a lot of very important people on more than one continent disagree with you

however, it's very curious to see who devalued solar energy in order to kill these US companies, yet not chinese or european

again, i have no idea why you're so stuck on this stimulus infrastructure spending, when there is far more juicer pieces floating around

please stop with facts !

yep thats why china invested 30 billion in green energy and own solar which we created in america.

to the point where one could say that anyone who speaks out against green energy is dirty communist

and everyone who backs the tea party is an iranian sympathizer

if koch is making money selling parts to Iran..

did you ask yourself the same thing when you voted for Bush for the second time?

Magic 8 ball says "spin again".

The White House noted to ABC News that the Bush administration was the first to consider Solyndra's application and that some executives at the company have a history of donating to Republicans.

The results of the Congressional probe shared Tuesday with ABC News show that less than two weeks before President Bush left office, on January 9, 2009, the Energy Department's credit committee had voted against offering a loan commitment to Solyndra.

Even after Obama took office on Jan. 20, 2009, analysts in the Energy Department and in the Office of Management and Budget were repeatedly questioning the wisdom of the loan. In one exchange, an Energy official wrote of "a major outstanding issue" -- namely, that Solyndra's numbers showed it would run out of cash in September 2011.

There was also concern about the high-risk nature of the project. Internally, the Office of Management and Budget wrote that "the risk rating for the project sponsor [Solyndra] ? seems high." Outside analysts had warned for months that the company might not be a sound investment.

Peter Lynch, a New York-based solar energy analyst, told ABC News it took only a cursory glance through Solyndra's prospectus to see there was a problem with their numbers.

"It's very difficult to perceive a company with a model that says, well, I can build something for six dollars and sell it for three dollars," Lynch said. "Those numbers don't generally work. You don't want to lose three dollars for every unit you make."

Will you when you vote for Barry?

i got links.. where are yours?

think it will be close depends on how well repubs cheat

well, he has to deal with the rubble the gwb mismanagement left for him as legacy ... i bet america will blame HIM for that ... so, no, i dont think he will make it again

ditto :thumbsup

30 billion of undervalued currency?

LOL

RING THE BELLLLLLLLLLLLL.......
No

He has raised several times more funds for his campaign than anyone else so far. He can literally buy his way in through the media.

Sure, that's a good argument... If we ignore the epic failure of a mess his administration has left that makes Bush seem like Bush lite.

Here is an interesting scenario....Obama's handlers tell him he needs to pick Mrs Clinton as his VP. Obama gets reelected. Obama gets killed in a false flag attack (since he is not really "one of them") by another patsy war veteran (they love using veterans as patsies right?). This fuels racial discord. Riots ensue. The Clintons are back in the White House. The bankers/financiers are forgotten.

ABO - Anyone Butt Obama

I love how you fucking idiots who know nothing keep talking in absolutes

I actually think that he will stick with Biden for now, but if he wins re-election Biden will likely step down and he will make Clinton VP which puts her in a prime spot to run at the end of his second term.

The Republicans need to nominate Newt Gingrich. None of them can match Obama's debate skills, but Newt is the only one that Obama can't walk all over.

The expanding 99% movement could rally liberal voters and not only put Obama back in, but give Congress back to the Dems. I think these protests are going to grow dangerously large next year and the potential is there for political riots in the US for the first time in decades.

How the left felt in 2004 when Bush got re-elected is how the right will feel in 2012. I think they will be even more crushed though. Conservatives know that an Obama win and losing congressional seats would be a serious blow to modern conservatism (which is already on life support).

IMO the only man that could have done it for the Republicans is Donald Trump, but he was never serious. It was a publicity stunt. His life is too comfortable as a Wall Street celebrity.

I think 4 years is far too short of a time for one administration to make a real change. It's just enough time for them to begin unraveling the previous administrations ball of knots and then boom they put someone else with a different plan in there and repeat.. hope he gets re-elected.

I hope the hell not.

Having a hard time figuring out why anybody would even ask the question :upsidedow

Historically presidents (almost) never get reelected when the economy is in the shitter.

Roosevelt was an exception primarily because his opponent(s) were perceived as offering nothing except more of that which precipitated the country's economic collapse.

Obama too will be reelected for precisely the same reason.

Without reading any part of this thread... I hope he does not get re-elected.

Brad

Can't vote, felon...so I'm relying on GFY to make the right decision :thumbsup

Obama? I can't believe anyone would even consider voting for him.

Check out our interview on youtube.

Regardless of who is actually responsible, it all fell apart on Obama's watch. Then it got worse, and continues to worsen. I assume they will polish the turd a bit when it comes election time, and the world will fall for it as they usually do, but the band-aid will fall off once he's reelected. He's such a smooth talker and he's going to have a gazillion dollars to spend on his campaign.

I hope he doesn't get reelected, but I think he will.

sssshhhhhhhhh :1orglaugh

The only problem with Obama not getting reelected is that some bible thumping, "Oh my God I saw a naughty picture on the interwebs !", "Let them eat cake" type will be elected in his place.

Personally, I'm still waiting for none of the above to announce his or her candidacy.

China is crumbling right now and when they fall, they will fall very hard. Their looming financial problems are well beyond the scope and scale of any other developed nation and they have yet to crash.
:2 cents:

BTW.. not sure why people who think a guy who got elected simply by chanting "hope and change" and "yes we can" - can't get elected again just as easily.

You can make that observation from Norway? Man, you're good, stunningly insightful and super smart.

I think most are embarrassed about his eyebrow toupee falling off.

The problem with voting against that guy is that you then have to vote for someone else.

Have you taken a good look at the selection of someone else's lately?

We're talking the bar scene from the first Star Wars movie here.

Yes, HE CAN

there is a picture of paul markham in this thread !
