Plenty of private capitalists lost their Solyndra bets, also. aka, how the free market invested game works.
But they actually chose to invest their money. The U.S. taxpayers didn't.
Not only that, by jiggering with the bankruptcy rules, once again, Obama has managed to place the taxpayer -- the investor with the most skin in the game -- subordinate to one of his crony private investors when it comes to recovery.
There are a lot of things this administration has done that should lead to impeachment, this is just another. But, at least his media s are paying attention this time.
impeach him!
I'm all for it.
**I take that back; I'm more in favor of him suffering a humiliating defeat at the polls next year. It's too late for impeachment.
and what if he wins?
Then, I'd be in favor of impeachment beginning the day after the electoral college certifies the results of the election.
how the tables have turned
Except, you have allegations of real crimes not ones based on political opposition.
Oops
- Misled Congress about Threat from Iraq - violated le 18 USC 371 and 1001
- Shaped Intelligence to Justify War with Iraq
- Lied about Uranium from Niger
- Lied about Aluminum Tubes
- Lied about Congress having Same Information as Bush
- Bush did not meet the requirements of HJR114 and therefore invaded Iraq without authority.
- Illegal Electronic Surveillance - violated FISA laws and 4th amendment
- Torture of Prisoners - violated Federal Anti-Torture Laws and Geneva Convention
- Violated International Law
- Refused to comply with Congressional Subpoenas
like outing a CIA operative?
The doctor is the last person I'd call if I had an erection for four hours. Just sayin'.
A lot of reasonable people disagree over quite a few things related to the Valerie Plame "outing," not the least of which is whether or not she enjoyed protection under the specific statute in question and that it Richard Armitage -- of his own accord -- who leaked her name.
Again it was generally Bush's political opponents who made hay of this.
"generally Bush's political opponents who made hay of this."
ing duh! it was dubya's gang, esp head, who went after Wilson for seriously exposing head's lies about yellowcake.
shouldn't you apply the same logic to this loan fiasco now?
or is this "i'm too much of a politacl hack to not care that I am a hypocrite" thing?
well thankfully bush did keep his word that the military solution for Iraq was of last resort...
Why do I care? The WH pimped a loan so I feel we need to get to the bottom of it..impeachment if necessary..
Forget everything else that Obama and Bush did wrong. What's your opinion of the Solyndra issue?
Solyndra is a victim, like so many corps, and esp Human-Americans pitted against Chinese/Indian workers make $20/day, of China's -30% under-pegged currency.
China's rigging the trade game, using US $Ts to subsidize Chinese companies with $10Bs/year to undercut/kill more US productions and jobs, then suck in more US $Ts, in virtuous circle for China and UCA, and vicious circle for Human-Americans.
Solyndra is no big deal, the money was mostly spent in USA, not overseas, not sucked in to Wall St.
China the price leader, now or very soon.
"The data should not be a surprise to solar industry followers who have seen three U.S. solar companies declare bankruptcy in the past few weeks and ongoing industry consolidation. In another indication of tough times, solar industry analyst Jesse Pichel of Jefferies this morning cut his ratings for three Chinese solar manufacturers, citing questions over demand in Europe and "adrift" prices.

Hey, don't get me wrong; I'm all for Richard Armitage having his day in court but, as I've already said, reasonable people disagree over whether or not a crime was even committed. And, without a prosecution and conviction after lo' these many years, I'm doubting that's going to happen.
I believe I used the word alleged. I think there should be an investigation and prosecution if it reveals criminal activity.
