Funny. Too bad he forgot to mention that the Obama administration revised the terms of the loan guarantees so that the TAXPAYERS take a position BEHIND the private investors like George Kaiser if a bankruptcy occurs. (Can the stupid jokes here, folks, this is YOUR Half a Billion Dollars of taxpayer money that is going to be lost.) That is an abnormal arrangement when federal loan guarantees are involved. Wonder why it happened???

This is bad! Bad because the MSM is a actually reporting on this! I guess they couldn’t keep quite anymore, it’s all over the place. Plus DEMs are turning on the brilliant one (vomit). Move on, nothing to see here. Quick, how about that Palin?!

Since you are a media site, how about a story on the virtual liberal media blackout of this story?

Oh and that’s not the only scandal brewing:

White House Pressure for a Donor?The four-star Air Force general who oversees Air Force Space Command
walked into a highly secured room on Capitol Hill a week ago to give a
classified briefing to lawmakers and staff, and dropped a surprise.
Pressed by members, Gen. William Shelton said the White House tried to
pressure him to change his testimony to make it more favorable to a
company tied to a large Democratic donor.http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/09/15/lightsquared-did-white-house-pressure-general-shelton-to-help-donor.htmlI look forward to the liberal media ignoring this scandal as well. 

And people think Jon is Liberal

Sorry Wylcef, I think the Obama 2012 campaign is going with a different theme song……..

http://sadtrombone.com/

1.3% of the Green budget failed, the rest succeeded…

Holy Shizballs… this is going to be a doozie.

Is he cut ?

With President* Obama now in the spotlight for fraud and corruption will the MSM follow up and show how this tool is turning the United States into a Banana Republic? Wake up America and vote this fraud out.

So, we had to wait for Jon Stewart’s wise cracking commentary for Mediaite to bring up the Solyndra scandal. Of course he did a fair job of minimizing it, regardless of it’s importance. Making it about the defense of green energy was a misdirection to obfuscate. It’s about the scandal itself and he knows it.

Bet this won’t get more than 30 seconds on Today or NBC News programs, Solyndra will be a forbidden word on MSDNC. 
But, it will get worse, when you hear about the thousands of dollars in fees paid to Goldman and other consultants to help secure the loan guarantee. Bet this deal was larded with fees to all sorts of other Obama connected groups. This will be the gift that keeps giving.
Now, Stewart repeats the claim that this was 1.4% of the portfolio, want to guess how many more Solyndras are out there and can blow up over the next 16 months. With Republicans in control, it will be much harder to the DOE and administration to hide them. Perhaps the AP can get off their ass and do some investigation, but not likely.

His only hope is that the Republicans present the Americans with a gaggle of horrifying buffoons from which to choose from……oh wait….

(This excludes Ron Paul. Of course, most conservatives apparently have no idea what actual conservatism looks like.)

I always thought the definition of a ‘Liberal was best described as deceitul. May the impeachment process begin.

Excuse me, care to guess what the overall success rate will be on all these investments ?
What is clear is that well connected political supporters of Obama will have gotten billions of dollars in sweetheart loans, taxpayers will be taking the risk and likely get little in return. 

George Kaiser is the obvious scoundrel here, and the biggest loser. Other administrations have had far worse scandals, and this kind of thing is rare to happen to Obama. As for getting anything back from this, Kaiser is likely to be the last one to get anything.Any stock he owns is now worthless. Any bonds he may have bought are now worthless. Company assets will be sold of to pay SUPPLIERS and any wages that are still owed. There won’t be any money left for investors to get hold of.

I’m not saying Obama didn’t make a gigantic mistake. He was too desperate to have an obvious “green” project succeed, partly because CHINA is succeeding in the solar energy area, and that is especially embarrassing to the US. By succeeding, I mean economically as in Chinese companies are making a profit by selling Solar energy stuff to us! Yup! Those jobs are going to China, but Obama wanted to bring THOSE JOBS back here!

You conservatives love complaining that Immelt sends jobs to China, but when Obama tries to bring some back by backing a Solar Energy company and it falls through, you think it was all a scam.Keep on thinking that. I know you won’t listen to anything else.

I was just going to bring that up.
Also:
Other government funded “green” companies failing: Evergreen Solar & SpectraWatt (not Obama related)
The CLASS Act scandal used to fudge the CBO numbers so Obamacare would look better.

More violent crimes connected to Fast & Furious.

The MSM is going to have to shut the internet down if they want to keep manipulating us.

Yea. Yea. Banks and lawyers always make gigantic fees on this stuff. Nothing unusual at all there.
You want to get rich? Become an investment banker. You always get the big fees, even when the deal you helped put together fails six months later. You don’t care. You got your fee up front.

The only problem is that this isn’t O’s only “Gate” situation.

Bombshell: General accused WH of pressuring him to change testimony for Democratic donor:

http://hotair.com/archives/2011/09/15/bombshell-general-accused-wh-of-pressuring-him-to-change-testimony-for-democratic-donor/

To clarify what Titzy just said:

If this company goes bankrupt George Kaiser (an investor) gets to get his money first.

Then you… the sucker… I mean taxpayer… assuming there’s anything left… which there probably won’t be.

I consider this a well done transfer of wealth by the Obama admin.  Brazen, scandalous, and not even well hidden perhaps–but well done nonetheless.

Watch to the end.  The President has lost Jon Stewart.

Ron Paul 2012!!1!!

Two words.
Scay Thing.

stick a fork in Obama…..He’s DONE…..

America is screwed anyway you look at it. The crazy republican party, now this obama crap that the R party will harp on. i just am scared to see one of the republicans to get in office im not R or D im just scared of Michelle B and Rick P and Mitt oh and Palin but do we even care about her anymore. all in all any government no matter what will have problems we are humans after all… oh and all we care about is $. $ $ $ thats all the world is, its sad but true love is nothing $ is love

no………but they will eventually turn off comments on all sites……it’s already happening…..when they can’t control the message..they shut it down

facts please………and I want verifiable links

It’ll be Romney…….but ANYBODY would be better than Obama

A Garglng-Obamaddicted ‘buffoon such as yourself must be aware that no matter who the Republicans have on the ticket, Obama’s lying, corruption, and just plain downright stupidity is what will be voted out. You wipe out every Republican candidate right now and nominate the DC dogcatcher in their place Obummer’s still goin’ bye-bye! Capiche?

Is your head so far up this guys ass that you can’t see the light of day? Obama was NEVER READY FOR PRIME TIME…..the media created this guy……..now, will they cover this……or try to brush it under the rug like you’re trying too…

I wish it were so.  Have you seen the huge crowds of balloon heads cheering at his public appearances ?

Awww, how sweet of Obama!  He was only thinking about us when he fast tracked the money to Solyndra!  Who knew?  Looked like cronyism to me.

Here’s a free Econ 101 lesson for you – If a company cannot thrive without corporate welfare, it’s because there’s no demand in the marketplace for that product.

China is not succeeding in green energy.  China uses fossil fuels like the rest of us because the technology is not there for “green energy” to be as cheap and efficient as fossil fuels.  In fact, read here:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/17/study-warns-of-shocking-fossil-fuel-use/

If by succeeding in green technology you mean selling us magic beans, then you’re correct.

You have your opinion, and I have mine.

He is a democratic socialist and an avid Obama supporter.  He has to criticize his guy sometimes just so he can look “fair”.

LightSquared? New to me. I’ll check the link you provided.

Obama, being directly involved, turns this into ‘Dick Nixon/Watergate territory. Just as Nixon chose not to accept responsibility because of his ego, Obama will shoot himself in the foot the same way and reports are there’s more of this to come. The more people know about this lying Keynes-yan the more Democrats will turn on him to save their own bacon-that’s what YOU PEOPLE are about!

When I lived in CA, local talk radio (real cool guys) was always talking about failed green projects/efforts taking place. I am all for green energy as a vehicle to ease off of energy supplies. But I also believe in the market dictating that instead of government shoving it down our throats.

Least we forget the justice department just shreded all the evidence against Bank of America and Bernie madoff or the 80 Billion dollars ‘lost’ by contractors in the wars.  Of course we have to also ignore the fact that Exxon, Yahoo, Verizon, Fed Ex, and a host of other companies do not pay federal tax.

So all of a sudden we are all surprised some bs green company beat us out of 500 million.  Anyone notice the same people that profited from the financial meltdown are still in charge of, everything?  You wonder why the ‘liberal media’ owned and operated by some of the largest companies in the country want to keep people like Bush and Obama in office?

We live in a plutocracy and there is no mystery where our money goes.  It goes to the insiders it goes to investors and big corporations – follow the money, they  are the ones getting richer than ever while we all argue over birth certificates and bogus yellow cake uranium…

Me too, WCinWI.  I can’t wait for the day until we figure out a better alternative to oil that’s cheap and effective.

In the meantime government keeps acting like venture capitalists taking risks with our money.  That’s not good for anybody.

Now back to my fantasy of Alex Alvarez and Mediaite staff whispering sweet nothings into my ear wearing Reagan masks!

Sorry “NonElite”. My reply was to “im_lovin_it”. I swear Mediaite jacks with my replies.

I really don’t think Obama knows what he is doing and man this poor guy is under stress.

I’m more impressed with the way Alex addresses us directly. Way to go, mediaite! This is the way to engage your audience!

He just wants people to think he’s liberal. 

Thank GOD for FOX News, the ONLY Fair & Balanced News Source backed up with Truthful Facts…! Otherwise we would never know about all of the CRIMINAL activities of the oBUMbler Administration such as Solyndra Gate, the gun running to Mexican Drug Cartels by Hussein oBUMmer, O’biden, and their Chicago Mob Bosses aka The Chi’town Godfathers, especially their idiot Attorney General. As Mark Levin says, what the hell Law school did he go to??? oBammy is one and done and January 2013 canNOT get here soon enough.

BTW…Why is LSD/PMSnbc so damn afraid to do truthful stories about Chrissy ‘Tingles & Thrills’ Matthews buddy who won’t give Tingles the time of day. LSD/PMSnbc is Bobamma’s cover. They lie like it is about to go out of style and they want to get in every lie they can before a REAL President takes over OUR White House.

And another bigtime scandal is about to make people really sick of this crookled Administration. And everyone in Congress who votes for a $200 million bail out of a large Law Firm that is buddy-buddy with you know who…OwhammyBammy. This guy is making Jimmy Carter look like an almost halfway decent President.

why are you a coward? is it because you have no pee pee?

you’re absolutely right…but Obama was going to CHANGE all that…..He was supposed to be different….he gave us HOPE……or so everyone beleived. Honestly…..I knew this guy was full of shit the first time he opened his mouth……..the only thing I gave him credit for was being a good speaker………but that was also BS…..it was all his teleprompter. Karma is a bitch…..and Obama’s Lied one too may times……he will CRASH AND BURN bigtime. What goes around……..comes around……and his circle is closing.Unfortunately….it seems like he’s going to take the whole country down with him.

Oh Alex that was a good laugh, great article.

OK. I will admit that Democrats have proven to be cowardly. They continue to cave in to Teapublicans, and they don’t deserve to be re-elected.
The worse news is that Teapublicans don’t deserve to be re-elected, either. Polls show that nationwide, Teapublicans are less re-electable than Dems are, but in a one-on-one contest Teapublicans still win.
Life sucks now, but will suck more later.

crookled s/b crooked

Need an ‘EDIT’ button

I think Jon Stewart would probably have way better material if he mainly targeted him humor to the left. Liberals do a lot more lame things that conservatives. 

Like the Chevy Volt succeeded? Where do I find this information. I’ve read far too much to the contrary to take your 1.3% seriously.
It sounds like exaggerated propaganda from the green sites

it’s becoming clear,especially after reading the Whitehouse blog today, that our tax dollars are being used as a sort of Guinea pig in these green energy ventures. 

but then, seeing how they knew the company was unstable, it may have been intentional so a few special people end up benefitting in the end. 

Obama has skated through many scandals that would have destroyed any other Presidency. Nothing sticks to the guy. Of course that is due to an obsessed and over adoring MSM.
He’s a Teflon empty suit.

Our new communist corpo facsict adminstration has a real problem – besides colluding with the worst corpo pig trough greedy theft machines backed into the USA banking system and the entire worlds as their mega trillion dollar worldwide payoff prove, they also as fascists suck up entire private enterprises and nationalize them and take over their means of production in ful ownership – THE TRUE HORROR IS WE HAVE A FASCIST AND COMMUNIST OBAMA DICTATORSHIP COMBINED – AND ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ENTIRE AISLE AND SEATING THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS TAKEN OVER AND USED TRILLIONS UPON TRILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS TO PUMP INTO THE COMMUNIST SOCIALIST STATE WELFARE CONTROL OF EVERYTHING PLANS WHILE COLLUDING WITH THE CORPO-CO TAKEOVER AND TAX FUNNELING NAZI LIKE MUSSOLINI-ISM…
—
I SAY CONGRATULATIONS DEMOCRATS YOU HAVE A NEW SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT GUARANTEED TO CRASH TE ENTIRE FUCKING WORLD FASTER THAN ANYTHING HUMANITY HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE – YOU HAVE COMBINED FASCISM WITH COMMUNISM AND NOW FUCKING OWN AND CONTROL IT ALL – HALF INTO BOTH OF YOUR FORMS OF TOTAL CONTROL TYRANNY ON THE BACKS OF THE TAXPAYERS – AND TO BOOT – YOUR LIBTARD NEWSPEAK AND GOVSPEAK SHRIEKS OUT “TAX BREAKS AND TAX REDUCTIONS” AND DECLARES NOT JUST THAT THIS WILL COST US ALL NOTHING –
 BUT THAT IT WILL SAVE US TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS !
EVEN AS THE NATIONAL DEBT SKYROCKETS PAST THE EDGES OF THE KNOWN HUMAN SYSTEM.

C O N G R A T U F U C K I N G L A T I O N S  !

Yet another Greendoggle…

That cleaver Jon.

Thanks for the link, it’s the first I’ve heard of the”LightSquared” issue.

jon stewart proves once again that he, along with bill o’reilly are the only two people on cable worth watching on a consistent basis.  he (they) is (are) most certainly fair, balanced and oh yes, unafraid.  this story is a perfect example where fox news meets fake news ‘cuz you just can’t make this s#%@# up

Dear Readers,

I’ve followed the Solyndra story since it broke, and I’ve been impressed by the (usually pro Obama) MSM coverage of it. And now, in a matter of about 8 minutes, Mr. Stewart has made the most damning case against President Obama’s involvement that I could have imagined.

I don’t simply think that Mr. Obama will lose in 2012. I think that decades from now, his four years in the Oval Office will be cited as one of the most inept, inexpert and corrupt administrations in U.S. history.

Well….  there is more..

The Pentagon has worried for months that a project backed by a
prominent Democratic donor might interfere with military GPS. Now Congress
wants to know if the White House pressured a general to change his testimony.

The four-star Air Force general who oversees Air Force Space Command walked into a highly
secured room on Capitol Hill a week ago to give a classified briefing to
lawmakers and staff, and dropped a surprise. Pressed by members, Gen. William
Shelton said the White House tried to pressure him to change his testimony to
make it more favorable to a company tied to a large Democratic donor.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2011/09/15/lightsquared-did-white-house-pressure-general-shelton-to-help-donor.html

The writers and editors at Mediaite must be unhappy to see so many conservative and libertarian comments attached to their DNC-approved articles.  But when they started blocking obscene and spam comments, they ought to have realized that this would eliminate 98% of the responses from the Left. 

What you’re describing appears to be more of a supply side situation than a demand side situation. 

Uh, it already is.

We could go all out nuclear.

There are at least 4 more of these that are very shaky and may collapse soon, the government has no business financing private businesses to this extent especially in markets that are this risky..  They are trying to force the economy and apparently they as in most things are doing so with little to no expertise. It also really looks bad that Obama is allowing large donors to benefit from these loans.  

You are fucking pathetic!

“Look over there!”

Obama will be in about 6 months if his poll numbers don’t improve .

I would like to agree but he’s spending millions and millions of dollars having history re-written as we speak.

I’m a little on the “Meh” side of this story.

It is tantamount to laundering illegal campaign money, if not in fact.

“Thank GOD for FOX News, the ONLY Fair & Balanced News Source backed up with Truthful Facts.”

LOL!

The only person who failed more than Obama is..

Sigh.

hurgle gurgle… Bush thought about doing it… burr derp….

Take that!!!

1 comma & 3 periods in that whole rant. oh and 2 random exclamation points with nothing but buzz words and rambling. 

They gave guns to Mexican drug lords to kill Americans and Mexicans alike in an effort to prompt more gun control laws.

Way bigger than 9/11

And by succeeded you mean “didn’t go belly up in 12 months”

Talk about defining success down.

I love the baseless claims that the MSM is ignoring this story.  ABC NEW broke the story and even the Today show on NBC has covered it.  

I love the baseless claims that the MSM is ignoring this story.  ABC NEW broke the story and even the Today show on NBC has covered it.  

With a little more than a year left for his first term, I’m sure that this, Fast and Furious, and LightSquared won’t be the only scandals coming down the pike. He’s certainly giving the Republicans, including whomever his opponent will be, plenty of ammo for the months ahead.

I’m sorry you are afflicted with your DNC endorsed illiteracy that sees punctuation and like a compulsive liar claims zero comprehension.
PS- you forgot to whine about the caps.
LMAO

Dude, that was an epic takedown!

Golly, isn’t pay offs for campaign contributions with taxpayer dollars illegal? Maybe not for the Teflon empty suit.

Since Obama and his green worship base won’t let us drill for oil, won’t let us frack for oil, won’t let us tap natural gas, is closing down coal mines and coal power plants by forcing far too expensive upgrades to fast with millions in legal fees and red tape, and his base of dim libs and democrat sellouts and indoctrinated retards shriek no war for oil, and have a dream of taxing gasoline at $2.50 per gallon to really “stick it to those big rich evil oil companies” – BUT
 WHOSE POLICIES OUTLINED ABOVE ARE DRIVING THE OIL PRICES THROUGH THE ROOF and causing “the record profits” they literally WHINE about on a NATIONAL STAGE…
 Whose fault is it really, you stupid, stupid people.

Obama whines about oil companies and their record profits as he stops drilling and drives the price of oil and gasoline through the roof…

You know, Obama and his evil regime must be laughing their asses off at you stupid sheep.

White House worried about Solyndra default
WASHINGTON (AP) – White House officials discussed the political ramifications of a possible default by a troubled solar energy company that received more than $500 million in federal loans, newly released emails show.Emails released Thursday night show that Obama administration privately worried about the effect of a default by Solyndra Inc. on the president’s re-election campaign.”The optics of a Solyndra default will be bad,” an official from the Office of Management and Budget wrote in a Jan. 31 email to a senior OMB official. “The timing will likely coincide with the 2012 campaign season heating up.”The email, released by the House Energy and Commerce Committee as part of its investigation into the Solyndra loan, showed that Obama administration officials were concerned about Solyndra’s financial health even as they publicly declared the solar panel maker in good shape.

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9PPBR2O1&show_article=1

Nature Freak is.
Blame my parents.
What do you look like?
Hawt?

This is no Teapot Dome scandal. No legs.

I refuse to punch my computer screen in, as the new season of “Squidbillies” started on Sunday.

Solyndra sounds like some exclusive real estate development on the Gulf Coast.

Give Paul Krugman a cabinet position. Piss the Conservatives off!

Can’t see what the HUGE deal is… new ventures sometimes flop. Other countries invest in new technologies, it’s just how things work. Stop acting like this is some referendum on Obama, oil will run out and as much as people want to act like clean energy is annoying, we need it because we won’t have much else to harness in the coming years.

I wish Stewart’s writers were smart enough to work for Redeye.

I see the little gNOpigs are counting their chickens again.

Educamate yourselves, gNOpiggies. Project “gunrunner” started in 2005.

Got that you morons?! 2005. So if you idiots want to start issuing indictments, you can start in Crawford, TX.

The best part is that George Kaiser made his fortune in his family’s OIL business and, then, by purchasing the Bank of Oklahoma (did that bank get a bailout?).

Yep, I agree. FOX NEWS,  the ONLY Fair & Balanced News source also has comedians under contract. You can start with Bob Beckels and Sean’s old sidekick, Alan Colmes. So yes, besides FOX NEWS, the ONLY Fair & Balanced News source being very serious about the news and their listeners getting it correctly they still leave room for some good belly chuckeling laffs as in your LOL. Now if you are really interested in some major league laughs then you need to click your remote you play with over to LSD/PMSnbc. That cable network has clown shows on 24/7/365. When I tune in for 15 – 20 seconds I ROTFFLMAO. Any longer and I start puking…!!!

Hey, nice talking to you, little Dudette.

Whew, I can sure see a do-over 1st Grade for you. Maybe go ahead and start this semester over now so you can gradjumeeecate to the 2nd grade in 2013. Good luck kiddo, but when you wear your shorts down around your ankles and your baseball cap sideways it might be best if you crawl back across the border and get back to your home outside OUR USA. I am quite sure your mommy is out looking for you as I type. Then again probably not. Never mind.

We shall see.

I will be more impressed when a mainstream source posts this. Breitbart is wrong more than it is right.

Again, we shall see.

You’re not seriously trying to say Red Eye is funnier than the Daily Show are you?  The hacks on Red Eye are on at 3a.m. for a reason.

How many more of these have to happen to equal the $6 billion  that vanished from a couple of tractor trailers in Iraq?

“Bush admin pushed Solyndra loan guarantee for two years”

This is a lie. It is the White House spin. Anyone with half a brain can tell this is bull.

The loan process was NOT INITIATED by the Bush admin.

Solyndra APPLIED for a loan from the Government.
Solyndra INITIATED the loan process!

Why lie when the lie is so well known?

When someone goes to buy a new car, it is the person going to buy the new car that INITIATES the new car purchase, Not Ford, GM, Toyota whatever.

“In fact, the Solyndra loan guarantee
was a multi-year process that
the Bush administration launched in 2007.”

No, it was not. In 2005 The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub.L. 109-58) was passed and signed.

There is NOTHING in Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub.L. 109-58) that say’s Solyndra.

However it does/did allow companies like Solyndra to apply FOR subsidies for wind and other alternative energy producers.

Fact is Solyndra applied FOR these subsidies for wind and other alternative energy producers.
Fact number 2 is the Bush admin turned them down!

Per ABC

The White House also noted to ABC News that the Bush administration was the first to consider Solyndra’s application and that some executives at the company have a history of donating to
Republicans. The results of the Congressional probe shared Tuesday with ABC News show that less than two weeks before President Bush left office, on January 9, 2009, the Energy Department’s credit
committee made a unanimous decision not to offer a loan commitment to Solyndra.

Did ya get that?

January 9, 2009, the Energy Department’s credit committee made a unanimous decision not to offer a loan commitment to Solyndra.

That means the Bush admin refused, rejected, discarded, laugh at Solyndra AND Ended it there.

Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to buy this White House lie?

Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to buy this White House lie?

You beat me to it. I was going to ask how many of these people were outraged by the billions of dollars that seemingly disappeared in Iraq, for a war that was budgeted by Bush officials to be between 50 billion and 200 billion:

http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/01/30/iraq.audit/

How about we procecute eveyone who did something wrong, instead of deflecting and making excuses for them?

The “quick, look over there!” defense is hardly compelling enough to let Obama off the hook here.

I will stand next to you, shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, as you demand Chimperor Bush and the whole Cheney criminal cabal face charges.

Wait, you are NOT going to let them off the hook. Are you?

President Obama screwed, for the 3000th time, the ” real ” American people and  the left wing Obama as their messiah mentally/ethically challenged crowd have one more chosen not to concentrate on their guy breaking the laws of the United States of America, but rather the reaction to him doing so by ” FOX NEWS “.

You lib losers who constantly whine about your kind not being ” real ” Americans rather than looking into this and all the other ‘ fleecing of America ‘ scheems of Barack Hussein Obama ll sit back and yuck it up because Jon Stewart tells you to……..you’re pathetic.

It was also very clever how Stewart framed the premise as if to say there wasn’t a valid reason to be upset with anything Obama did until NOW…

But I think you have to let criticism of Stewart slide here…after all, he has to do a show which caters mostly to hard core liberals. I think he did a pretty good job of laying out the case against Obama, which had to be a bitter pill to swallow for his audience, so to soften the blow he threw in a few perfunctory jabs at Fox News…Its like a losing fighter winning the last round…no big deal.

Staci- if you arent sure, just ask Jon yourself. He’ll tell you he’s a liberal.

Do real Americans idle away as much time as you do, day after day, morning to night?

Snowspot are you from Chicago?
 
Thats the only thing that makes sense as to why you cant see the obvious corruption allegations here.
 
My suggestion? You might be able to see what the huge deal is if you didnt have your head up your ass…

That doesnt explain how Solyndra got the amount of money they did, when they did.

That is what has Obama’s fingerprints all over it..that is what is going to be the messy part for him.

So you can try to spin it as “Obama tried to help this country” but the reality is Obama simply paid off a big campaign donor, Chicago style.

nice comeback..so original and enlightening

Wow, Nature Freak just jumped the shark here…

I always thought him to be somewhat reasonable, but when you are to the left of Jon Stewart on something, you know you’ve ventured off to wingnut island…

Inept and Inexpert, I’ll give you but corrupt? Bush and Darth Vadar were more corrupt…..how much money did Halliburton make off the wars?

You’ll never have seen Fox do the same on the Bush Admin. They were shamelessly propagating their BS and were unable to do a credible critic like this. 

You’ll have to back up that absurd opinion with some facts.  Cite your source.  Don’t tell me to do my own homework either.  You nade the claim, back it up.

Though not a good thing, one would think that position, private investors first, would have the Repubs thrilled since that was their posiition in regard to GM.

This column and comments have been forwarded to Tommy Christopher’s office at attackwatch.com .

You vicious smear merchants cannot pin anything on Obama . He knows nothing . Seriously . Nothing .

This guy in the story below has turned in Valarie Jarrett for her continually misadvising Herr Leader .

OBAMO can’t wash this away because he himself made it a ‘Really Big Show’ when he waddled in there with cameras rolling during the initial pitch. The only things missing during that visit were the obligatory Greek columns, which he probably now wishes were there.

Every time this big-eared cigarette smoker utters the words, ‘Green Jobs,’ he’ll get another well-deserved dose of ridicule heaped upon him.

This whole thing is ‘Fast & Furious’ minus the guns.

^^^^^^ Now that their whole Lib ideology and its King-Maker OBAMO are both being dropped in hot oil each day, THIS is the limit if their response ^^^^^^

What a wonderful year we have before us as haughty, elite Libs whither away and die.

And this administration gave them another no-bid contract, figure that one out. 

OBAMO: “Damn, Michelle…my peeps startin’ to diss me yo over dis SOLYNDRA thing. What chew think I needa do?”

Michelle: “I’ll rush out to talk about how french fries are dangerous and need government supervisions, yo. Our boys at the networks will talk about that and not about SOLYNDRA. They’ve got us covered.”

I believe you’re misled on this point.  The reason this is bad and the reason that the republicans had the position they had in regards to GM are one and the same, the the reason itself is very different than what you propose.  The reason the Republicans were angry at Obama during the GM bankruptcy is because the Obama administration broke Securities law in regards to bankruptcy.

When a company goes bankrupt (as GM did and Solyandra has done now), the assets of the company are liquidated and funds are disbursed to these parties in this order (until the funds run dry): Workers whose pay has not yet been made current, outstanding bill holders with outstanding balances, Bondholders (Senior then Junior), other creditors (holding unsecured debt), Shareholders and investors (Preferred then Common stock then other investors).  If there are any funds left over the judge determines where they go.

When GM went bankrupt, the Obama admin broke the law by changing the order: Workers paychecks, then straight to Union Retirement Plans (which would fall under ‘other investors in the above list).  Senior and Junior bondholders were completely screwed, hence the reason conservatives were outraged.

With Solyandra, once again the Obama admin has broken the law in the same fashion.  The order now is: Workers, George Kaiser and other investors, creditors (including the TAXPAYERS) who lent Solyandra money in the first place.  I’m pretty sure George Kaiser will get his money back (or at least a good chunk of it) while Taxpayers get shafted.  I’m also pretty sure George Kaiser will say ‘Thank You’ in the form of large bundled donations to Obama’s Re-election campaign.

This is a crime and I call it theft… and rightfully so.

One of Obama’s early scandals was Walpingate , where an Inspector General , Gerald Walpin , who was investigating O’s friend Kevin Johnson , was told he had 30 minutes to resign . Only Congress can fire an Inspector General .

Another scandal was when O sent “his” plane to be photographed flying low over the Statue of Liberty .
He had a military guy in the W.H. take the fall for that , and then the guy immediately got a job at the Center for American Progress .

This is what everyone needs to do.  In every election vote out the incumbent weather they have an R or a D next to their name.  Keep doing it until someone does their job

Just as long as no corporate jets were used, we are good here, right?

This actually goes far deeper for Obama than a comedy skit about a scandal.  What you are witnessing here is the first hints of the Democrat Party throwing Obama under the bus for 2012 in hopes he will step aside voluntarily.  If they primary him they lose the black vote.  Of course, their goal would be to have Hillary Clinton run.  She would also lose.

Here’s the bottom line.  In January of 2012, we are going to have a Republican POTUS, a MORE Republican House and Republican Senate (perhaps over 60 Senators).  The Progressive Dream for America is over.  Liberalism is finished, melting like an economic vampire in the light of day.

Thank you President Obama.  You did what no one else has been able to do in America for 240 years – you have once and forever single-handedly destroyed Socialism by exposing it for the empty-headed feel-good ideology that it is.

At this point, Obama is becoming an embarrassment to the black community.  Just think, they finally get a black man in the Oval Office and he is a complete failure when it comes to handling the economy.

Now I am taking a longshot here, but I would not be completely surprised to hear the idea floated that Obama is not REALLY black.  Actually, he is as white as he is black, is he not?  White mother?  So what we may begin to hear from some within the black political community is that Obama was never the first TRULY black President.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Thank you Alex for being brave enough to risk err’thang to report on this hidden scandal. It is clear from looking at the collection of phrases that Obama is in deep trouble. Words such as “Obama”, “federal loans”, “stimulus law”, “green economy” and “several visits” paint a picture with the ink of corruption outlined by the stensil of cronyism. We have been waiting for the great revealing of Obama’s communist masterwork and it is now unobscured by the curtain of press obstruction. No president in American history has been so brazen (except for Taft’s repeated indiscretions at the petting zoo) and now it is time for a terminal end to federal loans through stimulis law investing in the green economy and supported by several visits from corporate heads. Never again…

You lack all grace.

…

Smart people told Obama all along that upwards of 1/3 of his “stimulus” money would be stolen or misspent.  Obama didn’t care because to him spending is stimulus, even when stolen.

Now we know why Africa is such a basket case.

That 6 billion was Iraq’s money all along.  It was money frozen in America when Saddam was in power.  After his removal, Iraq asked for that money in cash because their banking system was in shambles and they needed to pay contractors, government employees, teachers, etch.

What don’t you get about that?  IT WAS IRAQ’s MONEY

I see DISGUST is back to its good ol’ self.

“DISGUST comments failed to load. Contact DISGUST for more information”

or some crap like that.

Anyone can see how the site has IMPROVED.

You made a mistake. Libs are not humans. They are liars. There are NO crazy republicans running and they are not racist or extremists. There is nothing radical being proposed by any republican or the Tea Party. The extremists are the ones attacking the Tea Party.
The Obama lies no longer work.

Even after throwing well over a half-billion of OUR money away on SOLYNDRA, OBAMO waddles back and demands MORE:

“Pass this bill nah…Pass it nah.”

I eagerly look forward to watching Jon make fun of abccbsnbcmnbcnytimes for ignoring or downplaying this story.  We get a comment about FNC, because it is the ONE network that actually reports this news,  but nothing on the ignorance or spiking of this story by the other media outlets.

Jon needs a new gig, or at least he needs to broaden his horizons and hire some new writers.

Quick!  Someone needs to call MSNBC and tell them their web filter is filtering out important news like Fast & Furious, Solyndra, Pentagon Generals being told to change their testimony to Congress by this Administration, etc. etc. etc.

Stewart, Mediaite, and all these comments are being forwarded to AttackWatch.  You are all in a heap of trouble.

Ron Paul would have actually had a real shot this time, if he didn’t insist on having moments acting like your crazy Uncle Larry about things like foreign policy.  He’s his own worst enemy.

I’m a conservative but those are dangerous words.  AnybodyButBush got us Obama.  Don’t make the same mistake.

Wow, the liberals #1 journalist covered this story?!?

It’s funny to watch those simpletons on MSNBC.  They’re nothing but a campaign organization for Obama, right down to their commercials.

I haven’t seen MSNBC do the same to Bammo – so what’s your point?

Yes, he’s been a deep cover double agent for the GOP for over a decade now.  His war of words with the FNC ‘narrative’ is just part of his cover.

amazing!! Even with obama being caught “red handed” in this mess so to speak he still manages to blame this on Bush.

Yes, because Fox News is a News channel.

And this WH wants more tax $’s to spend as they wish?????

I think NOT!  NOT while they are in the WH!

I had originally assumed it was just more incompetence from the “greenies” in the Obama administration.

Honey,we’re burning through our mythical money so fast with BS like this that even if the holy grail of green technology were to show up, we won’t be able to afford to do anything except burn our furniture in the winter while thinking about it.

There isn’t a person out here that wouldn’t want to be off the tit of Middle Eastern oil, and to have green energy that actually worked.  The problem is that we cannot pretend to be venture capitalists when a) we don’t know what we’re doing and b) we have no money and c) our economy is starting to look Third World-esque while d) the technology is either too new to implement or hasn’t even been invented yet and thus is decades down the pipe.

We are NOT in the business of making loans espeically bad loans.  And the only reason why we cannot harness our own energy is because WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO.

Want some common sense in this?  OPEN UP the oil fields of America, get our economy back on track and our country growing again, pay off some of this ridiculous debt and THEN start talking about investment in new technology.

This is like having a discussion about retirement accounts with someone whose credit cards are racked to the max and is facing banktuptcy.  America is living off of it’s parent’s couch and is dreaming about world travel.

First things, first.  It’s unavoidable.

I love how its supposed to give Fox an erection, because they’re the only ones who will report it and Jon knows it. He’s pretty much admitting the MSM is going to ignore the story. Its also hilarious that both Job and this article imply that its only “conservatives” who will be upset about this.

Typical Republicans.  They think the govt. gets everything wrong, except when it wants to execute someone or bomb some place.

Of course! If Kaiser goes broke, how is he going to contribute to Obama’s 2012 campaign?

Why are you a one trick nitwit?

And now SHELTON-gate!

Word leaking that the White House pressured Gen. Shelton to perjure himself in order to protect another Obama big money donor.

You can’t keep up with the corruption of this Administration, and they want more taxpayer money!

Well, at least they’re providing us with plenty of examples for the children of what CRONY CAPITALISM is. 

In other words: “It’s OK. It’s Obama!”

That’s an AP article. Breitbart.com is just an aggregator.

Just imagine this happened under Bush, snowjob.

The issue is Fast and Furious, which started in 2009. Try again, Skippy.

Maybe you can show us, Derek, how we can live without money…or jobs.  Believe it or not, Love does NOT conquer all.  It would be nice if we could sleep on a cloud all day while watching rainbows overhead and eat candy and lollipops, all for free.  Sorry, but one has to face the realities of life.

Solyndra is definitely the ‘poster child’ for the failed stimulus program.   Let the media frenzy begin…

Take heart, Sillicondoc.  All is not lost.  Nov. 2012 will be here before you know it.

Well, we play a lot of golf!

I think it’s great to go after crony capitalism and corruption. can we try to be a little consistent in how we judge it and go after it? Halliburton anyone? We’re not talking 1/2 a billion, but billions and billions. Is crony capitalism only bad when the team you don’t like does it?

 Yeah let’s turn it back over to a white guy from TX because the last one did so great. Sheesh!

Which begs the obvious question, where did the rest of the money go and to whom, under what circumstances?
My guess, trillion dollar boondoggle.

Were you in America during the Bush years? Remember him, the republican guy who had eight years and signed the first bail out checks?

And you are a racist if you try to hold him to any standards.

Why are there virtually NO lib comments on this post? Well, maybe they just haven’t woken up yet and crawled out of their mothers basement to go pick up their welfare check yet. I’m sure that after they’ve done that, and had their morning pint of whiskey, then they’ll be here to enlighten all of us about how this is just a made up scandal by the tea Party.

IMO, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to Haliburton. When Dems  pointed out that bit of crony capitalism we were scoffed at. That was billions upon billions.

That said, it seems obvious that this was pretty incompetent and cronyism. It’s the kind of corruption we need to take note of and root out. If the inference is   ” a republican wouldn’t do something like that”   that’s a freakin joke.  

And what did Halliburton do for the money it made?

There’s Jon Stewart that liberal ideologue political activist going after conservatives again.

Jon that was brilliant as usual. Kudos to you and your staff.

Yep!

I love how he opens this non-scandal by making fun of all the conservatives for their dream of overthrowing this President

Yes, damn this dictator.  A dictator that still has to get things passed through Congress to get any of his evil horrible policies enacted.  Just look how he’s using the military to force a jobs bill through congress.  And when he thought the Supreme Court went against his wishes during the Citizen United decision, he forced them to change their decision by saying “Hey, guys, bad idea” during that most dictatorial of speeches, the State of the Union address.  In other words, we have the man who would be voted the Worst Dictator in the World by all the actual dictators in the world. 

For the firebrands out there who feel that Obama is a dictator and we have a new system of government, I will try to do be reasonable here…and it may be hard to read since I use lower case letters and punctuation.  We don’t have a new system of government, it’s the same one we’ve always had.  I know this because all these evil, Marxist dictator ideas of Obama still have to pass Congress and if they are unconstitutional, have to pass the Supreme Court.  As long as checks and balances are in place in this country, then we pretty much aren’t living in a dictatorship.  Because you pay taxes doesn’t mean you live in a tyranny.  And just because a presidency makes a horrible mistake, it doesn’t guarantee that you can “get anybody to beat the President.”  I was around in 2004 and I really started paying attention to politics.  And really, a lot of Dems had the opinion that anyone could beat Bush, and well, the Dems didn’t beat him.  This scandal is a horrific mistake by the administration.  One that could cost the President his second term, but only if you guys pick the right guy and only if you don’t turn the scandal into a NAZI FUNNELLING TYRANNICAL DICTATORSHIP THAT DESTROYS GOVERNMENTS.  Trust me, Carter was weak and awful, but I’m sure it was that Reagan was the right choice due to his charisma and his presence that helped him secure the victory.  Perhaps if George H.W. Bush has won the nomination, Carter could’ve had four more years even when the controversies.

Fast and furious started under Obama and not Bush. Gunwalker is the umbrella program F&F falls under and is not the problem. The idiotic Obama admin took instituted the program that resulted in deaths of many innocents.

One  of the many differences is Halliburton provided services and where they had screwups in the chaotic environment those were consistent with those of other organizations.  Overall, they earned their money.  Cronyism is less the story here  (though part of it) than this is yet another example of government  pukes making decisions on things they aren’t qualified, and using politics as a reason to spend public monies on their pet projects instead of things that actually of value in the marketplace.  If you want welfare call  it welfare, if the idea is to create a product that sells and creates jobs then its very clear this WH has no clue and shouldn’t be trusted to spend any  of our money – let them spend DNC money on DNC donors.

Exactly, what is the libs used to say about the Bush admin…. “Who knew what & when?”

I think perhaps you are listening too much to talking points rather then spending more time gathering full info above and beyond the cherry picked often untrue soundbite.

where does all this money end up??????

So, I guess for you the squandering of a half a billion dollars while funneling large political contributions back to the President’s political party and then the CEO of Solyndra taking a job in that same administration is a non-scandal to you.

I suppose that you think this is all OK and isn’t a problem for this president?

Watch and learn what happens.

charged the US $9 for a gallon of delivered gasoline?  So what, says Pablo, that’s capitalism at its finest. 

I think all of us assume Halliburton took its profits and created homeless shelters for the veterans of the wars they pimped and hospitals for the injured and made schools and towns and America better (at this point Pablo, you can start humming “America the Beautiful” if it helps you imagine that this war profiteering corporation really had anyone’s interest but their own at heart)…..

They’re just good guys, who poisoned Iraq, stole US tax payer money to perform shoddy work, and tried to cover the electrocution of a Green Beret.

I imagine that for all the no bid contracts Solyndra did not receive, they have yet to try to avoid culpability for the rape of one of their employees

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/15/defence-contractors-rape-claim-block

Still, I’m imagining that they took their war profits and gave it to their
shareholders so they buy McMansions and CDO’s and luxury cars.  And,
that is the right thing to do, isn’t it, Pablo, because they are our
betters and they know what’s best for them….and us.

{you can stop humming now]

Thanks Patsy!

Elect the Republicans, then watch us all, looking for food pantries, and Soup Kitchens.

If Green Technology is viable it will happen without Government help.

What role did Government guarantees, grants and preferential treatment did the fledgling electrical generation and distribution companies have in the late 1800s?  Of the railroad?  What role in the development of the telephone?  Of the automobile?  Of the radio?  Of the TV?

This is simply not the proper  function of Government.  Their job is to provide an atmosphere that allows private individuals to develop new technologies and ways to deliver at a price that is affordable.

There is a reason that 98% of all new Pharmaceutical protocols are created/discovered in private labs sans government grants.  The Government has been very successful only in one medical field that I am aware of:  New surgical techniques to treat traumatic injuries that are then used for similar civilian injuries and developed further in the private sector to extend those techniques to also treat medical conditions.

Exactly what companies are out there that has the capability in physical presence, equipment, men and technology to bid on jobs such as restructuring the devastated Iraqi oil infrastructure or the Kuwaiti oil wells?

If there are any exactly how much time would you have delayed beginning the work to go thru the entire bidding process?

How did FDR handle the critical need for immediate war production after Pearl Harbor? 

Thanks Patsy.

and i would fight for your ability to voice that opinion…..would you do the same for me? One of the reasons you see all this anger bubbling up on these comment posts is because there was virtually no way anybody who was skeptical about Obama could voice their opinion without being labeled a racist….and the Mainsream media was largely responsible for this……..and even after all of Obama’s Bumbling and empty rhetoric…the same media still refuses to call him out

Success would be hundreds of thousands of Volts on the road with eager buyers waiting for their Volt to roll off the assembly line.

Success would be your seeing solar panels going up in your neighborhood.

Succes is neither measured nor defined by simply being able to avoid bankruptcy.

Under the Democrats currently in charge food stamp recipients and poverty are at an all-time high. I guess they don’t talk much about that on PMSNBC?

That was NOT the Republican position on GM- it was to follow the law, which the Obama administration completely ignored regarding the SECURED bond holders. This administration has overtly ignored the law in a variety of transactions, and GM was just one. The company should have gone through a structured bankruptcy, but the Obama administration wanted to protect the unions and reward them, which they did.

This is the first time they have heard anything about Solyndra. The MSM didn’t want them to know too much about it.

Halliburton is still getting no-bid contracts. Have you written the White House to complain?

You probably know where all the best ones are already.

So far we are only seeing the top of the iceberg and we all know how that ended for the Titanic.

“Here’s the bottom line.  In January of 2012, we are going to have a Republican POTUS, a MORE Republican House and Republican Senate (perhaps over 60 Senators).  The Progressive Dream for America is over.”

Sounds like Mordor. Are Republicans like Orcs? Are they dug up rather than born? I guess I’ll have to wait until 2012 to find out :(

“So what we may begin to hear from some within the black political community is that Obama was never the first TRULY black President.”

Thanks for prepping us, man. Thank christ we have white guys like you to point out what the black people are going to be saying in the future. The Democrats don’t have anyone who can do that.

If you read the comments on this article, I think you’ll find that Stewart is 100% correct. I have no doubt that 90% of the conservatives where masturbating while typing their comments out. It’s kind of pathetic to see a group of supposed grown ups cheering like schoolgirls because they see this as a victory for the channel they prefer.

That might have something to do with being in the middle of a recession, genius. Jesus H Christ you people are like children.

Did you guys miss the part where he said Solydra made up at most 1% of the money given out for this stimulus/green job creation?

I’m wondering what such a rational, reasonable, and coherent response is doing here. Thanks for posting it.

I posted this elsewhere this morning, but I’m going to say it here too…WHAT Liberal media blackout??? KPFA in Berkeley has been running the Solyndra story, and not spinning it as anything but negative. This is a very liberal radio station, in a very liberal part of the country, and the story is the top of the news. Jon Stewart blasted Obama for it on national TV for crying out loud. This story is worth covering, is being covered widely, so I wish people would stfu about how it isn’t being covered.

I’m trying to figure out how billions of dollars in sweetheart deals was invented by the Obama administration. The last president, and the ones before him, the next president, and the ones after him (or her) will all be doing the same shit. Ya know if we’d all band together to fix the problem, instead of blaming whichever guy is in office that we are against we might get somewhere. As far as I can tell we are still on the road to nowhere.

You can tell Stewart didn’t enjoy any of that. He wore a pained expression throughout.

Now that was funny stuff.

It took him long enough to finally get around to mentioning this scandle.

All that typing, and no answer to the question. Shaddap, Timmah!

In the words of Sean Connery, “Thats the Chicago Way”!

By the amount of response, I take you did miss it or you’re just plugging your ears going NANA ANANANANANANANANANANANA

I WANNA BELIEVE WHAT I WANNA BELIEVE

The asnwer, your dildo-ness, is that they did not deserve one cent of profit and they received those profits because of the corruption of the Bush administration and the Pentagon.  Had Bush had a D after his name, you WOULD still be calling for his impeachment.

No one asks what the Gambini family does with its “profits,” because those profits are immoral.  Same with Halliburton.

Now, one assumes you have some links for us about the great things Halliburton did with the money they stole?

Why do you use PMS as some kind of prejorative?

HOW LONG HAVE YOU HATED WOMEN?

Fox News!
Bush!
*drink*

gNOpigs!
*drink*

Real poster child, only representing about 1% of the money given out

Wrong, you must be thinking about another grossly incompetent or criminal act under the Bush leadership of the war.  There were more than one instance of money disappearing in Iraq.  The first $6 billion was lost long before any government had started to be re built. What don’t you get about the fact that your tax dollars were stolen and no one in the Bush administration has ever been held accountable.  

Wow half of all American citizens are non-human (yet the manage to lie).  Glad to hear you declare what is and is not an extreme.

PS just for fun lets play a game:  I am a Liberal and I say that ‘you are right’.  As a non-human liar you must conclude that I would only say ‘you are right’  if in fact you are wrong and I am lying about it.

 Uh oh looks like George W. Bush part II is in trouble.  Better get another puppet warmed up in the bullpen – looks like our Corporate Masters are going to need to cut Obama loose…

NEVER SINCE I AM ONE.

In answering my second question,’you managed to avoid my first…

Da da di di da dit News Flash… Breaking News… America realizes they have once again been fooled into voting for a Democrat for president. In recent decades we have managed to vote in the Peanut farmer – the village idiot Jimmy Carter. Then our next blunder was the sex fiend liar and corrupt Slick Willie. Now the greatest crowning achievement is Obama. The CHANGE bringer who hates Americans but likes Muslim Terroists, the president is now been exposed as being more corrupt than the Clintons. The only thing left to see from Obama is the typical Democrat sex scandal then we will have the Democrat tri-fecta of corruption.  

Source this “funneling” accusation please. And not World Net Daily

I didn’t realize that you wanted to wax philosophically about PMS and how I can use the term as a pejorative in respect to MSNBC.  To sum it up simply for you; PMS sucks and so does MSNBC. Easy enough?

How TRUE! 

No wonder Blago was so confused by the charges against him- he was just doing it “the Chicago Way!”

Gee..I wonder why we can’t get out of the recession? I am sure it has nothing to do with who is in charge or any of thier policies they have implemented. I heard somewhere that if we passed a massively expensive “jobs” bill that it would be all unicorns and rainbows for us. Those shovel ready jobs we heard so much about are quite the elusive little buggers. However, I am sure the NEXT jobs bill will bring forth the promised utopia.

Very sloppy writing by the reporter here.  Who says it is a scandal?  The word “scandal” should have been in quotes.  

I agree that everyone has a right to express an opinion.
Unfortunately, the voices of reason are few and far between these days. When so many people resort to words like “idiot,” “fool,” and  “moron,” then “racist” cannot be far behind. Everybody is arguing with anger, not logic.
Does the media refuse to call the president out?
He seems to be hit almost as hard from the left as from the right these days, and he probably deserves it.
Democrats in general deserve to be called out as cowards for caving in to the demands of Republicans.
Republicans do only control one house in numbers, but the Senate can be controlled by one stubborn man. It is “built” that way.
Republicans made a big mistake by not even pretending to accept the fact the President Obama did win the election in 2008. Instant accusations of fraud turned out to be false.
Republicans claim to represent “The American People,” but there are still plenty of Democrats and Independents who say, No you don’t. You don’t speak for ALL of us.

Way to go, Numbnuts99

THAT. WAS. FUNNY.  I laughed my ass off on that one.

Bad news for the dems.  Epic invincibility moment for the GOP….I can see Boehner emulating Mario now: .springing down the halls of Capitol Hill..snagging gold coins, hopping over blocks, knocking dems out of the way. 

Congratulations to Mediaite and Stewart for some much needed objectivity at last. It looks like there’s still hope for mankind.

I take it you’re another who didn’t bother to WATCH the segment. MSM covered it (most of the clips Stewart showed were from non-Fox channels). Stewart’s point about the Fox hard-ons has to do with the fact that this company was used as an example in speeches by the president and failed, even though the contributions only made up 1% of the money given during this stimulus.

Making a mountain out of a molehill is FOX’S MO

Youve exposed your “smarts”

You didn’t watch the piece, did you? Most of the clips he showed were non-Fox.

Do yourself a favor and EDUCATE yourself before posting

And Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon!!

And don’t get me started on the black helicopters!

WOW

that’s some straight up RACISM right there

WOW

What about the other 99% of the monies given out. This 1% is a scandal and a failure, but the other 99%…

Sigh. You didnt watch the segment did you? One of the clips was from MSNBC

Can’t dispute the truth? So just make fun of it?

It must have killed Alex to have to write this story. Well get used to it honey because there’s a lot more BAD news coming down the road.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAJANANA

2012Freedom thinks that 8 years of f-ed up policy, reckless spending, pt d medicare, and two unfunded/never-ending wars can just be cleaned up in two handclaps

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahanananana

WOW!!!
Obama is taking it from all sides (HOORAY!!!)
Kinda’ like…….”Bottom up…..Top down”…..if you know what I mean….
ROFLMAO!!!

Someone makes accusations but doesn’t watch MSNBC

I must have been imagining those clips from msnbc in Stewart’s piece

Hmmmmmm, did you watch the segment?

When you talk about reckless spending I am assuming you are including the spending done by Obama in only 2.5 years that it took Bush 8 years to spend the same amount? Seems to me that Obama continued those wars and even amped them up in addition to keeping intact many of the Bush policies.

Why don’t you do your own homework. I don’t have time to babysit you.

Brett Baier is the only person on that channel with a shred of integrity. Everyone else is either a ditzy milf or a religious-right spinster. I can stomach O’Reilly because he’s at least entertaining and has somewhat of an open mind.

There is NOTHING fair and balanced about that channel except Baier. You are brainwashed.

… …

Reminder: Jon Stewart is an entertainer, and is especially funny when he makes fun of the idiots over at Fox News!! But of course, when Jon makes fun of Fox News, Republicans hate him, makes fun of the President… Republicans love him and give him credibility!! lol!!

Wow. Dude you have issues. And you forgot about the $1.2 trillion bill the country was stuck with from two meaningless wars.

The $38.6 billion loan guarantee program Obama said would create 65,000 jobs only created 3,545, according to Energy Department records reviewed by the Washington Post.
Since 2009, approximately $9.6 billion has been awarded in loan guarantees to companies in the green energy sector, and an additional $9.2 billion has been set aside as conditional commitments, according to Bloomberg.

Despite the current job numbers, DOE officials claim that the loan program is still “on pace” to create or save about 60,000 positions.
Even if all of the 20 companies that have won loan guarantees meet their projections, which given recent bankruptcies in the “green” industry appears highly unlikely, that would still only “create or save ” a total of 8,050 workers.

Stewart was even wrong about defending the other companies

Fast & Furious was a failed attempt by the ATF and Arizona US Attorney Dennis Burke to sell arms to people who would sell them to cartels and they would be able to trace them to make arrests. They ended up being used against law enforcement. Hardly an sattempt to create more gun control laws and hardly failure of the White House.

Yeah, way bigger than 3,000 people being killed. Idiot.

Yes, as much as Comedy Central is a news channel.

You mean Dick Cheney earned his money.

$1.2 trillion on two meaningless wars. You’ll never hear one of these guys give blame where it’s due. They just turn it to the “other side” and start pointing fingers. Well, that’s what FoxNews tells them to do, and by golly they’re doing it.

Really? What do you look like and what are you wearing and what is your cup size?

Not one primetime MessNBC show has covered it.

That’s pathetic, and oh so predictable.

I remember that mistake of Clinton.  8 years of peace and prosperity…consistent economic growth, the only time since the 70′s in which the median wage for all income rose, and Jerry Falwell made a killing making those videos accusing Clinton of all sorts of bad stuff.

It’s weird, because it like little mmfiore just doesn’t believe Democrats are entitled to rule when they win elections….the natural state of man is leadership by crony capitalists Republicans?

But, yeah, digression aside, the 90′s were just terrible for like….well, no one.

None of MessNBC’s primetime, or even, right before Prime time shows have covered it.

Keep suckling your propaganda blanket.

Y’all sort of miss the analogy about the Hindenburg, didn’t you?  If he hates it, it’s because it’s fuel for morons in Congress like Darrell “look over there from the ethics complaint against me” Issa and for more partisan bickering over something which should be a no-brainer;  clean energy.

I know that’s why it pains me.

Way to avoid the whole “Obama reckless spending” comment. Please let me know how you feel about Obama spending as much as Bush did in 8 years in just 2.5 short years? It stands to reason that Obama is on track to WAY outspend Bush. So, if you called Bush’s spending reckless what do you call Obama’s?

If you voted for Obama in 08 to prove your not prejudiced…. Vote for someone else in ’12 to prove your not stupid

 WHAT ELSE ARE THE PEOPLE ON WELFARE GOING TO DO,? WORK

 liberal thought process at work

 try less than 25%

 not if your a welfare hogging Obagger supporter

 not when it’s the public’s money

 not if your a liberal demoncrat

 even a broken clock is right twice a day, but no one  believes it

I KNOW, RIGHT? FILTHY WELFARE QUEENS. I SAY WE COME UP WITH A FINAL SOLUTION.

Or treat them as human beings facing rough times… Eh, no. Fuck nuance.

 he is , but he has to seem truthful with the obvious or no one will take him seriously ,ever again.

 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, hey, there’s an informed knee jerk partisan response.

Once again, let’s deal with corruption, but not crucify some and justify and excuse others based on our partisan goggles.

One  of the many differences is Halliburton provided services and where
they had screwups in the chaotic environment those were consistent with
those of other organizations.  Overall, they earned their money.
 Cronyism is less the story here

  It’s more as I see it. When Cheney was SOD he paid Haluburton 8 million do do a study about what private companies could do and replace the military personnel. Meals, laundry, and a list of things. Then he left government service and became CEO of the company he paid as SOD. Then he stepped down as CEO with a giant multi million bonus package so he could be a heartbeat away from the presidency and push for war, which meant tens of billions in profit for the company he was just CEO of, and who replaced jobs previously done by the military with a subsidiary of Haliburton and services that were much more costly to you and me, the American taxpayers. That smacks of cronyism with a large font in bold. I didn’t know it at election time and I find it hard to believe now that it wasn’t a major issue and topic of discussion.

Going from SOD to CEO of a company paid by tax payer dollars connected to the military should exclude anyone from  running for VP, but we let it happen , and  here we are, ten years into two wars.

I’m don’t approve of the stupidity and waste of the Solyndra, but sadly, 500 million is a drop in the bucket of the rampant corruption and we can’t realistically deal with it with partisan blinders on. That is how we help the corrupt and allow them to continue sticking it to us.

 it’s called “DIVIDED AND CONQUER”, and it is working

 if Obagger gets a second term, it might be the last time you get a chance to vote

Or when it’s  the GOP doing it.

I have a libertarian friend whom I get together with every couple of months and we often talk politics. He defended Bush and the war in Iraq for several years,but finally , one evening he said up front, “Don’t bother bashing Bush to me tonight, because I agree, he’s a horrible president, you were right”

My disappointment goes deeper than that. The fact we are still in Afghanistan and Iraq at all tells me the corruption is worse than I thought.

My disappointment goes deeper than that. The fact we are still in Afghanistan and Iraq at all tells me the corruption is worse than I thought.

 giant spot light on the liberal democrat’s thinking on the second amendment, “we have to get rid of the right to bear arms at any cost”, ammo up , cause the fight is coming

 another “useful fool”

I guess it’s a good thing you only represent 25% of the american people

 you have more wisdom than our current administration

But only if the GOP candidate doesn’t make you look even more stupid. {Which is a distinct possibility}

I understand the need in some cases to award a no bid contract. I’m not talking about the oil wells. Although , since we’ve been there for ten years maybe someone else ought to get to at least bid don’t ya think?

I’m talking about how SOD Cheney paid Hailburton millions to do a study about which facets of the military should be turned over to a private for profit company. Then he became CEO of the company he had just lined up for billions in profits from tax payer money. Then he stepped down as CEO with a multimillion dollar bonus package so he could be VP and get us into a war or two, so the company he was just CEO of could rake in the billions by replacing military personnel with more costly private enterprise {oddly enough a subsidiary of Haliburton. what a coincidence huh?} 

If that doesn’t smack of Cronyism to you in large bold font then I don’t know what else to say.
I’m all for addressing the rampant corruption in DC because I think that is the real and common crisis of average working people regardless of party. We won’t be able to do it if we insist on keeping our partisan blinders on.

Hey everyone. I’m new to politics so someone help me out here, and see if I got this right.

1. Obama steals millions in tax payer money in the form of his porkulus bill and hands it to this company, Solyndra.
2. The company turns out to be utterly corrupt.
3. Eventually Solyndra goes under, and pretty much everyone that works there gets fired.
4. But the CEO of Solyndra gets to keep most of the money from the stimulus, while everybody else gets the shaft.

I always thought Obama was a socialist scumbag (still do, actually), but isn’t this some really weird, horrendously innefficient way for him to implement socialism?

Thanks in advance!

Obama and his Den of Demons reminds me of an Syphlis Eaten Street Whore that no one wants or believes anymore.  Soon, now one will touch this Corrupt, Inept, DisHonorable, No Integrity or Dignity Administration, with the UnAmerican A$$wipe, B. Hussein Obama, as the head of this deadly Serpent!

You sure about that? All the polls say at least 40% of the American people agree with me. That isn’t the majority, I know, but it is by far the biggest group. 

You are welcome in advance.

You are a gullible novice. You didn’t get it right.

“keeps most of the money from the stimulus.” Nope. Paid lots of workers, paid suppliers, and paid other costs of running a business. I’m pretty sure you could look up how much the CEO took in salary, and I bet it was nowhere near half, or even 5% of the entire stimulus money.

This was an ATTEMPT to compete with the Chinese and keep jobs here, but they have a better technology and a big lead in general, so this attempt failed. Everything was wrong with the company, and Obama should have accepted that. Obama did screw up, but not by being corrupt. He picked a loser, maybe because it was the only “green horse” that looked promising to him.

I “represent” at least 40% of the American people. That isn’t a majority, but it is the biggest of the minorities, and there is no majority any more.

I admit I am starting to think we should have gone with Hillary.

IF Obama tried to do that, it failed big time. The campaign donor lost everything he invested in the company when it failed.

I have an answer to all the comments to this shocking news story!!! It is not just Reuters! It’s starting be the whole liberal machine media and there is only one reason why they are finally dumping on Obama and that is they are trying to get rid of him to be replace with another candidate for 2012 elections!!!

It is not that they really care what he is doing. No, it’s he’s bring down the whole democratic machine!

More than likely Evan Byed the former democrat senator who resign 2009 can now run successfully against Obama! As if he is blameless!!!!!

Sarah Palin has been an advocate against “corporate crony capitalism” for 20years now. She is a hug threat to the political machine! In her Iowa Indianolia speech Sept 5 she talk about the political esablishment corruption in both parties and of how to get rid of the corruption!

Palin2012!!!

I think you could be looking at socialism as a moral system. The government controls the economy to benefit socially everybody but with corporate corrupt as a means to the end (prosperity). No, corruption is the end.

The way this deal is exposed to work government (both parties do this) give money to a company on a moral basis (green energy or it could be war against terror), in return we benefit by increase jobs, and the political establishment benefits from company (donating to the politician(s) campaign, donating money to non-profit groups to help pay ads for the politician(s), the emploees of the company donate money to political campaigns, the employees vote for the politician(s)). All this done in the eyes of what is morally right.

Palin2012!!

It must  really, really suck for you morally bankrupt rudderless libs waking up in this foreign ( to you ) land known as ” real ” America once again after three years.  

Get used to it or get out cause you’re not in obama’s amerika anymore no matter how much he or his co conspiratorsin the MSM lie to you to the contrary.

yep…we’re on the road to idiocracy, and both sides are laying the pavement

what you lack in coherency you attempt to make up for with profanity sheer volume, and a fascist thesaurus.  fail.  how many hpv vaccinations have you had?   (if you don’t get it, google hpv and bachman)

“Real” america must be a great place.

Maybe you should come visit us some time, we live in a place called “The real world.”

Last I heard, it was $4 trillion, not to mention 108,000 lives lost on all sides (since 9/11/2001).

Wrong on every count. In fact, ABC news was the one who broke the Solyndra story, which seems like the opposite of “not covering it”

Are you deliberately dishonest in your posting habits, or just plain oblivious and lazy?

Except they did.  Kindly stop pulling stuff out of your rear.

Turned into paychecks and put in the pockets of everyone who worked in or on the factory.  And *they’ve* probably spent that money by now, of which the government taxed every step along the journey. 

It’s true.  His approval in the black community has sunk to a rock-bottom 93% approval rating.  Once again your demographic insights prove impeccable.

You really don’t have to “imagine” it.

Ideally the private market would develop and create all new technologies.  But they aren’t so good at the “new technologies” part, in the sense that they’re averse to risk-taking.

Think of the biggest technological leaps of the 20th century.  Nuclear power, computer technology, the internet, rocketry, plastics.  All of these things began as massive government ventures, and unprofitable ones at that.  Do you know how many decades the government spent pouring billions of dollars into creating the first computers?  They were massive mainframes, incapable of doing much beyond basic math and tic-tac-toe.  Any rational person at the time would call an $800 million dollar electronic adding machine to be massive waste of taxpayer dollars.  But they were necessary incremental steps into uncharted territory which the private sector was unwilling to make, with good reason.  And eventually the technologies were made efficient enough to the point where the free market could see the potential to truly capitalize on them, and take the responsibility of developing them out of the hands of governments and universities.

No,   the  campaign  donor  didn’t  lose  a  thing.     The  Obama   administration   re-wrote  the loan  agreement    providing     George   Kaiser     (the   campaign  bundler)   the  ability    to    be   REPAID   for  his  losses   before  the  taxpayer.    Kaiser    gets  his     $$$   back;    YOU   are  screwed. 

Try   to  understand  the  facts    before  you   engage  your  silly  Obot  emotions. 

Maybe the relevant question is how we got there. It didn’t just happen in the last 3 years.

Just because the media portrays someone that doesn’t share their values as “crazy” doesn’t make it so.  Yes, there are people that think hard work, thrift, and paying no more than you can afford are crazy ideas.  That you should borrow up to your eye balls, spend like a drunken sailor, and leave the mess for someone else to clean up.  It all depends on your values. 

Redistribution of wealth looks a lot like crooked politicians lining the pockets of their masters and themselves.

Obama “hoped” we wouldn’t notice as he “changed” us from the worlds’ premier superpower to a 3rd world banana republic.  Obama’s world is one where he and his gang are the “haves” and the rest of us are the “have nots”.  

Yes, it did happen in the last 3 years. That is why it is the HIGHEST it has ever been.  The Democrats policies is how we got there.

Solyndra is to the Obama Presidency as Enron was to the
Bush Presidency and it all has to do with theft, graft and corruption
perpetrated by the Profiteers. Both Presidents had good intensions but oversight
of all profiteers should be required by quarterly progress reports so as to
better back tract the corruption when problems arise.

II believe in fixing today’s problems, we must first
stabilize people’s attitudes by being sure everyone has shelter, food, clothing
and peace of mind. These things we will pay for in the form of taxes whether we
like it or not, either in the form of repairing damages done by disgruntled
people who feel they have not been treated right, to the people in jail at
$60,000 per year at Tax Payers’ Expense, along with repairing damage done by
mother nature in her various uses of natural disasters and we can go on and on.
Some Capitalist believe everyone for himself, other more intelligent Capitalist
believe in numbers and unity there is strength and progress. The planet earth
is being filled with humans at a rapid pace and they can be organized and
productive or they can be disorganized and animalistic. We are continually
seeing some other nations around the world being animalistic. We can learn from
their mistakes by studying the choices made by their leaders.
From the past 2,000 years we have learned of two thieves being hung on the
cross with the person believed to be our creator, many of us may ask; why two
thieves? Why not two murders?,  or why
not one of each?
We may never know the answer to that, but my guess would be theft is the most
active sin in any of our lives.
I was just making a point to emphasize the vast activities of theft which
includes theft, graft, corruption and all other shenanigans which people and
businesses indulge in to gain a better advantage of acquiring wealth and
happiness. This goes on continually 24/7 throughout the entire world. Then we
generalize which of all the government programs are financially breaking our
great America and other countries.
Here is what we need to do. It is like cleaning up the area after yourself in
the bathroom, if you don’t someone else will need to do it for you and by that
time you will need, carpenters, tile men, plumbers, painters and all because
you were careless and refused to leave things the way you found them in a place
which was in excellent condition before you got there.
Now that you get the idea, if we have a problem with Medicare, Military
Contractors, State, County, City and Federal Contractors, employees, and
Insurance Companies receiving moneys for any reason, someone needs to be
responsible for proving they did what they are receiving money for and a
receipt with receivers name and other important information, besides this, all
products storage areas need be under heavy security with security practices and
receipts need be used for traceable records.
This is the beginning of stopping Theft, graft, corruption, and embezzling
practices. This system should be duplicated and interconnected throughout all
government agencies and programs.
Government programs are necessary and are not financially killing us, the
molestation of our Programs are the reasons for our Deficit. If you cannot see
this, you probably should not be holding Government Office.
Theft, graft and corruption in all their hidden forma are breaking every
country around the world and yet, not very many in the positions to stop it are
stopping it. Do we need to establish a new agency to stop the slaughter of our Governments’
wealth and to pump life into our Federal, states, counties, cities and towns
around the entire Globe? You be the judge and spread the word on all electronic
devices by demanding more security so they don’t destroy our Federal, State and
City programs the various forms of theft. We just need to get the thieves out
of the tax payers’ pockets. Theft is Our Killer Problem.

1. The Clinton administration was setup for good economics by the Reagan administration.
2. For more than half of Cliton’s Administration the congress was controlled by Republicans They were able to keep Cliton fiscally under control. That is why the economic times were good.
Cliton was to busy raping women and having sex in the oval office to do anything to help the American people.

The drunken ramblings of a fool who forgot the Recession of 91-92. Had St. Ronald Reagan the Pious only set up his VP for the economy, Clinton would have never won.

Secondly, the Republican Congress had nothing to do with the fact that they claimed the a rise in taxes would lead to economic depression and it did not.

The second point is silly, since we know Republicans, who just added 5 trillion dollars in debt in the 2000′s, are not interested in keeping spending down. To quote Dick Cheney: Deficits don’t matter (unless the President has a “D” after his/her last name).

As for the third and most silly point, Clinton never raped anyone and the only thin distracting him from his job was probably the mountains of silly investigations into FBI files, travel office firing, and Vince Foster’s death.

What you don’t know about history and politics could fill an ocean
