The fact is you stated in the title of your thread that Bush funded it.... This is false... Get your own story straight....
I would consider changing the title to say "The deal to fund Solyndra was authored by Bush, before Obama took office", but unfortunatelly I cannot edit the title. The facts, and the timeline about the actual events and GOP involvement has been repeated to no end on this thread, so by now everyone should know what happened. Bush, and GOP are neck deep in the deal, yet they pretend it is all on Obama. I opened the thread to bring it to the open, and it has succeded in doing that.

Nobody has denied that Bush initiated it. It was not funded because of Solyndras financial situation during the Bush administration. This is documented. Obama had the same information and decided to go through with funding Solyndra in spite of their track record financially. How can you sit there and place blame on the Bush administration without giving the Obama administration the same or even greater blame for this failure? THe entire thread as well as your arguements are misleading at the very least.
Yes, blaming the whole deal on Obama while pretending GOP had nothing to do with it is dishonest at best. The whole purpose of this thread is to inform people about the fact that GOP gave birth to the program which they are now using to critisize others.
The program was apparently administered in a responsible manner until Bummer came along.

I can sit here and place blame on both. As an independent I am not obligated to defend either party.
That is very differnt from those who have spent several months placing blame only on Obama.

You mean tax-payer money was being distributed to corporations in a responsible manner. LOL GM got billions from Bush and it still went under. AIG got billions and we'll never see that money again. Hundreds of billions flew out to hundreds of companies, and many ended up being nationalized by the Bush admin. Responsible? I don't think so.
Don't you think you should be saying that the creation of such programs is nonsense in the first place
I think they are desperate - Solyndra and the other obama green slush fund disasters will play big time in the fall.

There is no truth to what you posted.

No, the application was rejected, because unlike obama, who was only interested in paying back his billionaire bundler, Bush saw the risk was too great to waste taxpayer money on Solyndra.
Itake it you support government programs such as Bush's Loan Guarantee program, while I oppose them. That is the differnece between you and me.
See, the difference is the Bush admin was interested in companies that were worthwhile, that were stable financially and had a sound plan...obama...not so much.
No amount of your spin will mitigate the wonderful ads on obama's BILLION dollar green slush fund for his billionaire bundlers.

Of course I agree that in a perfect world government would keep its nose out of such matters altogether.
Since they don't, I'll at least give the Bush DOE credit for saying no in 2009.
