Thursday good news.

[EagleUSA]

Well, you did not expect Obama to take responsibility did you?? I see this “sacrifice” as a red herring....

[Sudetenland]

Yep. Another one under the bus. The first step at attempting a cover up. Remember, the sign on Obama's desk says, "The buck stops anywhere but here."

Dump Steven Chu too, for good measure.

Sounds to me like somebody is turning on them and doesn’t want to go to jail. Just wait and see who else turns on them.

Gave the guy the Chicago Choice i.e.,”gold or lead?” to fall on his sword.

Line ‘em up!......It’s under the bus time!....

[Erik Latranyi]

But Obama just said in today’s press conference that everything was OK and nobody did anything wrong!

Saying one thing when the opposite is happening -— liberal lies on display.

[PGR88]

What a chump.

His job, in effect, was to go out and make loans to politically connected, dodgy solar companies.

Seems responsibility should go higher than the delivery-boy.

I did a profile on Silver in my newsblog back in February, 2010. A group here in Louisiana was/is trying to get one of those loans. A total scam.

Who is Jonathan Silver and Why is he so Important to V-Vehicle and Northeast LA Politics?

watch for Silver to be hired by an obama campaign contributor

fail your way to the top.

Jonathan Silver, who was named executive director of DOE’s Loan Programs Office in November 2009, has come under fire from congressional Republicans

I see you have this figured out. Silver is the last guy I’d be going after. Congressional Republicans ought to be going for where the buck stops, no pun intended.

[Leep]

As I read casualty in the title my first thought perhaps one of the higher ups committed suicide.

[not2worry]

The DEMS put Scooter Libby in jail over the “outing” of Valerie Plain!

We have corruption that goes all the way to the Oval Office and we are told it was just one of those things!

Appoint a Special Prosecutor and do it NOW.

[Carry_Okie]

Yep. The Democrats know to sacrifice the lowest rung possible. I’m certain there’s a very nice lobbying job just waiting for Mr. Silver.

Too risky for private investment

Too risky for hedge funds

Too risky for private equity firms

Too risky for pension funds

Too risky for offshore investors

Too risky for commercial finance companies

Too risky for commercial banks.

I know!! Let's get some taxpayer money!!!
