    I rather like the idea of Obama throwing money out the window of Air Force One. If anyone should hear about future drops please inform me as to when and where... I'll bring my own paper bags and baseball bat. "That MY money!" (whack)...

    ...What?... I never claimed to be non-violent :D

    Looks like another scam created to loot the nation out of its wealth. Of course the arabs love this for that money could have gone to real solar energy project like solar roof tiles that cover the needs of an entire house and swimming pool. Made to look like spanish roof tile. Already proven to be productive in FLA and could be used for entire Southeast/southwest USA if it has a rebate to lower the cost or have it part of the building code. But Obama is the hound dog of Saudi land so what does anyone expect.

    Sounds like Solyndra needs to pack it up and relocate to Dubai. Might be too late now though.

    A classic example of political-speak. I wish I could say this were limited to the Obama administration, but it is all too common. However, at least one in here has some sense of reality.

    Does anyone care that the application for the loan to Solyndra began under the Bush Administration and the the head of Solyndra is a Republican or should we just keep blaming the Obama Administration for everything whether it makes any sense or not? I thought so.
    Furthermore, should we care that China is producing the same product with government backing and competing with Solyndra? Of course not.

    If people wanted and expected the same kind of poor oversight and judgement on things like this as they got under the Republicans and Bush, why would they bother to vote for Obama in the last election...or why bother to vote for him in the next election for that matter.

    What China does has nothing to do with our government oversight. Also, you are correct, the application was filed under the Bush administration. Maybe more importantly, it was rejected. Maybe that should tell you even more.

    The Saudi's owned the Bush family as well.
    "As early as 1964, George H.W. Bush, running for the U.S. Senate from Texas, was labeled by incumbent Democrat Ralph Yarborough as a hireling of the sheik of Kuwait, for whom Bush's company drilled offshore oil wells. Over the four decades since then, the ever-reaching Bushes have emerged as the first U.S. political clan to thoroughly entangle themselves with Middle Eastern royal families and oil money. The family even has links to the Bin Ladens going back to the 1970s".

    Bush Name Helps Fuel Oil Deal
    By George Lardner Jr. and Lois Romano
    Washington Post Staff Writers
    Friday, July 30, 1999; Page A1
    Sixth of seven articles
    As world oil prices plummeted in the winter of 1985-86, George W. Bush faced the most serious crisis of his 11-year career as a West Texas oilman.
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/campaigns/wh2000/stories/bush073099.htm

    There is no way that the Bush clan that has ties to the arab oil world for three generations would want a real solar energy program to work and there is no way that the muslim president would ever do anything against the saudi oil for it brings weath to the protectors of mecca henceforth the protectors of islam, the Saudi royal family

    I realize this but so was just about every green energy initiative that came up. The excuses they used are just for audit purposes.

    The Bushes were pretty close to the Bin Ladens, weren't they? Of course not necessarily to the black sheep of the family.

    I am not sure just witch "they" you are referring to, but I will guess Bush. If that is so, why do "they" need "excuses" for doing the right thing?

    So you are admitting Bush got something right.

    I'm admitting that people including Bush sometimes do the right thing for the wrong reasons.

    And who was it who ended up getting the black sheep? It wasn't George I-don't-spend-much-time-on-him-anymore Bush.

    Has BO been involved in anything that hasn't back-fired? Geesh.
    I'm sure this will be buried by his regime but his hands are dirty enough with this self-serving taxpayer scam to merit prison.

    Killing bin Laden is the only thing that comes to mind right away.
