Solar company hyped by Obama goes belly up

Solar company hyped by Obama goes belly up. Solyndra, the San Francisco Bay Area solar company that picked up a cool $535 million low cost loan from from the Federal government has closed its doors and locked out its employees. Next step, liquidation. Alternate headline: Green workers get pink slips.

  • Obama has a black thumb. He can kill and destroy just about anything. It would be fascinating to study if it wan't pushing the entire country into the toilet!

  • The former British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, was noticed to have a disastrous effect on any organisation for which he expressed support. The British political website, order-order.com, catalogued a series of catastrophic interventions by "Jonah" Brown, including offering best wishes to sports teams (which were doomed to abject failure), visits to factories (which either closed altogether, or laid off hundreds of staff shortly afterwards) and support for candidates (who were usually humiliated).

    I am convinced that Obama has consciously followed the example of Gordon Brown in many areas, despite the blindingly obvious truth that Brown is completely barking. It seems that the disciple has even inherited the teacher's ability to destroy jobs, capital and livelihoods by merely being photographed.

  • Surprise, surprise...

    Dig back and take a look at some of the housing "projects" he was involved in around his Chicago district. His work rates the 4 P's of business.

    Piss Poor Prior Planning

  • What do you expect? This is in the 3rd world liberal federation of Kali-for-nia. I'm sure if the gubment went and looked "closely" at the assets of the board members they might find that many of them have invested in wineries in the Napa Valley and other properties but NOW they're all broke as a Frisco Mission street wino. Doesn't this happen about 100% of the time the gubment has it's paws on any kind of business? I love the Shasta region of Kali-for-nia but the rest of it can drop in the ocean.

  • The Obama, or should I say Obungles curse continues... Everything he touts or touches turn to a large pile of dung.
