Ain't looking too good for your home team .. EVEN when using the Bush Did It whine .. Now does it!?
Not my problem if you take an issue many years before the election and blame it on Obama.

That's not just insane, it's defying the laws of physics. Makes it kind of hard to take you seriously.

Spin it however you please, but Obama GLADLY took over where Bush left off and ran with it full speed ahead. And to make things worse, even after it was obvious there were problems since their debt had to be restructured in February 2010 and things were shaky, Obama made a speech from Solyndra in March 2010 and with a straight face said:

“The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra,”

Isn't Obama supposed to be smart? Why would a supposedly smart president make a speech at a plant that had just been restructured financially and was questionable and say it is a true engine of economic growth?

Solyndra: Bankrupt Solar Company A Republican Problem, Not Just Obama's

Unless Obama has a time machine, in violation of physics and rationality, it's a multi-party problem.



What was that old saying? "Lies have traveled the world by the time truth has only put on its shoes".
Most important word in that post: NEARLY

So the Republicans didn't give the loan, Obama's administration did. He should be fair game for criticism for the loan.

The poor lefties know they are going to get walloped on this one. But of course the only thing they can do is blame Bush. They ate pathetic, and the American people see it. Obama is toast.

White House-Backed Solar Solyndra Company Collapses - ABC News

", a renewable energy firm that became the darling of the Obama Administration, shut the doors to its California headquarters today, raising sharp questions from the administration's critics about political favoritism in the federal loan program.

"We smelled a rat from the onset," Republican House Energy and Commerce Committee members Rep. Cliff Stearns and Rep. Fred Upton said in a statement to ABC News of the the $535 million government loan guarantee awarded to Solyndra in 2009."


"That's when the Government Accountability Office issued an unusually blunt assessment of the Energy Department's loan program, concluding that the department had "treated applicants inconsistently, favoring some and disadvantaging others.""
The forum computer failed to show that subsound was using two left handed sources, HuffPo and Think Progress. I think that hurts his case.
