Solyndra

[Red Arrow]

Why is it is so important for conservatives to revel in the failure of Solyndra? 

The thing that bothers me is that the loans were approved after the venture was predicted to fail.  If there had been a prediction of probable success and it failed, then so be it.  It was approved as part of a green agenda regardless of any chance of success.  Promoting green projects is one thing.  Promoting green projects predicted to fail is another, unacceptable thing.

I'm not reveling in it, it's just that it was deemed to fail 3 or 4 years ago, that's why it was not funded by the Bush Administration. The other issue is the DOE and Congress p!!$$ed away a half billion of taxpayer money on this. I'm all for developing new technology and moving the country forward, but it seems that this administration would hire the guy running the pole barn construction scam, and just go "Oh well, we got screwed, live and learn".

Kaiser involved in a lie?

Kaiser previously claimed about his trips to the White House:

Kaiser has "said publically that Solyndra was not discussed at these meetings, and we have no reason to dispute that," the White House official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he had not been given approval to discuss the matter. "We understand that the conversations in these meetings were focused on the general policy priorities of the George Kaiser Family Foundation, including early childhood education and poverty, health care policy and energy policy."

Emails released today show that the meetings were indeed lobby attempts for a second Solyndra loan.

Emails among George Kaiser, head of the George Kaiser Family Foundation; Ken Levit, the executive director of the Foundation; and Steve Mitchell, who manages Argonaut Private Equity and was a member of Solyndra's board; show that Vice President Joe Biden's office were very gung-ho.

"They about had an orgasm in Biden's office when we mentioned Solyndra," reads a Feb. 27, 2010, email from Levit to Mitchell. A follow-up email from Mitchell to Levit later that day responds with: "That's awesome! Get us a (Department of Energy) loan."

Presidents have traditionally chosen VPs that will help prevent assasination attempts.  The threat of the VP becoming President is usually enough.
