Solyndra: Politics infused Obama energy programs "Linda Sterio remembers the excitement when President Obama arrived at Solyndra last year and described how his administration’s financial support for the plant was helping create hundreds of jobs. The company’s prospects appeared unlimited as Solyndra executives described the backlog of orders for its solar panels.
"Then came the August morning when Sterio heard a newscaster announce that more than a thousand Solyndra employees were out of work. Only recently did she learn that, within the Obama administration, the company’s potential collapse had long been discussed.
"“It’s not about the people; it’s politics,” said Sterio, who remains jobless and at risk of losing her home. “We all feel betrayed.” "

MORE PROOF THAT THE OBAMA GANG IS THE MOST CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION OF ALL-TIME: "The documents reviewed by The Post, which began examining the clean-technology program a year ago, provide a detailed look inside the day-to-day workings of the upper levels of the Obama administration.

Revealed: Solyndra Was About Politics and Only Politics "Why Solyndra? "Top Obama bundler George Kaiser made multiple visits to the White House in the months before the company was granted a $535 million loan from the government. And top Solyndra officials also made numerous visits — 20 — to the White House, according to logs and reporting by The Daily Caller. Solyndra officials in the logs included chairman and founder Christian Gronet and board members Thomas Baruch and David Prend. The company secured the $535 million loan despite the fact that it was widely known Solyndra was in deep economic trouble and had negative cash flows since its inception."
Now it only remains for us to see how or if this will all be covered by ABC, CBS, CNN, PBS and any source with the letters N,B and C in their name. Remember however, that the press is heavily invested in the success of the Obama administration.
During the 2008 campaign, the network morning shows acted as cheerleaders for the Democratic field. This time around, they are providing far more hostile coverage of the various Republicans who are running, while treating Obama’s re-election campaign to the same personality-driven coverage that was so helpful to the then-Illinois Senator four years ago.Above quote from the Media Research Center article excerpted here: How the Network Morning Shows Are Trashing Republicans and Trumpeting Barack Obama in Campaign 2012
