A company that got a 500 million dollar loan goes belly up and Republicans are foaming at the mouth. The Pentagon doesn't know where 60 billion dollars went in Iraq and Afghanistan and Republicans don't seem to care.

Why the silence?

Well, I've only got so much outrage.

Currently, I'm busy spending it on the clueless disaster that too many clueless Americans voted into office three years ago.

You spend your time being outraged at Obama? What else do you do?

You can't compare apples to oranges. The Obama administration gave taxpayer money to a company they knew would go under. The evidence will be hard for this administration to refute.

I'm sure they knew the company would go under and then they wanted to have a huge PR problem to deal with. That makes total sense.

So you're fine with the Pentagon losing 60 billion dollars, but have a problem with Obama's loan losing 500 million?

Laugh at lefties who are trying to divert attention from Obama`s shady handouts to Soylent Green, or whatever that company is called that is accomplishing zilch with a whole bundle of taxpayer money.

The Obama administration knew that this was a company destined to go bankrupt. Nothing this administration has ever done makes sense. It's all about public relations opportunities. Obama should be impeached for this.

Who said anything about diverting attention? We need to get to the bottom of where that money went. I just figured that since Republicans were outraged about losing 500 million, they might also want to find out where 60 billion went.

I guess thinking was my first mistake.
