The Code Pink heckler went on and on and on and on, causing Obama to have to wait it out for a spell until she could be gently ushered out. The whole incident is hilarious because the speech was being given at the National Defense University. And where was the security during all this? Nowhere, because she was clearly there as a planted prop for Obama to help his policies along, and to try add to the deflection tactic against Obama's current scandal woes. Only thing missing was a symphony orchestra. LOL!

Interesting conspiracy theory. Just a couple problems: Code Pink has been bashing Obama over these issues for a long time. Also, she wasn't a plant, in her own words.

Of course she was there for Obama. The entire event was a pathetic Obama distraction for the clueless. The only thing missing was Leonard Bernstein waving his baton.

Jongs is right. She was let in there, for the benefit of Obama.

She was allowed to carry on, saying pretty much exactly what Obama himself campaigned on ( sorry, how can we ever tell the difference between where his campaign ends and his time in office started ? ).

In fact, Obama was basically heckling himself, via the Code Pink proxy, so as to make himself look ( to the low information folks ) as if he's on the outside of all this, that he's a moderate, and not the nut-job Left wing zealot like this boorish, rude lady is, who kept interrupting him .

Yeah... the dumb masses will buy it. They always have.

So much so that he's been re-elected into the Oval Office, despite the smear tactics and negative campaigns thrown at him from the right. Just think, the majority of the American public are all dumb - like you say.....

Those same "dumb" folk believed the previous administration when they found WMDs in Iraq. Bush and company will go down in history as one of our greatest presidents......Cheney and Rumsfeld too.

What part of fabricating a story about the youtube video as the reason why some angry protesters ended up murdering 4 Americans in Libya is part of this so called smear campaign ?

Or the IRS politically targeting law abiding Americans, after they testified and assured us that no such thing was going on, when in fact, they KNEW, has anything to do w/ the GOP not liking Obama ?

And spying on reporters ? Where's that get fun ? And more importantly, how's that got anything to do w/ the GOP ?

Seriously, you're on the verge of being completely brain washed by an admin that is the most corrupt in US history.

The GOP's hatred for Obama , no matter what you believe, can't be called out every time this corrupt administration does something which is indeed wrong.

Should be easy for Obama to close Gitmo.

Just call it a solar panel company, give it a trillion dollar energy loan, and watch it close down in a month.

Has Obama ever given the American people an excuse, ANY excuse, as to why he hasn't made good on his promise to close Gitmo ?

It's really sad and of course frustrating to watch the hard-core righties here pull out the same old bullshit time and time again, as if it has any meaning, rather than address anything of substance.

The Solar Industry is Thriving and Solyndra was the Exception Not the Rule

Although some people are having “crazy, knee-jerk reactions”, polling and focus groups are showing that the public is not falling for arguments that the Solyndra bankruptcy is a sign that the US should pull back its support for clean energy.

“Nobody believes the solar industry is falling over because one solar company that did less than two-tenths of 1% went bankrupt,” said Danny Kennedy. http://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Solar-Energy/The-Solar-Industry

Failed Green Energy Companies Backed by President Barack Obama (the short list)...



Solar Trust of America: FAIL! - Filed Bankruptcy in Oakland, CA, April 3, 2012



Bright Source: FAIL! - Bright Source warned Obama’s Energy Department officials in March 2011 that delays in approving a $1.6 billion U.S. loan guarantee would embarrass the White House and force the solar-energy company to close. Bright Source lost billions of dollars but is getting more money to keep trying. Can you say, “This isn’t working Mr. President?”



Solyndra: FAIL! - Obama gave $500,000,000 (that’s a HALF BILLION!) in taxpayer money to Solyndra who shut its doors and laid off 1100 workers in August 2011 after billions in losses due to failure to make a solar product that works! Barack Obama was not vetted before being elected President and neither was Solyndra before Mr. Obama threw that taxpayer money down the drain of unproven technology.



LSP Energy: FAIL! - LSPEnergy LP filed bankruptcy protection and a sale of its assets in Feb 2012



Energy Conversion Devices: FAIL! – On February 14, 2012 Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. and its subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy



Abound Solar: FAIL! - Abound Solar received a $400 million loan guarantee from Barack Obama then announced in June, 2012 that it would file for bankruptcy. Many of these failed corporations, such as Abound, donated MILLIONS and continue to donate to Barack Obama’s campaign. Can you say, “Democrat Slush Fund”? Yes this is illegal. But Democrats are being protected from being prosecuted, for now.



SunPower: FAIL! - SunPower stopped producing solar cells in 2011 at near bankruptcy then restructured with the help of, get this, oil giant TOTAL, Inc. who owns 60% stake in SunPower. Irony? The company is still struggling.



Beacon Power: FAIL! – Beacon Power Corp filed for bankruptcy protection in October, 2011 just a year after Obama approved a $43 million Government loan guarantee. They remain barely in business, still struggling to make energy that makes sense or that works at all.



Ecotality: FAIL! - ECOtality, a San Francisco green-tech company that never earned any money and remains on the verge of bankruptcy after receiving roughly $115 million in two loan guarantees from President Obama, who wants to do some more of this kind of Democrat Slush Fund Guarantees after he is elected to a 2nd term.



A123 Solar: FAIL! - A123 Solar received $279 million from taxpayers thanks to President Obama’s Department of Energy loan guarantees even after the Solyndra bankruptcy and is getting another $500M from Obama after a loss of $400M.



UniSolar: FAIL! - Uni-Solar filed for Ch 11 bankruptcy in June 20, 2012 after laying off hundreds of workers. UniSolar received even more Obama money after showing now progress, no profits and is still failing… yet they still remain in business with Obama’s help.



Azure Dynamics: FAIL! - Azure Dynamics filed for bankruptcy in June , 2012 wasting millions in Obama “Stimulus” money and received abatement on taxes owed and and several tax credits. Azure Dynamics LLC filed for bankruptcy protection in Canada and the US. Azure laid off 120 of its 160 employees in Oak Park; Boston; Vancouver, British Columbia; and the UK.



Evergreen Solar: FAIL! - Evergreen Solar received $527 Million in Taxpayer money from Obama and filed bankruptcy in late 2011. Evergreen, which closed its taxpayer-supported Devens factory in March, 2011 cut more than 1800 jobs. Evergreen’s $450 million factory, turned out to be a colossal “waste” of taxpayer money.



Ener1: FAIL! Ener1 Inc. received a $118 million U.S. Energy Department grant from President Obama to make electric-car batteries but filed for bankruptcy protection January 2012 after defaulting on bond debt.



"In May 2012 Obama declared he's doubling down on failed federal efforts to boost the solar industry which has NEVER proven to produce a single working product. Like Socialism, no evidence ot works, but they just keep doubling down on the failed ideals.

Republicans believe Obama is gambling with taxpayer dollars as he continues to aggressively push alternative forms of energy proven to be more than 20 years off in working effectively and being affordable. After the failure of Solyndra, which resulted in the loss of half a billion dollars in taxpayer dollars President Obama is going to give America more of tht same: FAIL.

This is one of those interesting left-wing ideas which works theoretically as long as it’s not real. And then you put in a half billion dollars and you go, ‘Oh that didn’t quite work.’

Snarks, or cutsie little emoticons, suitable for the 6 year old crowd ?

Seriously Niki ?


As I see it, the Left has become more and more shrill, as their great leader's policies have only made matters worse. A LOT worse. And at a huge financial cost to the American tax payer.
