On the eve of his appearance before the House Energy and Commerce Committee to discuss the Solyndra bankruptcy, the Energy Department has provided reporters with advance excerpts from Secretary Chu’s prepared statement. The remarks indicate that Chu will continue to defend the green energy loan guarantee program that gave the now-bankrupt solar panel company more than $527 million in taxpayer dollars.

[Erik Latranyi]

Of course it was “normal”......it’s the liberal way you pay back donors!

[org.whodat]

Make Chu pay the money back.

[RexBeach]

Yeah, right. And I’m “Mr. Greenjeans.”

[edcoil]

Kennedy’s company got 1.4 billion

I think you’re right - there is a pattern here.

[MrB]

Hello?

[MNJohnnie]

So it is now considered “proper” to ignore the advice of your own business analysis to make politically motivated loans to political cronies with taxpayer dollars?

[MrB]

There isn’t one 0bama policy that doesn’t amount to either paying off his political donors at taxpayer expense, or is a de factor reparations program.

[MrB]

“de facto”

[ILS21R]

Even the part about holding off on the layoffs until after the midterms.

[WOBBLY BOB]

Proper if your advice comes from John Corzine.

Chu is a weak link in the admin. He’s soft and talks to media too much.

He needs to be targeted (politicaly) and pressured (publicly) and he will break and go off reservation.

He can be the crack in the damn of silence and obfusacation holding back the flood of corruption.

[Blood of Tyrants]

If you mean overriding good sense and guaranteeing a loan for over half a billion dollars when even the company accountants were telling you not to do it.

[crosshairs]

CHU LIE!

[Nifster]

Nobel prize for stupid and dishonest....

[RexBeach]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good old Mr. Greenjeans. He and the Captain would know what to do with the economy. They’d also use the “magic” words.
