Obama: Solyndra...were you not listening...?

President Barack Obama talks at the DeSoto Nex...Image via Wikipedia
I just heard from somebody that was asked if he would vote for Obama again, he said he would have to hold his nose but that he would since there was no other valid option for him.

Holding one’s nose while voting for Obama maybe one way he may get re-elected but even holding one’s nose may not do the trick if things continue to go the way they have been for Obama lately.

The SOLYNDRA issue may do some harm. That is the company that manufactured solar panels in California, was given a $535 million loan guarantee by our Department of Energy and then declared bankruptcy but not before Obama used the company to show the country how his stimulus money was creating new technology and new jobs.

The speed with which the company declared bankruptcy has pointed to some serious idiocy on the part of the Obama administration or as some are saying, Obama’s blindness or inability to listen to warnings from experts and charging along because Solyndra was just the company he needed to promote the success of his plan even if Solyndra did not have a viable business plan to begin with.

The House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee is conducting hearings into this debacle (the taxpayer’s money is gone) but the bosses at Solyndra are already invoking the 5th against criminal self-incrimination…so you know this will not be pretty.

It brings into question Obama’s own ability to lead or to do the right thing. He seems to be all about politics and public relations and his public perception but he is throwing caution to the wind and making some horrendous mistakes with OUR money.

This does not bode well for his ability to lead this nation out of economic turmoil; he seems like a stupid hot headed immature twit hiding behind a serious, well dressed and well spoken façade; just looking and speaking presidential is not enough, you have to show that you can actually have the wisdom to make smart decisions and he obviously does not have that capability.

Once again it appears that Obama did not listen to sound advice of experts but to big money contributors to his campaign…I hope we have another choice in 2012.
