Emails Reveal Direct White House Tie to Solyndra Scandal

So, again, Solyndra's Bush-era application was denied because of concerns over the company's balance sheets and business model. Obama's own OMB staffers were waving bright red flags, essentially shouting "no!" One even presciently predicted that Solyndra could run out of money....right about now. Funny, that. And yet, the irresponsible loan was fast-tracked for approval, apparently at the behest of Obama's "West Wing" (ie, political) aides. Remember, these aides were regularly conferring with one of the company's primary investors, George Kaiser, -- who just happened to be a top Obama campaign fundraising "bundler" during the last campaign. After misleading the public about the Bush administration's role in this mess, the Obama White House now tells us all of those meetings with Kaiser had nothing to do with the risky loan in question. Does anyone believe that? Anyone? This is far from over.

This may end up being the downfall of Obama, or at least we can pray.

An AP review of Federal Election Commission records shows Solyndra executives have given to both Obama and Democratic-aligned groups. Ben Bierman, Solyndra's executive vice president, and Karen Alter, the firm's marketing vice president, contributed more than $3,500 to Obama's campaign. And one of the company's investors, George Kaiser, was a "bundler" for Obama's 2008 campaign, raising between $50,000 and $100,000 for the president, records show.
Democrats on the Energy and Commerce Committee had questioned the basis of the Solyndra investigation and in July had voted against issuing subpoenas for documents from OMB. But after the bankruptcy and FBI raid, Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., described the loan Wednesday as a "debacle."

Hmm, the guy was not found innocent but guilty. Or has the conviction been over turned after the execution? If there hasn't been a judgement by the courts that throw out his conviction, a guilty man was indeed executed.

That's "technically" correct in the same way that Casey Anthony is innocent. However, the Governor decided not to allow the case to be reopened. If it had been allowed it could have been found (some say likely would have been found) that the conviction was a miscarriage of justice.

On the other hand, this angle of attack against Perry has been largely dropped because, apparently, it doesn't hurt him. As one voter said ..."It takes balls to execute an innocent man."
 
texas is SO full of christians, ya know :rolleyes:
 
According to records filed with the Clerk of the House and a search of disclosure forms compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, Solyndra spent nearly $1.9 million on lobbying activities over a period of 43 months from 2008 to 2011.

well, now we know why that company failed. they were wasting money politicking instead of investing in developing technology.
I'm no expert on business but watching successful people showed me that one starts small and builds slowly. and you don't waste money on dopey nonsense
