Off topic.

Public support has nothing to do with the Solyndra scandal.

Maybe wasting a half a billion dollars of our tax money on Obama's buddies means nothing to you but it does to most of us.

Half a billion tax dollars gone and your not concerned? Your not at all curious? You don't feel that we the taxpayer have a right to hold our elected reps accountable for such mistakes? I don't care what party is at the helm they all need to answer up.

There is no scandal. Just desperate grasping at anything you think makes Obama look bad. If there is wrong doing in the Solyndra transaction, the Justice Dept will find out. You know, the Justice Dept and FBI that started looking into this issue, well before you deemed to be a scandal. I am just saying, keep on a grasping if it makes you feel good.

The same justice dept under fire for fast and furious? Obama's man leading the charge? Fox guarding the hen house comes to mind.

No it was 500 million actually. TARP I was 800 Billion, so 500 billion would've raised a few flags.

On Friday the White House Counsel sent a letter to the House Energy and Commerce Committee explaining they won't comply with the request because it "implicates longstanding and significant institutional Executive Branch confidentiality interests."

Transparency at its best!
The soon to be ex-President is playing with fire, there are no national security issues regarding this and he is in public job where it appears he manipulated the situation.
Let the American People see what you were doing Obama, you can't claim another Arab spring here.
