Well, OOPS! UNEXPECTEDLY Solyndra went tits-up, with $535 Billion of taxpayer money.
We also have the Department of Energy's Inspector General and the FBI crawling all over the place.
This Solyndra speech, chock-full of HOPE and CHANGE and GREEN and, as it turns out, EPIC FAIL.
1. So we recognized that we've got to go back to basics. We've got to go back to making things. We've got to go back to exports. We've got to go back to innovation. And we recognized that there was only so much government could do. The true engine of economic growth will always be companies like Solyndra, will always be America's businesses. But that doesn't mean the government can just sit on the sidelines. Government still has the responsibility to help create the conditions in which students can gain an education so they can work at Solyndra, and entrepreneurs can get financing so they can start a company, and new industries can take hold. [AND give the Company $535 Billion so the CEO &c. can donate substantial GREEN to DEMOCRAT INTERESTS -ed.]
2. That's not all. You're also proving something more. Every day that you build this expanded facility, as you fill orders for solar panels to ship around the world, you're demonstrating that the promise of clean energy isn't just an article of faith -- not anymore. It's not some abstract possibility for science fiction movies or a distant future -- 10 years down the road or 20 years down the road. It's happening right now. The future is here. We're poised to transform the ways we power our homes and our cars and our businesses. And we're poised to lead our competitors in the development of new technologies and products and businesses. And we are poised to generate countless new jobs, good-paying middle-class jobs, right here in the United States of America.
Another BHO EPIC FAIL speech tonight. I don't expect much more than the same-ole tripe, and wanting to spend more money to improve his re-election chances (which, now, are looking rather grim).
More importantly, immediately following the speech (and in some cases, WHAT SPEECH?) I'll be cracking a beer and pulling for the Saints.
Oh, one more time...
