Oh, boy – who would have thought that something like this would be causing this Administration so much headache? Not that there weren’t other issues that SHOULD have received this level of scrutiny, but for some reason, the MSM is finally ready to start investigating some of the shenanigans iin which Obama and his Administration have participated. And whooey, this is turning out to be some kind of investigation.
Perhaps this new interest by the MSM is because Congress is taking umbrage at this Administration shelling out over half a billion bucks to a company doomed to fail, and are they ever. Check out this discussion between Rep. Tim Murphy and Jonathan Silver, who heads up the Energy Loan Department:
Holy cow – now THAT is a true representative. Rep. Murphy demands accountability on the part of the administrator of the loan program, though he didn’t get it. Well, not yet, anyway, but there is still time.
And there is still more to this issue:
After giving the MSM some props, Anderson Cooper almost made me take back my words. Love how he tries to give the Obama Administration a pass on this. But here’s the thing – in two and a half years, this Administration has created a little over 3,500 jobs out of a $38 BILLION dollar budget. for loans.
To demonstrate even further Obama’s complaint tone-deafness on this issue, where did he go while n NC to try and ram his “jobs bill” down people’s throats (think: Obamacare)? To a “green energy” company WestStar Precision, which, by the way, had just shipped a boatload of jobs to Costa Rica. Way to push your jobs bill, Mr. President!
It was while he was in Raleigh, NC, that we became privy to the reason Congress should pass this bill: out of love for Obama. I am not kidding you. It isn’t because of what’s in the plan (yet another stimulus to go along with the other stimulus that didn’t work), but because people worship the Messiah:
There is something seriously wrong with this man. And Congress, if they go along with this new addition to our deficit.
What a mess this all is. What a mess Obama is making of our country with his failed, flawed policies, demands, and actions. Solyndra is only one example of many. Feel free to discuss Solyndra, the Administration’s push for this massive loan which is likely long gone, and the machinations in which it has engaged to cover this up, or any other policies (“Fast and Furious” springs to mind and Holder’s claim he knew nothing). And if you can explain to me why a “green energy” job costs $640,000 a PIECE, I would love to hear it.

I couldn’t get the link to work, unfortunately. But yes, if something is happening to which the voters said no, that is a massive problem (and not off topic at all)…

Good grief, Helen. Maybe this governor is backing down now, but talk about thwarting the will of the people.
On a GOOD note, congratulations to your Phillies for clinching already!

HOLY CRAP – pressuring a general to change his testimony for a donor?? You have got to be kidding me with this. Reprehensible, just reprehensible.
WHEN can we impeach this man???
September 15, 2011 at 1:50 pm
impeachment starting tomorrow is not soon enough.
I am not sure if this country can wait until Jan 20 2013 for him to be out of office.
He and his bunch do something almost everyday that is not in the best interest of this country.

No, it certainly doesn’t seem to, Helen. I am not at all surprised that an appointee would try and make a buck – that seems to be the status quo with these folks.
Right there with ya – not sure we can wait until 2013…

Well, evidently, since Obama ended up in the WH with zero real experience or credentials…

my question on this whole citizenship question is something I have never seen asked or answered.
He got adopted by the second husband, this gave him Indonesian citizenship and they do not have duel citizenship. After the divorce was there ever an application to receive American citizenship again? I think the answer to that question is more important than where he was born.

Thanks, Helen! I already have the posts in Drafts for NQ – I hope you will re-post this link there tonight (I think is when it is going up).
And you are SPOT ON – that is the issue abt Obama – his having dual citizenship. There are those who say people who have it cannot be president because their complete loyalty to the United States is in doubt (though I am no lawyer). I do not recall ever hearing he renounced his Indonesian citizenship.
That is also why so many think he will not allow his transcripts to be shown as they will identify him as having foreign citizenship.

That is some letter by Mr. Doaks. Wow!
Did you see the recent article that detailed Richard Trumka’s past when he was with the UMW? I think I linked to it here for Obama’s campaign speech to the Congress. Unbelievable. These people are something else. I do not understand how the White House has become so inundated with these kinds of people (I mean, I know it is through Obama, but how has it been ALLOWED to happen). Holy moley.

Thanks for the heads up, Helenk! I really like Greta. I don’t always get to see her, but I am impressed with her.
I heard something earlier abt an “alleged” Solyndra employee who was NOT happy…

I sent it to my son in college and told him he might want to see if they can get that professor to teach at his school. Poor kid was down in the dumps the other day, just trying to cheer him up.

What are you talking abt, Nunly? That is some of the best news I have seen!
Sorry to hear your son is having a hard time. I hope things turn around for him.
Thanks for the laugh!
