ABC News: Bush admin REJECTED Solynda loans

ABC News: Bush admin REJECTED Solynda loans in Jan 2009.“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 made a unanimous decision not to offer a loan commitment to Solyndra.” Change we can lose half a billion on! Here’s one thing not even Obama can say was Bush’s fault… not that that will stop President Pointy Fingers from trying.

  • I'm happy Bush CYA'd on the deal. That left greedy "O" hanging. You know "O" got $$$$ for his campaign going along with that deal. They stepped in the bucket and everyone can smell it but we'll all pay for it. Thanks, genius.

  • I'll wait and see what excuses and lies "O" comes up with on this one. But you can bet HE'LL HAVE AN EXCUSE and it's not HIS FAULT.

  • Uhm decisions decisions...

    Either state that Bush's intentions was to give them the loan at some point just not then, so he is still worst that Obama... OR to state that Bush is obviously a bad person for not caring about the environment and taut that even though it failed at least Obama has a heart.

    • Well yeah, of course. If Solyndra had obtained that money when they first asked for it, their failed business plan would have work much better. See, it was verrrry time sensitive. Bush wanted to screw the non-oil businesses, he as much as said so, didn't he? Okay, maybe not. Doesn't matter. Bush fault.

  • When are we going to get it through our thick heads, IT'S BUSH'S FAULT.
    We can't be racist and blame it on a poor ole back man and his commie buddies
