Emails just released in the transparent obama administration weekly Friday document dump he hopes no one will notice.

White House got heads up on Solyndra’s pending layoff announcements - The Washington Post

Quote:
The White House also got advance notice that the company had agreed to postpone delivering the politically damaging news, according to the e-mails provided Friday by a government source.

The newly released e-mails show the White House fretting about the bad news that was coming and discussing how to handle media questions about a company the Obama administration had made a showcase of in its effort to use taxpayer funds to create clean-energy jobs.
But NOT fretting about the coming layoffs to all those people?

Why, isn't this Banesque territory?

Quote:
The Energy Department asked the company to delay the announcement until Nov. 3, one day after the elections, previously released e-mails from company officials show.
Solyndra...another obama gift that will keep on giving.

Can't wait for the ads.

Waiting for the first Liberal to chime in and tell us how Solyndra was a worthy venture and Barack Obama is still the Green King worthy of never-ending praise.

Better yet, waiting for the first Liberal to chime in and remind us how Barack Obama knew nothing about the Solyndra debacle beforehand. Because, you know, the President doesn't know what's going on in his Administration.

At least that's the claim we always get.

You'll be waiting for silence, as usual.

Man, this story just gets better and better.

Here we are over 25 years from your last post about this one and not one lefty has answered yet. I bet this thread dies the terrible death of the never answered. Maybe they have been too busy with the gay and peed on threads today.

I wonder if the timeliness of "dumping" this on Friday had something to do with it being a three-day weekend, and they were hoping it would "go away" by Tuesday?

Surely you jest. You think this is the first time in history, even recent history (pre-Obama) that the White House was advised of "bad news" before the general public knew of it? Surely you jest! LOL!

Without a doubt. This President is as slimey as they come.

And Liberals and Democrats thought they were actually getting change.

Of course that is the reason. The Friday night document dump is SOP...but I thought candidate obama said something about transparency and ending the status quo of DC politics.

Now, I wonder why the company was ASKED by the DoE to delay the "news" one day AFTER the 2010 elections.
