Audit: Review of Solyndra 'rushed'

The Treasury's review of the $535 million federal loan guarantee to Solyndra happened in about one day in 2009.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/74826.html
QuoteThe Treasury Department's review of Solyndra's $535 million federal loan guarantee was "rushed" through in about one day in March 2009, "based on an expedited review request from DOE so that a press release could be issued," according to a Treasury inspector general report that gives further evidence of the early Obama administration's eagerness to announce progress in funding clean energy.
The report, issued Tuesday, also quotes internal Treasury documents that portray the Energy Department as being under pressure to get the loan agreement out the door.

One of the hallmarks of adulthood is dealing with problems instead of hoping they go away.

Unfortunately for the GOP, women aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

This post gave me an idea: a site that measures a person's degree of partisanship by the jokes they find funny.

Romney now beating Santorum by 5 points in Pennsylvania for first poll taken this April. The former Senator's home state votes in less than 3 weeks. Can Romney stop Santorum from dragging on into May and June?

Santorum isn't going to withdraw from the race.  I don't think Gingrich and Paul will either.  They're in it to the bitter, crazy end.

I think Santorum is pinning all his hopes on Pennsylvania somehow turning things around for him.  But it looks like it'll be his Waterloo.

Santorum seems determined to sabotage Romney like Regan sabotaged Ford.

He needs somebody that will make the pastors in the many evangelical mega churches want to encourage their flock to vote.
Isn't that "somebody" Obama? Seems to me like Romney's going to need someone with some foreign policy cred.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

The funny part about it is that the very same people who sue to prove the gubmint can 'regulate inactivity" and force someone to buy insurance whether they want it or not argue that the gubmint can, indeed, "regulate inactivity" and force other people to get an ultrasound whether they want it or not.

And those morons don't even see how funny it is.  They are completely unable to see hypocrisy when they are the ones engaged in it.  That's some funny shit.

The impression that I'm getting is that conservative christians would rather not vote than vote for a heathen like Romney.

Not all of them.

Is that your impression or your hope?
