Remember...Obama is "creating millions of green jobs" to replace the millions of old jobs that he gave away to China, Brazil and India. He had a great photo-op last year, here in California, with his brand new solar panel factory, which has since gone bankrupt. Now the investigations are turning up evidence of White House involvement in massive, Chicago-style corruption. Is anyone surprised? (ABC News) — House investigators said they have uncovered evidence that White House officials became personally involved in an Energy Department review of a hot-button $535 million loan guarantee to the now-failed California solar company Solyndra. The allegation surfaced in a letter House Energy Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) sent to the White House Thursday night, saying he planned to accelerate efforts to understand an investment deal that may have left taxpayers out half a billion dollars. “We have learned from our investigation that White House officials monitored Solyndra’s application and communicated with [Department of Energy] and Office of Management and Budget officials during the course of their review,” the letter says. Thursday’s letter, which calls on the White House to turn over correspondence between administration officials, Solyndra and its investors, presents the most pointed suggestion that the White House had direct involvement in the financing. “How did this company, without maybe the best economic plan, all of a sudden get to the head of the line?” Upton told ABC News in an interview this week. “We want to know who made this decision . . . and we’re not going to stop until we get those answers.”
I listened to his speech to the Auto Workers today. He's a crafty one. He talked up G&M and Chrysler and never made a single mention of Ford...hmm they didn't take any Govt money think there is a connection? He talked about all the jobs he's created in Michigan, maybe MCG should consider moving back? :twisted:

The Cult of Obama Home - by Claudia - September 7, 2011 - 15:00 America/New_York - 20 Comments This is a deeply edited version of an article from American Thinker, “The Cult of Obama”, by Robin of Berkeley. Please read the entire article; especially the great ending. _______ It’s a chilling moment when the light goes out in someone’s eyes. The person looks the same, maybe acts the same. But something is gone, and what’s lost is irretrievable. It’s like when a person dies: in a heartbeat, the soul vanishes. I see this phenomenon every day: a light dimming. You hear it in the news: people acting strangely, going off the deep end. The most bizarre behavior becoming the new normal. A thug bites off a finger. Sarah Palin’s church is torched. Black Panthers intimidate voters. An esteemed Columbia University black architecture professor punches a white female coworker in the eye for not doing more about white privilege. He has no history of violence. Why now? Meanwhile, liberal leaders use incendiary language, such as “barbarians,” “Nazis,” “tea-baggers,” telling the Tea Party to “go to hell.” The head of one of America’s biggest unions incites union members to violence: “Let’s take these son of a bitches out.” When Barack Obama takes the stage to follow this incitement, he says he is “proud,” and the following day his press spokesman refuses comment. Why now? This may be the most important question of our time. Why are some people reaching the boiling point? Why now? It’s Obama, of course. As soon as Obama came on the scene, the programming began. His face was plastered everywhere, like Mao’s. In his speeches, Obama lulled audiences with a melodious voice and feel-good phrases repeated over and over. And he began inciting people with his charming smile. •First, the vultures starting swooping down on Hillary. Obama chose not to call off the dogs. •Then thugs invaded caucuses. Again, silence. •Which led to vicious misogyny against Sarah Palin and threats on her life. From Obama: not a peep. •We even saw armed thugs at polling places. Ignored and not prosecuted by Obama’s attorney general. The moment Obama became president, he upped the signals. At the Grant Park rally celebrating his victory, the entire family eerily chose to wear black and red, colors associated with communism and black nationalism. Obama’s first radio address was broadcast in the Arab world. Obama returned Britain’s gift of a Winston Churchill bust while embracing dictators. He gave a white police officer a dressing down for doing his job, in effect calling the officer a racist. Obama’s greatest magic trick? Brainwashing the masses to believe that racism is a greater danger than radical Islam, and that Obama himself is in constant peril. Opposing health care means you oppose Obama. Oppose Obama and you are the enemy. Thus, more and more people are finding themselves on the receiving end of a fist, figuratively or literally. After the White House released a directive for his followers to strike back hard, a frail, diabetic black man at a Town Hall was beaten up. So what’s the endgame here? The first goal is power. The left has an insatiable need to control every aspect of our lives. But there’s a deeper reason, one much more insidious. The left wants to tear Americans down. Just as the Weatherman did to those naïve lost kids, they want to break our spirits. This goal of degradation is more crucial than their one-world government. The progressives want to turn us into them, to make us feel as deprived and depraved and deadened. It’s the only way that they can silence the roar of shame and self-loathing. Poverty of the spirit. No truer words can be spoken of the progressive left. And they want nothing more than impoverishing your spirit as well.

Did you know: Rick Perry was: 1-an Eagle Scout; 2-an Air Force pilot (captain); 3- named one of the ten most effective members of the Texas legislature; 4-Texas agriculture commissioner (being re-elected by a wide margin); 5-Lieutenant Governor of Texas; 6-the longest continuously serving U.S. governor currently in office; 7-the longest continuously serving govern in Texas’ history; 8-second-longest serving governor in U.S. history? Did you know: Barry Obama: 1-was a pot head; 2-had no job we know of except “part time lecturer,” and serving 6 years in the Illinois senate; 3-was marginally re-elected each time he ran for the state senate (can you say, “ACORN voter fraud”) 4-was elected Senator in a fluke, when his opponent – leading by a wide margin – got caught cheating on his wife; 5-was a Senator for only 18 months before running for president; and 6-the first president in U.S. history to hate our country? feel free to expand
(WaPo) — With the outcome of his own reelection effort 14 difficult months away, President Obama suffered a sharp rebuke Tuesday when voters in New York elected a conservative Republican to represent a Democratic district that has not been in GOP hands since the 1920s. Bob Turner, the winner, cast the election as a referendum on Obama’s stewardship of the economy and, in the state’s Ninth Congressional District, which has a large population of Orthodox Jewish voters, the president’s position on Israel. With 75 percent of the precincts reporting at press time, Turner had a commanding lead, with 53 percent of the vote, compared with 47 percent for Weprin. Turner, 70, a retired cable TV executive who has never served in elective office, defeated Democratic State Assemblyman David Weprin, 55, who has two decades of experience in public service, to fill the seat left vacant when Anthony Weiner (D) resigned in disgrace in June after more than 12 years in the House. The defeat came as Republicans trounced Democrats in another special House election Tuesday, in northern Nevada, where Republican Mark Amodei led Democrat Kate Marshall, 56 percent to 39 percent almost from the start. In both contests, the GOP pulled ahead by linking the Democratic candidate to Obama and his handling of the economy. Both Republican contenders urged voters to “send a message” to the president.
And so what about all those polls that give "Republican" Congress low marks? Obviously voters are trying to improve Congress by flushing Democrats.
SOLYNDRA OFFERED $535 MILLION LOAN GUARANTEE BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Fremont, CA, March 20, 2009 — Solyndra, Inc. announced today that it is the first company to receive an offer for a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) loan guarantee under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Solyndra, a Fremont, California-based manufacturer of innovative cylindrical photovoltaic systems, will use the proceeds of a $535 million loan from the U.S. Treasury’s Federal Financing Bank to expand its solar panel manufacturing capacity in California. “The leadership and actions of President Barack Obama, Energy Secretary Steven Chu and the U.S. Congress were instrumental in concluding this offer for a loan guarantee,” said Solyndra CEO and founder, Dr. Chris Gronet. “The DOE Loan Guarantee Program funding will enable Solyndra to achieve the economies of scale needed to deliver solar electricity at prices that are competitive with utility rates. This expansion is really about creating new jobs while meaningfully impacting global warming.”
