Beam me to Planet Gore !
Has MSNBC reported a word on this story yet?
I just watched Huckabee on Fox saying that he doesn’t see corruption just a bad business decision.
I suppose he could be right it could have been just a bad business decision.
HOW MNAY BAD BUSINESS DECISIONS DOES THIS MAKE>
Taking over GM, bailing out the banks,shovel ready projects that don’t exist, buying bus’s from Canada, Trillions in debt and pissing away money like it was water.
We have to say if we look at this from it’s brighter side it was a move made by an idiot.If we look at it from the corruption side , it got Obama some Campaign money. Campaign money he doesn’t need since so far the American peopl have been supplying Campaign funds in the form of free rides on Air Force One and a couple of bus’s we didn’t need.
Now I see an ad pushing his latest stimulus,Who is paying foe that?
As bad as the Solyndra et al deals are, they dwarf in comparison with the money going to Europe.....
When your hometown newspaper has an article like this - you know things are bad.
This ONE scandal is going to hand around obama’s (and the dems) neck for the next 12 months. And there are more coming...
Along with a double dip and housing prices that will continue to slide.
I predict in 2012 that democrat candidates will not use the word “obama” or “democrat” in their political ads...
The Solyndra scandal cost at least a half-billion public dollars. It is plaguing President Barack Obama. And it’s being billed as a Washington story.
But back in Obama’s political hometown, those of us familiar with the Chicago Way can see something else in Solyndra — something that the Washington crowd calls “optics.” In fact, it’s not just a Washington saga — it has all the elements of a Chicago City Hall story, except with more zeros.
And now the Tribune Washington Bureau has reported that the U.S. Department of Energy employee who helped monitor the Solyndra loan guarantee was one of Obama’s top fundraisers.
Fundraising? Contracts? Imagine that.
Steve Spinner was the Obama administration official in charge of handing out billions and billions of tax dollars to “green” energy deals. According to the Tribune story, Spinner the other day invited Obama’s national political finance committee to a meeting in Chicago.
The name of the Obama fundraising initiative?
“Technology for Obama.”
The idea of the Obama fundraisers getting together, talking “green,” and perhaps offering taxpayer loan guarantees to insider businesses in the interest of helping the environment — it all seems rather fresh.
Like a mountain meadow.
There are the guys who count. The guys who bring the cash. They count because they do the counting. They have leverage. They’re always there at the fundraisers. And so they’re the ones who are allowed to gorge at the public trough.
Chicago-WashDC “Way” bump for later.........
Notice what is being done to our language. We no longer have appearances; we have optics. We no longer have problems; we have issues.
If it looks bad, don’t worry, it is probably an optical illusion. Problems may be intractable, but issues - that’s much easier - just turn an issue over to the bureaucracy.
Al Gore is neck deep in SLUSH FUNDS ....from US!!
We're talking embezzlement on a scale that might be unprecedented....
The “CHICAGO WAY”.......that always reminds me of Sean Connery in that one movie.
“If they bring a knife....you stuff a ballot box.
If they put one of yours in the hospital....you have dead people vote. That’s the Chicago way.”
Indeed but the medis is working 24/7 to white wash the facts.

From the Mark Levin Show.
Yes and it reeks of what Richard Nixon is accused of -- White House plumbers. But Obama is using the original version of plumbers. He's using civil service employees of his own Holder Dept. of Just Us FBI to do the break-ins, thefts, and intimidation.
At least in Illinois our scandals are quite ecumenical, with Republicans eager to help Democrats steal whatever they can grab.
.. and in Washington the "it all counts toward 30" civil service employees are eager to help Obama Democrats steal -- or get away with anything else -- to protect their privileges.
To wit, The bureaucrats are the fulcrum so the guys with the leverage can lift great weight without too much effort. And while they might whine privately among themselves, they don't hold news conferences to blow the whistle. They keep their mouths shut . . . If anyone gets caught and the problem becomes public . . . ." then they acknowledge and start covering their behinds.
IOW.. let's see how many years after Obama is out of office that an investigation report is quietly released late afternoon on a long holiday weekend.
.. oh, in the mean time some GS-3 might get reprimanded.
This is what Hillary warned about when she was competing for the office
