The White House denied it put pressure on budget officials to approve a controversial $535m loan to Solyndra, a solar panel maker that has since filed for bankruptcy, after a congressional investigation suggested the officials were rushed to agree to the stimulus loan.

Obama was a LIAR before this. When this is all said and done, he is going to make Nixon look like Reagan! I mean, he is already making Carter look like Clinton!

Plain and simply stated, at this point Obama could not sell water to a person dying of thirst in the middle of the desert!

[mreerm]

could be true.

they were very busy fast and furiously running guns.

might not have had time.................

...And wondering if she´ll be murdered in the act.

Seems like the media is talking more about this one than gun runner. There are so many scandals. The next year should be interesting. I would love to see the wife caught up in one.

Lie, lie, lie, deny, deny, deny. The truth is setting us free.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

They are on freaking video.Are they desperate fools or they thinks Obama’s skin color will let them slide AGAIN?

Many conservative critics have focused on Kaiser because Argonaut Venture Capital, the investment arm of the Tulsa, Okla.-based George Kaiser Family Foundation, is Solyndra's largest private investor. They speculate that Solyndra's loan was either approved or expedited at the request of Kaiser and other political donors to Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.

There's yer puppet master. The Solyndra CES's (Chief Executive Schmucks) will take the fall while Kaiser pockets millions in taxpayer dollars. Welcome to American business.

Anyone could tell by watching Bob Beckel going apesh*t on Fox today that is it a big deal. They are running scared. The question is, not if they are guilty but if the FBI missed any documents that needed to be shredded.

Hmmm, I guess it was the grand-daddy of all coincidences that Zero was touring plants, sitting in on board meetings, and having lunch with the CEO.

[SunkenCiv]

The White House lies. Thanks mdittmar.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

That is sad.Obama is not above the friggin law.

[mojitojoe]

Bit he sure thinks he is, that’s for sure. He’s had people cover up his lies his entire life.

“The White House is full of manure. Call out the special prosecutor before the records are expunged!”

The Brown House!

[cookcounty]

"So the White House didn’t push the Solyndra loan and it just happened on its own? Aren’t they the ones in charge of the stimulus spending?

You KNOW they're hiding something when they rush to the microphone to admit utter incompetence!

No Surprise there folks, what else did you expect ?

The Den of Thieves.

" These creatures are incapable of telling the truth."

Like father, like son, is it any wonder they lie ? their father IS the father of lairs.

The Tulsa, Okla.-based George Kaiser Family Foundation,

Thanks in advance.
