Obama: We Didn't Create The Program That Gave Money To Solyndra
— DrewM

Looks like the only heat Solyndra is now producing is on our feckless President.

We are doing the all of the above strategy right. Obviously, we wish Solyndra hadnÂ’t gone bankrupt. Part of the reason they did was because the Chinese were subsidizing their solar industry and flooding the market in ways that Solyndra couldnÂ’t compete. But understand, this was not our program per se.
CongressÂ–Democrats and RepublicansÂ–put together a loan guarantee program because they understood historically that when you get new industriesÂ–itÂ’s easy to raise money for start-ups, but if you want to take them to scale sometimes thereÂ’s a lot of risk involved, and what the loan guarantee program was designed to do was to help start-up companies get to scale. And the understanding is that some companies are not going to succeed, some companies are going to do very well, but the portfolio as a whole ends up supporting the kind of innovation that helps make America successful in this innovative 21st century economy. Do I wish that Solyndra had gone bankrupt? Absolutely not. And obviously itÂ’s heartbreaking it happened for the workers who were there.

There was an earlier loan program but as you might recall, the Bush administration refused to give Solyndra a loan under that. They only got the money after a new program was created under the so-called "stimulus" bill.

That Obama feels the need to lie about this shows they know the issue is cutting against them. Time to double down on it GOP.

3 Yes, we do need to hammer it. I think one of the themes for the GOP platform this year needs to be govt getting out of the business of picking winners and losers. ALL of our candidates at every level need to embrace that, imho.

Standard Oil.
American Telephone and Telegraph.
Ford Motor Company.

Excuse me? Young industries/businesses that are better than their competition scale up -historically- quite nicely just with private investment. Congress created the program to help subsidize industries that are not competitive on their own.

Even if that lie were true- everyone who could add 1 and 1 and not get 17 knew that Solyndra was doomed from the outset, and the BOOOOOSH administration had even already rejected their request.

That's some powerful thinking going on there. Besides that, as Vic has pointed out before, even with China's massive subsidizes and slave labor they aren't making shit on this crap either. Yet Chu and Obama can make it work if we only wish hard enough.

I really, really hope he decides to stick with this line. Okay, for the sake of argument, let's accept your premise, Mr. Obama. Who would the American people rather have running a startup fund, you, who has never managed so much as a TV remote, or the guy who, you know, ran a startup fund very successfully for 25 years? It's a puzzler, that's what it is.

Honestly, this needs to be a major theme for the GOP.

They need to show the things he's done that have fallen flat on their faces, then play his lies (I don't believe he's stupid enough to actually believe what he's saying), and then have a voice over say "Either Barack Obama believes X, or he purposely misled the nation. Which is worse?"

97 Ummmm...Angela Macglowan on Fox News just said "The Republican Party is a very loyal party, and if you are a soldier for the party, for the establishment, they will support you later on. And maybe it's not Rick's time." ??? What is wrong with that statement? The GOP Est decided in 2008 that it was McCain's turn in exchange for his endorsement of Bush over Kerry in 2004 (remember that?) Remember Bush's arm around the shoulders of a very uncomfortable looking McCain as he proudly announced McCain was endorsing him? So...the GOP Est told Romney that they would back him in 2012, but it was McCain's turn in 2008? Who have they decided that I will vote for in 2020?

108 "And the understanding is that some companies are not going to succeed, some companies are going to do very well, but the portfolio as a whole ends up supporting the kind of innovation that helps make America successful in this innovative 21st century economy."

If only there were some proven way of accurately forecasting if a company might succeed or fail. Or some mechanism by which these myriad potential innovations could be vetted, evaluated, and prioritized so as to avoid squandering resources, or even criminal fraud.

But such a thing would require millions - even billions! - of individual evaluators to constantly signal their preferences in real-time, reacting rapidly to an ever-changing flow of information encompassing thousands of different areas of expertise. How could we possibly afford such a thing?

Oh well. Sounds like a job for a Czar.

That "per se" isn't even used correctly. This is very much like Barky's incorrect usage of "don't call my bluff" (WTF) or his weird non-American usage of "all we wee'd up" ... But, at least those other instances are unofficial sorts of things or just baby-talk (by a Precedent who isn't quite familiar with American baby-talk).

177 O can't win on his record so he's running against congress. Geitner(sorry if I misspelled) blamed the budget and cap raising on congress when asked what the cap would need to be raised to in order to cover all oustanding debt. GOP must make sure to show it was the one's blessed congress who passed all this s@@t in his first two years.

178 In other news, Obambi did not create the office of the president, so is not responsible for anything the president does.

This is going to take down Obama just like Whitewater and Travelgate took down Clinton.

What would happen if the GOP pushed a scandal and nobody cared? Well, it's happened before...

180 The Obama administration didn't create the Department of Defense either but BHO still wants credit for making the decision to go get OBL with Seal Team Six ... right? How is this claim any different?

182 So just because you can do something doesn't mean you should?

And it took Weaseldick 3 years to figure that out?

Obama: I didn't invent that program so don't blame me for Solyndra.

OJ Simpson: I didn't invent that knife so don't blame me for those two dead people with slit throats.

184 He doesn't even 'own' what he signs now. If he hadn't personally wrestled bin Laden from his hiding spot and snapped his neck by the light of the moon he wouldn't own anything.

185 "Time to double down on it GOP."

Probably not gonna happen.

When the opportune time comes around, the Republicans are more likely to back down, instead of double down.

186 Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.
