Obama crony. Diverting taxpayer money to a company that never was intended to successfully make a product.

The company’s real function was to be a receiver of ‘green investment’ funds, so that those funds could end up in the pockets of Obama’s friends.

“Obama regime acts like this is their money.”

What I don't understand is, why are people standing by watching this SOB loot the treasury and break virtually every Constitutional section and DOING NOTHING?

Based on what I have seen, there is ample evidence to bring forth an investigation into criminal felonious wrongdoing by 0 and others in his administration.

They are paying attention because they see Obama dragging down the Democrat party. They don't want to see their ideology badly beaten, regardless of who the identity of the flag-bearer.

The big news here is the Washington Post is covering this scandal.

Yep, perhaps there are some reporters with integrity. Or maybe, they think: "I could protect my beloved Dear Leader; or, win a Pulitzer and be rich and famous. Hmmmmmm..."
