    Watch it MWA
    BO supporters will criticize that info since it is from Fox

    What kind of critcism can they bring against WaPO's artilcle on the OMB findings?
    The Link
    'As the Obama administration moved last year to bail out Solyndra, the embattled flagship of the president’s initiative to promote alternative energy, a White House budget analyst calculated that millions of taxpayer dollars might be saved by cutting the government’s losses, shuttering the company immediately and selling its assets, according to a congressional investigation."


    The article goes on to point out that the OMB did not discourage the DOE from restructuring the loan. A restructuring that put private investors ahead of taxpayers.
    wonder why?

    Hey guys, you didn't get the memo. We are no longer going to talk about Solyndra, we are only going to talk about the top 1%, how they are stealing money from the middle class, and how we can redistribute their wealth to those who are equally smart and work just as hard but haven't been able to take advantage of the government building them a business.

    GWB said no to solyndra. BHO put a rush on getting it started. That's a head to head decision these two made. This is one decision BHO has made that he can't blame Bush for.

    This explains why BHO doesn't want his college transcript published. Not only the worst President we've had, but the dumbest.

    I did not get that memo so thanks

    So you mean we shouldn't post an ABC link reporting that an email they found suggests BO chief of staff knew 6 months BEFORE Solyndra went bankrupt how dire things were.The Link

    So we aren't supposed to post things like that? OR remind anyone how BO admin screwed taxpayers by revising the rules?
    nothing like that?

    As Austin Bat said, the key issue facing our country is that rich people are not paying their fair share. We're not saying what their fair share is, but it is certainly more than they're doing. Thanks for playing, and pay no attention to the solyndras behind the curtain.

    In 1980, the top 1% contributed 17% of the revenue for Personal Income Tax. In 2011 or 2010, that same top 1% contribute 39% of the revenue for Personal Income Tax.

    Now back to Obama's record.....

    Horn 6721 - now you've got it. Silly facts just get in the way of praising this administration so they should be ignored. NBC, CBS and ABC got the memo. [​IMG]

    I appreciate your help. I am trying to get the BO line.
    So you are saying I shouldn't read or link this ( oddly enough but refreshing ) report from ABC that reports on emails within the BO admin showing they restructured the Solyndra loan, even knowing it was going to cost taxpayers, to avoid making Bo look bad?

    I shouldn't post this , from the link?
    "Senior Obama Administration officials decided to restructure the government's half-billion-dollar loan to the California solar energy firm Solyndra even after government analysts had concluded it would cost taxpayers far less to allow the company to fail, according to a newly released report on the investigation into the Solyndra matter by House Republicans.

    The decision appeared to be made at least in part out of concern with how it would look if Solyndra -- the first recipient of government funds meant to spark growth in the nation's production of cleaner burning fuels -- went bust, according to the report, which quoted extensively from internal administration emails."The Link

    is that what you are saying?

    Correct. And instead of talking about the massive failures of BO, you say these things:

    - Obama has given everyone in the US low-cost health insurance
    - Romney hates poor people
    - Romney doesn't even pay his own taxes, and wants his rich friends to be able to not pay taxes, too
    - BO inheritated a terrible economy but if he just gets to spend more money and create government jobs for 4 more years, all will be wonderful

    I could go on, but if you'll just listen to the MSM, you'll get them all.

    I also wish Barak had kept the last name Soleto, so his initials would be BS! [​IMG]
