There has been so much said about Obama and Solyndra so I decided to do a little research as to how this company had qualified for stimulus money. And to look at the GOPTP claim that Obama headed a company that donated to his campaign which I found out was one of those Fox News lies because the president and CEO of Solyndra was actually a registered republican but let's not let facts get confused with Half t***hs .

To put things in prospective we all have to understand corporate failure rate of all companies going in and out of business instead of the propaganda spread by the right that 9 out of 10 companies go out of business. Although the failure rate is high but we have to keep in mind that companies do fail in this country for any number of reasons. But if we don't invest in start up companies there would be no success stories so the stats that I found were as follows. Year #1----25% failure rate. Year #5------55% year #10---71%

Now the clearest evidence that I could find that Solyndra was a worthy recipient of the stimulus is it also attracted big name investors and top venture capital firms including Richard Branson, KKR, and Argonaut Private Equity.
In a 2010 Article in the WSJ named Solyndra the top Venture backed Clean-Tech company. The MIT Technology review named it one of the worlds 50 most innovative companies in the world. Goldman Sachs was the lead investment banker. So the notion that Solyndra was a boondoggle for Obama cronies is silly. The Kaiser Family invested in Solyndra as did a lot of unnamed republicans.
Solyndra's 2nd largest investor was Madrone Capital Partners which is also linked to the Walton Family hardly friends of Obama.

Solyndras lobbyist firm was Bill Weld a prominent supporter of Mitt Romney. Hardly friends of Obama. Kind of blows away Mitts dumb comments.

Solyndra fell also under the Bush Energy Policy Act of 2005 and then was expanded into the American Recovery Act. The Bush administration Department of Energy selected that Solyndra move forward in the process.

I think we all remember when Fox reported they quoted the inspector General said that contracts were steered towards Obama friends I found that to be crazy. Inspector General never said that. Fox was asked for documentation and as it turned out it produced an article , but all it was is an excerpt from a book. (Throw Them ALL OUT) by Peter Schweizer who served as an advisor to Sarah Palin.

The Fox report of course started a major investigation by House Republicans always looking for a scandal. Found no evidence of wrong doing in the Loan Guarantee Program. Fox has still not reported on there findings and allowed the GOPTP to continue to think of wrongdoings. If you read the report it also indicated that Solyndra was seen by many business experts as promising.

The report also indicated that Solyndra had not donated any money to Obama. This was strictly a republican investigation. The investigation consisted of 32 congressional letters, compiled 187,000 pages of documents, 72,000 pages from Solyndra investors 9 committee staff interviews briefings, 5 full committee hearings and $7 million spent and could find no wrongdoings were reported. But did Fox inform there cult followers that nothing found.

It has been reported that the reason the GOPTP scandals persist because it is a handy pretext for demanding documents , and who knows what might turn up. There constant fishing expeditions are just costing this country millions but they never report there findings and just move onto the next fishing expedition.

Just remember there are always risks involved with investing in innovation and corporation succeed and they fail in this country. But does that mean this country stops investing. How many times in the history of this country have we invested innovation and things fail but we lean from it and move on. Only under Obama are such things just blown out of proportion.

Defense Star Wars how much did Reagan invest and we all know what a big failure that was. I am not trying to criticize anybody that invest in innovation that's how our country has advanced. But why now

Your comment is not a very clever dodge of the issue, but if it convinces you and the other knuckle d**ggers and mouth breathers on this site, do and say what you must.

You ask, "Does Obama h**e those he hurts because of his policies?" I would think all presidents hurt some and help some with their policies. Are you able to understand that simple fact? I am absolutely sure of one thing: We hear what we want to hear and disregard the rest.. This is where you say, you too and you are right. I have the same flaw as all humans. The difference is, I am usually (not always) aware of it and you are apparently not aware of it at all. I discipline myself to question what I believe, change what I believe when appropriate and listen to others and you do not and that is the difference between a conservatives and right wing extremist.

Did You Know…anger can have a destructive—even deadly—effect on your health?
Everyone gets angry. But according to Dr. Don Colbert, M.D., author of Deadly Emotions, anger can profoundly damage your health. “Depression, anger, guilt, condemnation, low self-esteem…these are only a few of the lethal toxins…,” Dr. Colbert warns.
He supports these claims with scientific evidence about the effects of anger on the physiological aspect.
Simply put, the effects of anger triggers a biologically embedded “fight-or-flight” response. In ancient times, when human beings faced physical threats like animal predators, the fight-or-flight response saved our lives by pumping our bodies with hormones and chemicals necessary to fuel intense physical action.
However, in modern life, that response is unnecessary 99% of the time. Worse yet, the fight-or-flight response is actually k*****g us, according to Peter McWilliams, author of You Can’t Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought: A Book for People with Any Life-Threatening Illness—Including Life.
That’s why it’s important to teach yourself how to handle your anger and reduce stress in healthy ways that minimize its psychological and physical consequences.
Fight, Flight…or Die?
When anger kicks in, your body readies itself to respond to a perceived threat. Your muscles tense…your digestive processes stop…and certain brain centers start firing in ways that alter your brain chemistry.
These functions reflect our genetically coded response to danger. Unfortunately, nowadays, these strong chemical reactions are inappropriately triggered by minor annoyances—like getting cut off in traffic or being spoken to unkindly.
For modern humans, even thinking about a stressful situation can spark a full-blown “fight-or-flight” response.
In fight-or-flight, your body’s resources mobilize for immediate physical action. Any bodily function not directly related to fighting or fleeing is put on hold, including:
• Digestion
• Assimilation
• Cell production
• Body maintenance
• Circulation (except to the skeletal muscles involved in the fight-or-flight process)
• Healing
• Immunological defenses
Long-Term Consequences from a Moment of Fury
The health consequences of continual fight-or-flight response can be severe. According to Dr. Mercola, a highly regarded and widely published natural health practitioner, our automatic anger response leads to health problems like:
• Headaches
• Digestive imbalances
• Insomnia
• Anxiety
• Depression
• High blood pressure
• Skin problems, including eczema
• Heart attack
• Stroke
Is Your Anger Putting You At Risk for Heart Problems?
Your heart is especially vulnerable to the deadly effects of anger and its consequences. Researchers at Washington State University conducted a study with participants 50 and older.
Those with explosive tempers were significantly more likely to have arterial calcium deposits—a primary indicator of heart attack risk—than those who didn’t.
Study author Bruce Wright, M.D., says lashing out in anger can make stress hormones surge and injure blood vessel linings. But repressing anger is also dangerous.
In fact, Dr. Johan Denollet of the Tilburg University in the Netherlands headed a study of heart disease patients last year—and found that holding in your anger triples your risk of heart attack!
Negative Emotions and Disease
Even the highly conservative Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) admits that 85% of all diseases have a strong link to your emotional state. Other experts believe the real percentage is higher.

Nimrods, nutjobs and those who refuse to admit that the conservative republicans are trying to buy the mid-term e******n should read the article, which highlights how many billions the kochs are spending, but to their chagrin, the democrats have raised even more money, and much of it is a result of President Obama.
mimrods, take note there is no mention to the one you fear the most, Soros.

So all of the experts, like fox, limbah, beck and especially karl "the dummy"rove, will be waiting eagerly for results to come in, and they will suffer some surprise losses, not only in the senat races, but also losing governorships
